Presto Pasta Nights #90: Round up

Phew! I was a little overwhelmed by the number of entries this week. There were plenty of pasta dishes submitted for this week's Presto Pasta Nights and I was very impressed by the variety and creativity. There were dishes made from scratch to deal with various food allergies, fusion dishes, as well as more traditional ones. Soups, salads, tomato-based, cream sauce, cheese sauce, stir fries... The possibilities are indeed endless. I hope you get some good ideas for the week ahead from the following bloggers, as well as discover some new food blogs.



The entries are listed in the order that they were received:


First we have pasta with a chilli twist from Sangeeth of Art of Cooking Indian Food - pasta with chilli sauce.


Judith from Think On It! made innovative use of a duck in a pasta with duck ragu.


To deal with her kid's egg allergy, Libby from The Allergic Kid made flax seed pasta from scratch, and submitted not one but two dishes: Flax Seed Noodles with Miso Glaze and Pumpkin Ravioli.


Eliza, who runs Notes From My Food Diary, made a Florentine Pasta Salad with Lemon. Sounds very refreshing.


Ruth from Once Upon A Feast (who started PPN) made Pasta Puttanesca with Shrimp for this week.


Kevin is one of the most prolific food blogger that I know and his entry combined two of my favourite food: Shrimp Carbonara.


Abigail from Mamatouille submitted her very first PPN entry, a Red Lentil, Spinach, and Ginger Penne.


Daphne from More Than Words gave us this unusual combination of a Spicy Mango Pasta Bake. I love mango so no complaints from me!


Kiichenetta from Got No Milk offers up an Arugula ravioli with marinara sauce, made from wonton wrappers!


Patsy from Family, Friends and Food cooked up their favourite comfort food, lagsana.


We have another wheat-free noodle dish from Ning of Heart and Hearth. The Stir-Fry Mung Bean Vermicelli with Beef looks really good and I love mung bean vermicelli (also called glass noodles or bean thread noodles).


Eugenia from Didally.com treats us with a colourful Hearty Pasta Salad.


Leemei Tan from My Cooking Hut cooked up a Tagliatelle with Spicy Sausage, Courgette, and Petit Pois.


From Marie, of Starchy, we have Shrimp and Bokchoy Noodles. Anything with prawns wins with me!


Katie from Thyme For Cooking submitted a dish of Pasta with Chevre, Ham and Peas in a skillet. It was a bit of challenge with a stove that had to be kindled and fired.


We have another fusion dish from Mary of One Perfect Bite: Spaghetti Marco Polo - A Chitalian Stir-Fry. Mmm... Prawns... \


Apu of Annarasa - Essence of Food sent in a vegetarian pasta dish of Warm Broccoli-Spinach Pesto Salad.


Marye from Baking Delights went with her love of cheese with this Southwestern Alfredo.


We have another entry of homemade pasta from Glenna, of A Fridge Full Of Food, who made Chicken & Spinach Cannelloni


Serena from Rock Cake also made Pumpkin Ravioli, so you now have two recipes to choose from.


I've been a long time reader of Cook Sister and am delighted to have an entry from Jeanne. She used a less common pasta shape to cook up a orecchiette in a creamy mushroom & pesto sauce.


Wiffy from Noobcook cooked up a macaroni soup that reminds me of my childhood comfort food. Check back on her blog for updates as she actually cooked macaroni for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all in one day!


From Mrs Ergul of Mrs Ergul in the Kitchen, we have Chicken Cacciatore Fusilli.


Vodka with pasta?? Don't diss it till you've tried it. Check out this recipe for Penne alla Vodka from Anna of Morsels & Musings.


And finally, here is my offering of Sausage Minestrone. A warm and hearty soup for cold autumnal days.


The next Presto Pasta Nights will be hosted by Daphne of More Than Words. Send your entries to daphnesu16(at) yahoo(dot)com and a cc to Ruth AT 4everykitchen DOT com, by the 27th of November.
