Methuselah’s Plate: Pasta Past Prime
I like to cook. I like to eat. This is a good combination.
As we once more prepared to do battle at the dinner table with a friendly couple we know, the boyfriend of the girlfriend reminded me that she was a vegetarian, and that our little planned meatfest would not cut it.
We muddled about and brought forth the failsafe: pasta. With two types of cheese no less: one hard, one soft; one cubed, one shredded.
As we opened the sauce we noted a funk eminating from within. “Perhaps this sauce is past its prime,” we wondered aloud. But it was all we had and into the pot it went.
I am happy to say that she is still alive and enjoyed the meal very much.
So that you too might enjoy the meal as it was intended, please click the below image in order to enjoy it in all it’s glory. Bon apetite!
