Recycled Pasta

Those of you who read my Recylced Foods know that recycled at somerville kitchen simply means dressed up leftovers. 

A platter of cooked pasta from a previous dinner has been waiting in the fridge for an inspiration. Unfortunately, there is no pasta sauce jar in the pantry and no leftover pasta sauce.

The inspiration came from the vegetables' drawer.

Three quarters of a red pepper, 3 yellow tomatoes, snow peas. Add to that jardin dill and chives, and I have all I need to prepare a nice light pasta meal.

The vegetables were cooked slightly in a bit of butter and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. 

Given the colours, I wanted to trade mark this platter as African Pasta. Nineteen countries in Africa use those three colours in their flags. Those countries represent 73% of all countries using those three colours in their flags.

Okay, enough geography, this is a food blog. African Pasta was enjoyed with garlic bread extravaganza.
