Presto Pasta Nights #204: Round Up

March 12, 2011 by Sarah Trivuncic 10 Comments

I have not been well in the past 48 hours hence regular readers may be wondering where the rest of my Le Manoir series has got to – I’ll be publishing the garden post tomorrow with the all important patisserie course review early next week.

Tonight though I’ve pulled myself from wallowing under a blanket on the sofa to bring you the round up for Presto Pasta Nights #204 which I am hosting this week for Ruth at Once Upon a Feast. I must apologise for not having visited and commented on all of the individual posts yet but will do so over the next couple of days when hopefully I will be fighting fit.

On with the round up….

Catching Up With The Clarkes: A mish mash of Nigella’s Penne Alla Vodka and her Penne All’Amatriciana

This one was my favourite – I think it’s really clever how she’s made it look like a picture in a restaurant!

And the other entries, in no particular order are…

The Seventh Level of Boredom: Loaf-a-roni

 

Pictures of a Princess: Spring Pasta Primavera

 

Allotment 2 Kitchen: Cumin Cauliflower Pasta Salad

 

Ruth at Once Upon a Feast: Farfalle with Chicken Pollo & Mushrooms with Creamy Sherry Sauce

 

Honey From Rock: Gourmet Tuna Mac N Cheese

 

Teczcape: Collard Greens Noodles (Japchae)

A Moderate Life: Mexitalian Pasta Bake

 

Erbe in Cucina (Cooking with herbs): Cauliflower Pasta with Aromatic Herbs

 

The Allergic Kid: Meatball Kebabs with Couscous

 

Tandy Sinclair: Mushroom and Gorgonzola Pasta

 

My Kitchen Treasures : Pasta with Artichoke, mushrooms and caramelized onions

 

The Beet Reporter: Butternut-Rosemary Macaroni and Cheese

 

Kit’s Chow: Vegetarian Rice Rolls

 

Life in the Slow Lane at Squirrel Head Manor: Chicken Florentine Artichoke Bake

 

and finally, myself, Maison Cupcake: Nigella Express Macaroni Cheese

 

Hop on over for next week’s Presto Pasta Nights #205 hosted by Debbi Does Dinner. To take part email your entries to: crabbymomofthree (at) comcast (dot) net and cc them to Ruth: ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com

A big thank you to everyone who took part in PPN #204
