Presto Pasta Night Roundup #147



This week our fantastic guest host, Sara of Cupcake Muffin did a super job of rounding up all those tasty pastas. Often we get more than one lasaga, or mac 'n cheese, but this is the first time I think, when the theme seems to be Stir Fry. Each one looking sooooo good, I can't wait give them a try. If stir fry is not your thing, there are still lots of wonderful choices. Thanks everyone for all the fantastic recipes. And Sara, I hope you plan on hosting again.

Next week, the lovely Chaya of Sweet & Savory is back. Apparently she couldn't get enough of the job first time around and we're pleased to have her host PPN again. Please send all your pastas her way. Just mention Presto Pasta Night in the post, and send her your link chayathecomfycook (at) yahoo (dot) com and cc me - ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com.

If you'd like to be a PPN host, just drop me a line. February and beyond are wide open.

It's Time for Presto Pasta Night 2010


Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to make sure you all got the news.... the holidays are behind us and everyone is trying to get back in "normal" mode.... whatever that means to you. I know I'm running behind in all I want to do, but I did want to remind you that Presto Pasta Night is back. This week is #145, if you can believe it and it will be the first one of 2010. I'm looking forward to getting all of your latest and greatest pasta dishes to start the year off with a wonderful carb rush.

And for those of you with that all time favorite New Year's Resolution of losing weight... remember that whole grain or multigrain or whole wheat pastas are an excellent source of fibre and you don't get all those "processed-flour-that-turns-to-sugar" empty calories. I whipped up some multigrain farfalle and tossed it with roasted vegetables and a little olive oil, a pinch of red chili pepper flakes and sprinkling of grated Parmesan. It was delicious. Of course somehow I couldn't find my camera, so no photo today. Hopefully you'll do better.

Remember to send in your tasty pasta dish - diet or no by Thursday night (that's tomorrow) so I can post it in this week's roundup on Friday. Email ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com

See you all back at the roundup.
