The Martha Stewart inspired one pot pasta dish from last week turned out rather good! I was really worried about the liquid being absorbed and ending up with pasta soup. Alas, I let it simmer for a little bit longer than the directions called for and it was perfect. Playing around with ingredients could be easy and fun - adding spinach, a touch of cream, cooked chicken or sausage... Now I'm getting hungry. I shall distract myself with pictures from the weekend,
