MoSup gave me a subscription to Cuisine at Home
for Christmas, and I just recently began paying attention to it (I'm
spoiled). Wow, what a great resource. Last night I made BLT Pasta.
At first bite we both had the same comment - "It's Good." Then we
started saying, "This is really good." By the time we'd finished
we were saying "This is the best MFS I've ever had!", or to that effect
in MoSup's case. I did make a few adjustments to the recipe.
- I used 8 slices of bacon cut into 1½ inch strips
- Didn't have leeks, so used onion
- Didn't have grape tomatoes, so subbed one large tomato diced big
- Didn't have fresh spinach, so added some frozen and heated during the deglazing step.
Next time we make it I'll likely skip the bread crumbs in lieu of
a little grated Parmesan cheese. The red pepper flakes are
crucial though.
