ROSE FARFALLE ๐ ๐ฟ๐
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
How do you feel about pasta for the weekend? As for me, I can eat pasta any day and any season especially healthy one like this. Not to mention, easy and quick to prepare; oh and delicious!
As you know they are many types of pasta which Italian cuisine is famous for and the most known are obviously spaghetti, penne, fettuccine and lasagna. I know many more and I am sure you do too, however, I just discovered the Italian name for the Bow Tie Pasta, which is FARFALLE, derived from the word butterflies, based on Wikipedia.
Isn't that interesting? In this case, this pasta is even more appropriate for this time of year. I can just imagine siting in a beautiful garden full of butterflies and enjoying nice feast with friends and family.
I wish you equally beautiful and joyful weekend ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฆ

That would be great. I would send you some cake๐คญ๐
That sounds wonderful, yum! ๐
this looks so yummy Lena, I love the italian kitchen :)
Thank you so much Sweetie ๐
Howdy Miss Lena! wow that looks incredible, it really is a gorgeous dish unless it just looks that way because you made it. If I made it the thing would probably look like a pile of junk!
You can use cashews in everything can't you? Cashew cream with tomato sauce...I think it sounds good but I've never had cashew cream so I'm not sure. The only thing this perfect dish needs to make it more perfect is a great big chilled bottle of red organic wine!
Howdy Janton! Regardless how you would make it look, it would be delicious. I actually added more sauce on top of my plate, so it wasn't so pretty anymore, but oh boy, it was soooooooo yummy. And if red organic wine would make you happy than why not. It would go quite well with this dish, although I am not an expert. But my daughter is; she loves red wine ๐๐ท
Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you would try the cashew cream someday. It really is amzing!!! ๐๐
Howdey today Miss Lena! I will try that cashew cream for sure. Can you make it in a regular blender?
Your daughter has good taste!
Oh yes, she does, lol.
I think you should be able to make it. As long as you don't put too much. Try 1/2 cup at first . Make sure you soak them for 4 hours and rinse. Blend with water, but check the recipe; the amount of water depends on what you are making.
Ok but first we gotta buy some cashews and Mrs. J is very strict in what she allows to be bought, I know she thinks cashews are very expensive.
Howdy Janton! Well yes, they are, but if you go to Walmart, you can buy them in bulk and buy only 1 cup. Make sure you get the and raw and no salt!
Howdy today Miss Lena! you are saying to get the organic and raw with no salt?
How are you today?
I am not sure about organic. I don;t think they selling them in bulk n Walmart, plus they would be even more expensive. But that's up to you and Mrs.J.
Today I have lots of catching up to do! I briefly saw your posts, so I am going back to read and comment. I was busy last couple of days. I also posted a new post yesterday from visit in Toronto museum, which may interest you. Quite fascinating history from India.
