Pasta in Spinach and Béchamel Sauce Recipe:

Penne rigate in a thick spinach and white sauce topped with cherry tomatoes, healthy & delicious!!

The Sunday brunch took another leap to become a delicious balance of health and taste in one today yesterday (had all intentions of posting it yesterday itself, but alas!). This spinach and béchamel sauce based Penne rigate was absolutely delicious, and that fancy ‘béchamel’ term is only for tashan (style) for it is nothing but what we know as the white sauce. And if I’d ever be serving it in my fancy restaurant (in my dreams eh!) I’d like to call it Penne Spinachio in béchamel sauce, how imposing.

Whole-wheat Tomato Pasta with Fresh Cherry Tomatoes

Colour me red is what came to my mind after I finished off plating up this recipe to click my final pictures for the blog. Well now if it sounds like any indication to romance then I am afraid you’re up for some disappointment, as the phrase is merely a reflection of how my plate looked, an artist’s palette full of swathes of different shades of red ran through my eyes.

Wait a minute, seems I almost forgot to talk about my recipe, which as a matter of fact was too simple to deserve a comparison of a magnitude as that of an artist’s work. But “mind” you know simply goes haywire at times, at least mine does more often than I would want it to. And now, like real now, simply seems to be one of those times, I am thinking about too many things all at the same time. See, I am again not talking about my recipe; guess the best I can do today is only objectively describe it. So it was the healthy Whole-wheat tomato flavored Fusilli I got from FabIndia , enhanced its tomato flavours by adding a whole lot of fresh juicy cherry tomatoes along with garlic, some onion rings, a good dash of olive oil , hot green chilli and black olives. All these ingredients went through toss toss in quick succession and I had a delicious bowl full of pasta to dig in. Trust I’ve already expressed my love for eating meals out of bowl, wonder if there are any of you who share my love for eating out of bowls over plates; it’s so much more homelier.
