I have been wanting to just do a couple of dishes with just pasta and so at the end of the month I did. One of my favorite pasta dishes of all time is Carbonara. So Simple, yet so wonderful. I took a package of my Roasted Red Pepper Linguine and cooked it. Meanwhile I browned 4 strips bacon in large skillet. When bacon is browned, I removed it and chopped it. In same skillet, saute a half cup of finely diced onion until translucent. Add the cooked pasta and pour into the pan, 3 eggs beaten with a quarter cup milk or half and half, and a quarter cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Add a half cup of the water the pasta was cooked in and then stir stir stir until the eggs set and a thick sauce forms. Turn onto a serving platter and place the chopped bacon in the middle and top with shaved Parmesan, and lots of black pepper. You can add peas, that is pretty traditional, or I usually add sliced scallions as well.
Wild Mushroom Linguine is the base of this quick and delicious dish. I sauteed some sliced celery, onion and yellow peppers along with some mushrooms. I added a bit of Reisling to the pan and it smelled heavenly. I cooked the Linguine and added it to the skillet and then turned it out onto the platter. Some shaved Parmesan again on top and it just tasted incredible. Simple, fresh ingredients, whole wheat pasta, some olive oil and Parmesan. It was very healthy eating. And spectacularly tasty as evidenced by the happy faces of those that were there to enjoy the excellent food with me.
Now look, my hair is not that funny looking Carol.
These ladies are SLUTS. Yes it is true, look close at their name badges. True SLUTS. Ah, I believe that the world would be a better place if we had more wonderful, wholesome, interesting and fabulous SLUTS like these ladies and the group that they were here with. Hey, I was in heaven, I had ten SLUTS in my store at once and loved every minute of it!
