We are starting the third week of BM#58 with pasta as the main ingredient. I will be cooking some pasta that are kid-approved for my Kids Delight Event, guest hosted this month by Srividhya.
While I thought it will be a breeze making some pasta, it turned out to be the toughest, with me being on a hiatus from blog cooking. I still do not know if I will be able to make it. However the first in the series is something I cooked up some months ago, in fact for the Sep Mega BM, for the Condiments, where I made the Italian Pesto.
Finding the Italian Basil in Madras is a tough thing. The moment I landed with some, I was overjoyed and made this sauce much before sep. I also prepared some Spaghetti and absolutely loved it. I never realized I would actually love greens in a pasta dish.
I also realized that getting Parsley is much easier than Basil, so I might just stick to it.
Apart from all this need to cook some pasta for the blog, regular life has come to a standstill, with heavy rains in the city for the past week. The school closed for Deepawali for the kids and it's yet to reopen. Being at home for more than a week now, they are both happy and bored. Other than a day's off, I have been working. All in all, I haven't found time to cook anything.
While I was thinking I will be so prepared, real-life throws in so many unexpected stuff. Nothing is ready and I am hoping some miracle will happen to get all of those done.
Meanwhile, you do enjoy this pasta.

Pasta is a favorite with kids and adults. It's one of the few things I don't have to force my daughter to eat and she gobbles it up readily. Love your version.
