I don’t know about you….but it’s been kind of a boring week! One day it’s nice, the next day it looks like it could snow again. I decided we needed a little excitement as we moved into the weekend.
Invite friends over for a Pasta Party – all you need is some good wine, some fresh pasta and a few good recipes to give your guests a lovely evening!
Fresh pasta is much lighter and tender in texture than dried pasta. If you have the time – it makes a huge difference in your recipes. Click here for tips on making fresh pasta from Williams Sonoma. I think you should serve a buffet of 3-4 different pastas, so that people can taste a few. Serve up a light salad, some fresh bread – oh, and don’t forget to have fresh parmesan to grate on top of the pastas!
Here are some of my favorite pasta recipes – hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
- Cheese Ravioli with Cherry Tomato Sauce
- Pasta Bolognese
- Pasta with Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon
- Mushroom, Sausage and Roasted Red Pepper Lasagna
Buon Appetito! Bon Appetit! (Enjoy your Pasta Party!)
