Presto Pasta Night #244 - Last One for 2011

2011 has been an extraordinary year... especially for pasta lovers.  Forty nine Presto Pasta Night Roundups and hundreds of the most delicious and mouth-watering pasta dishes, shared by all of you.  Thank you all so much for taking a silly notion back in March, 2007 and turning it into one of the longest running weekly blog events out there!!!

Presto Pasta Night #244

This week, Rachel The Crispy Cook is our gracious host and since I'll be out for most of the day, I wanted to make sure to thank you Rachel for putting together a terrific roundup and all of you pasta fans, for an awesome year of pasta making.   Keep checking at The Crispy Cook to find out what's on tap for this week.

The next Presto Pasta Night... the first for 2012 is set for January 6th and I'll be hosting.  You can send your entries to me anytime from now until January 5th - I'll be doing a running draft.  Let's make the first one for 2012 the biggest one ever!   Just send your link to ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com

In the meantime, enjoy the Holiday Season.  I wish you all peace, joy, and lots of opportunities to share some pasta (or anything else) with those you hold dear.

Presto Pasta Night #243 Getting Ready for the Holidays

UPDATE:  Jamie's roundup - #243 is glorious!!!  Thanks all for sharing your perfect pastas, and Jamie for the great way you showcased each one.

This week Jamie of Cookin' With Moxie hosted Presto Pasta Night #243. I've had a few sneak peeks at the entries and they are terrific.  Thanks everyone for a brilliant job.   I've got to head out before Jamie actually gets the roundup finished, but keep checking back with her.

Next week... the last one for 2011 so that everyone can focus on the Holidays... will be hosted by Rachel , The Crispy Cook... for the third time, I might add.   Send your entries to oldsaratogabooks (at) gmail (dot) com and cc ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com by Thursday December 15.   


And remember, that pasta makes a great and easy meal for those last minute dinners - alone or with unexpected company.

Presto Pasta Night #242 Shortest But Tastiest

This may be the shortest Presto Pasta Night roundup since I first started the weekly event in 2007, but given the time of year it's no surprise that we find little time to cook... write... and share!  And in keeping with that sentiment, it's no surprise either that the dishes this week are the quickest, most satisfying pastas... perfect for the season.

Presto Pasta Night #242

Now I had over the pasta pot to our next host... Jamie of  Cookin' With Moxie.  Just cook, share and mention Presto Pasta Nights and Cookin' With Moxie with links and email to jamie (dot)zolli (at) gmail (dot) com and cc ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com by Thursday.
