Sei Colore Pasta

For my birthday, my brother Grant and his partner gave me a beautiful basket filled with all kinds of Italian gourmet delights. Included in the basket of was a bag of six color pasta. Of course I couldn’t wait to use it.

The pasta added such depth and heartiness to the dish. It was fabulous!

For this recipe, I sauteed garlic in olive oil with marinated red peppers and onions, seasoning, fresh basil and Italian parsley. I included red pepper flakes for heat, mixed in al dente pasta and finished it with some fresh baby spinach. 

We enjoyed this meal with a rich Pinot Noir.

Spinach Salad

I found that when you add fresh berries, lightly roasted nuts and shallots to a simple spinach salad, it really gives the dish a delicious complex flavor. Change out the nuts and berries for variety.

Super easy, super tasty, super satisfying!
