This was an Oh Wow moment for me again.  For some reason, I had never thought that you could flavour pasta. How did I miss this, given all the pasta that I have eaten over the years – surely the flavouring was in the sauce. Well, now that someone has given me “permission” to flavour my Penne, the possibilities are endless. Think of basil flavoured pasta with a mushroom sauce or beet flavoured pasta in a sour cream and sausage sauce.<\/p>\n

OK, maybe I should just stick to working with yarn! Anyway, the pumpkin pasta was from a restaurant review of a new Italian restaurant (Carisma) in Toronto that had a pasta dish which was pumpkin ravioli stuffed with veal and topped with fried sage. Ymmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The parallel in knitting would be dyed yarn (flavoured pasta) whipped up in a cute new design (sauce) and  finished with an elegant pin (garnish). There that was easy – no time at all, as quick as it would take anyone to make pumpkin pasta from scratch. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The pictures are of Fantastic Knitting hand dyed yarn (Alpacalicious) from Infiknit in some saucy patterns with garnishes of pins, buttons or embroidery etc.<\/p>\n

Dinner – not pasta again – anything but pasta – anything? – OK pasta.  Here’s a site with lots of flavoured pastas<\/a> – one is even a chocolate pasta – see what you would have missed, if you passed on the pasta!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
