Wednesday's Food Tip: Indulge in Flavored Pastas!

If you love flavored pastas, here’s my favorite "food find" for the week – Pappardelle’s. I discovered this company at the City Market here in Kansas City. But you can order their products online if they aren’t sold at the Farmer’s Market in your town.

Pappardelle’s uses only premium ingredients, and no preservatives are added. And they offer a wide variety of interesting and unusual pasta flavors like Orange Szechuan Spice or Spinach Cracked Pepper. I’m hooked on their Tunisian Harrissa Fettuccine.

To serve the Tunisian Harrissa Fettuccine, I simply cook it in boiling water, drain it, drizzle olive oil over it, then grate fresh Paremesan cheese over the top. Sometimes I use a bread dipper made with oil and Sun Blessed Tomato Herb Dip Mix from the Three Angels Gourmet Co. instead of the plain olive oil. There’s no need for a too-spicy sauce that would compete with the delightful taste of this pasta.

If you don’t want to try Pappardelle’s pastas, look for other lines of flavored pastas in your favorite grocery store. Then, go ahead. Indulge!

EXTRA TIP: Serve flavored pastas with Angel Ale Bread or Rosemary Foccaccia (made with Angel Cloud White Bread Mix) from the Three Angels Gourmet Co.
