“I’m usually hesitant to try new “non-traditional” pasta flavors, but this Turmeric Pinchetti had the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. This was my first time making this recipe, which I created specifically for the turmeric pasta! I seasoned salmon with lemon thyme salt and seared it on a pan with lemon juice until flaky, then I mixed in coconut curry sauce (korma sauce). I tossed the pasta with the salmon in the pan and topped it with sunflower seeds. It’s very quick & easy to make, yet truly unique.”
Tiny bow-tie pasta reminds me of childhood, like this Spinach Farfalletti from @aldentepastaco‘s new artisan Piccolo Pasta Shapes (“little pasta shapes”) made from whole ingredients (durum wheat seminola, eggs, and spinach powder). I made this one with smoked prosciutto and blue cheese cream, one of my favorite combinations EVER because they’re simple yet bold flavors.
