Presto Pasta Night #224 Almost Here

FINAL UPDATE: Hooray!!! Anu had to borrow another laptop, but the roundup is up and gorgeous and delicious. Thanks everyone for those great dishes and thanks Anu for making it happen in spite of a broken laptop.


UPDATE: Anu's laptop is misbehaving. So everyone... cross your fingers, say a little prayer and keep checking for the roundup. If she can't get it fixed by tomorrow night, I'll recreate it with the entries you've cc'd me.

It's Friday once again and that means fantastic dishes served up at Presto Pasta Night Roundup #224. Anu of Truth Personified is this week's hostess with the mostest. So keep checking back for the roundup.

Thanks everyone for all your great contributions and to Anu for doing such a great job hosting this week.

Next week, I'll be hosting, so send all your delicious dishes to me - ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com by Thursday, Aug 4th.

It's Thursday & Getting Ready for Presto Pasta Night # 224

I can't believe it's Thursday already and I still haven't decided on what to make for Presto Pasta Night Roundup #224 which is being hosted this week by Anu of Truth Personified. And since I've been so busy with my latest project, plus the fact that it's been sooo hot I haven't wanted to boil water, I haven't made any pasta this week.

I've also been too busy to do any housekeeping... dusting, mopping, laundry and yes.... finally going through inbox which has so many "unread" from lots of groups and subscriptions that it's shocking.

So, here are some links to awesome looking pasta dishes that I still haven't tried in the last six months!!!
Glycemic Index Friendly Pasta With Tomato & Bacon Sauce (I even have some Pancetta in my fridge that would be delicious) From Friends Eat

Another Spectacular looking Lasagna from www.allrecipes.com (one of my favorite sites & iPad, iPod apps)

Who can ever resist a Martha Stewart recipe? This lighter Mac 'n Cheese has me drooling and I won't feel guilty - double bonus points.

Chatelaine Magazine is another favorite newsletter and this Red Curry Peanut Noodle dish is an example of why I love it.

The Tasting Table usually has more articles about restaurants than recipes, but that said... check out this Spaghetti with Eggplant & Tomatoes.

Hoping that will inspire you do make a pasta dish tonight and send your entries to harinimenonnair (at) gmail (dot) com and cc ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com
