The other day I told you that I was going to make this pasta for supper and would post the recipe if it was good. Well, it was good...so good that it was all gone before I could get a picture of it. I wondered if I should post the recipe with no picture...but decided I had to...it is just too good not to share. It is from an old cookbook I have ...vintage date 1984. I just love this book. The recipes are seasonal. This one is under the Fall pasta section. It calls for wild mushrooms,I didn't have any so I used baby brown mushrooms instead, and it also called for chicken..I didn't have any so I just skipped it.I bought a leek after Thanksgiving cause it lookes so good and added it here. John has to have meat so I thawed out some sweet italian sausage and just cooked it in a skillet.Today I am making gnocchi...I'll try and get a picture before we eat it all...

YUM-eee!! This sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really tasty. Too bad you live so far away. I would be ringing your doorbell around dinner time! :)
ReplyDeletePlease set another plate at the table...I'll be right over! :)
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read that you ate it before photographing it. I do that more often than I can count! Thanks for posting this anyway - you've helped me to realize that it's OK to do it!
ReplyDeleteAnd from the sound of the recipe, I understand why it was gone so fast.
I love you for sharing this recipe. It will most certainly be making an appearance in my kitchen soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that cookbook! Glad you are sharing a recipe you enjoy, as I tend to run out of ideas when it comes to pasta dishes.
ReplyDeleteOMG!I can't eat after midnight!LOL but that's seem to be simply DELICIOUS!I will try it!Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteStill, I can picture it by your description. Who needs all that stuff you left out anyway!
ReplyDeleteoh wow does that sound good!
ReplyDeleteKary, you sound like an excellent cook! Thanks for visiting and following my blog. It motivates me to post more often, which is good because over the past couple months I have been slacking off! I have enjoyed exploring your blog and will be following you as well. Good luck with the gnocchi (my favorite!)
