Well there was a happy ending to my "taken for a ride" post. I had also purchased some asparagus that although pricy was really good and so I concocted a pasta primavera that was actually delicious although the contribution made by the peas was rather minimal. I used the peas, some asparagus cut up. broccoli florets, scallions, garlic, shallots, carrots, celery and a few small fresh tomatoes. It was sensational. The pasta was mafaldine by Poiatti a very good pasta outfit from Marsala in Sicily that is the same rand I use when I'm there. Because the factory is close by, this pasta is very cheap. Here in the Sates it's a different story. At any rate it's nice to find this brand stateside.
For those with a morbid curiosity in thech matters, the camera was the Olympus EP L-2 with a Nikkor 24mm F 1:2.8 that becomes a 48mm lens. It was hand held and shot under fluorescent light. This may attribute for it's lack of super sharpness. But it looks delicious and it was.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
