Last night was pasta night - as usual - on a Wednesday. It's been a while since I "did" a pasta post. One can have too much of a good thing, I sometimes think. Or perhaps a break is as good as a holiday... We have still been having our Wednesday pasta, but I think I have (unusually) had other things on my mind. Not this morning.
Last night's pasta was a flavour memory.
The sauce, such as it was, used up a smidgen of leftover tomato sauce that was occupying fridge space. To that, and to make it richer, I added tomato puree, a little water and some sun-dried tomato leather pesto. After adding the pasta (I should have taken photos!) I added a hefty dollop of Trish's garlicky tzatziki. Plated, that was topped with crispy bacon and served with grated cheese.
Call it a bastardised version of the Macchiata pasta we used to eat at Borussos in Campground Road, Cape Town, more than 20 years ago.
Happy memories on a plate.
Until next time, be well

I am participating in @traciyork's twice-yearly Hive Blog Posting Month.
If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
