Easy pleasing spring pasta.


Sorry my faithful silent reader to have left you hanging in cyber blog land for such a very long time. A lot of what has been happening in my life lately is best left unrecorded. I am back and will be sticking to writing about food this week.
There is a new restaurant called “Basil Pasta Bar” that opened here in Vancouver on Davie Street, just around the corner from where our home is located. They have a great selection of ingredients, several choices of pasta and excellent sauces. You just put together which ever combo suits your fancy. It makes for an excellent test kitchen for my trophy H pasta suppers loved by MrD and crowds of lucky dining guests.
Here is a great recipe for an easy pleasing pasta dish that you can make in your own kitchen.
I used fussily but any pasta you want will work just “bene”. Chop up a couple of anchovies, a strip of crunchy grilled bacon, a slice or two of smoked salmon and a couple of spears of grilled asparagus and add these all to the pasta with a spoon of pesto. Stir well and serve garnished with some crumpled goat cheese and fresh oregano.
Buon Appetito
