Blog Post – Light up the dark autumn night with Pink Pasta:
What a looong wordpress summer break I had….guess I was busy drinking that Watermelon-Mint juice. But with this beautiful fall arriving, I created a new Recipe. My kitchen is full of great autumn ingredients like Persimmons, Figs, Grapes, Pumpkins, Apples, Coles and Carrots and Soups and Stews are almost a daily must for dinner.
9 years ago in Key West, Florida, I ordered a Beet Pasta Plate. I don’t exactly now the combination of the dish anymore. But what I do remember is that impressive pink pasta on my plate and I loved it.
Remembering this, I created a Beet Pesto, with 5 simple ingredients: Beet, Garlic, Sun dried Tomatoes, Cashews and Pepper.
I have to say, I’m a little bit in love with it! And to keep my karma balanced I of course share.
Have a colorful fall!
