Last Sunday I was on the computer doing our family meal plan for the week, and my mom asked what I was up to. “I’m looking for a recipe for Thursday that’s not pasta.” I already had pasta on the menu for Monday, bread & cheese on Tuesday, and pizza scheduled for Wednesday.
And then I happened upon the recipe for Lemony Asparagus Pasta with Mushrooms and Herbed Ricotta at Food 52 which sounded awful good. I said screw it, and my mom helpfully pointed out that Italians eat pasta every day.
Done deal! I’ll make this again, with a bit more oil, and a lot more salt.
Well that looks delcious and amazing but why not toss the herbed ricotta in at the end and mux it all together? What is with this dollop nonsense? I feel like it would add something to the sauce and mix nicely together with everything else and add some extra body to the meal. Also, I could eat pasta every day and frequently do.
Well heck, I like me a good dollop now and then. But it does get all mixed in on your plate, ultimately, or not, depending on how you like it. It appeals to dollopers and mixers alike!
