Savoury
Okay, I gotta admit that these two young ladies have really got me going in all directions! I’ve often scoffed at the idea of masala pasta – cringed at those ready masala pasta packets in the store aisles, but last week I began to ask – what was so horrendous about it? I mustn’t pull faces at any kind of food. There’s grain, sauce, seasonings – but it’s just that I am so conditioned to see authentic as is – a pasta must be Italian and nothing else. Well, I must change this, and perhaps this is my stepping stone.
I used the delicious SpiceQure Immunity Booster powder with quinoa pasta, with a milk base-sauce. The sauce just lightly coats the penne and tastes just delicious, even without cheese. But in my books, cheese is always a good idea!
