My favorite pasta components:
- Pasta — penne, ziti, and angel hair are favorites; I’m partial to anything crazy - the boyfriend has taken to buying topsy turvy shapes and flavors, anything from artichoke to peppercorn (peppercorn is pictured here)
- A very basic, no frills marinara base
- Minced garlic
- Tomatoes, spinach, etc when fresh (sadly, no fresh veggies for tonight’s dinner)
- A veritable cornucopia of herbs and spices
- My super secret ingredients, never to be revealed (except to family, of course!)
Cook and serve. Indulge!
