Living Vicariously Through Other People's Pasta

This week, yet again, I won't be making pasta. That's probably the hardest part about doing the South Beach Diet, Phase I...that and no fruit. Oh well, only one more week to go. So I thought I'd live vicariously through other people's pasta this week.

I found a great recipe site - CD Kitchen with hundreds of thousands of recipes...true not all are pasta dishes, but this one is....Cavatelli with Broccoli Rabe.

My good friend Christie at Christie's Corner made this glorious looking Pasta with Garlic Scape & Herb Pesto

A gorgeous looking Pasta Summervera by guest blogger, Kerri Conan on Bitten (one of my favorite Wednesday visits at NYTimes.

How could I not drool over this Capellini with Shrimp in Creamy Tomato Sauce over at Gourmet Magazine.

Okay...that's all I can handle for now. One more week and I can eat whole & mulit grain pastas or even better Dreamfields Pasta (they have lots of recipes here for low glycemic index pasta dishes). SIGH.....

Tomorrow, Graziana of Erbe in Cucina will be posting the Presto Pasta Night Roundup #121. I can't wait to check it out and see what I can "South Beachize". You still have time to send your entries to scrivi (at) erbeincucina (dot) it and cc me ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com.

Guidelines to share your pasta dishes.

And if you'd like to host a Presto Pasta Night Roundup yourself, just send me an email. September 25th is available as well as lots of dates in the October and beyon. What are you waiting for...it's great fun and a fabulous way to get introduced to other awesome bloggers.

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for the shout out. I'll have to do a Presto Pasta Night sometime. I love pasta but don't make it that often. Guess this is my excuse to do some carb-loading.
