Let me start by saying I’ve eaten this pasta more than 4 times in the last week. On purpose and willingly. And since I teased y’all with this picture the other day when I asked what do you eat when you’re alone?, I thought sharing the recipe was the right thing to do.
I’ve been watching a lot of tv lately. So much that this post could probably be called “confessions of a tv addict”. I’ve become so engrossed in all of the shows I never thought I’d watch like American Idol (is it wrong for me to be happy that Siobhan was voted off? She was just too… something. I never quite agreed when the judges doted on her. But then what do I know. She’s obviously talented and braver than I ever would be… I can’t even sing in front of my friends so can’t imagine going on stage and/or television. But I digress).
I even sometimes watch daytime tv. Yep, that’s how bad it is. Not soaps, I’ve never been much of a soaps fan except for that one summer in high school when I got hooked on Guiding Light. Then school started and I couldn’t be bothered to set the VCR to record it so I got unhooked (VCR!). It’s probably good there was no such thing as DVR or Tivo back then.
This daytime tv browsing has led me to watching bits of the Martha Stewart Show, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah. I even watched The View one day. I felt a little nauseous after that. But really what I’m trying to tell you is that I watched Rachel Ray. It’s not that I have anything against her per se, but I could never watch her Food Network show because she was always so… perky. With all of the EVOO this and delish that. But somehow she seems a little toned down on her morning show. And I’ve found myself watching her cooking segment on multiple occasions. It was on one of those occasions that I saw her make a pasta very much like this one. And while I haven’t quite made it into fan territory, I am eternally grateful to Ms. Ray for this pasta.
