Penne con carciofi
We have a family dinner every Sunday, when we look forward to having our children, significant others and dogs coming for dinner. Our tradition is to have a pasta dish. This elegant and light penne dish is sure to please any pasta lover. Each ingredient comes together to create a blend that is delicious. The artichokes marinated in olive oil have a soft texture and great taste. By simmering the pistachio's in olive oil, it allows the nuts to release it's nutty flavor and gives the penne some crunch. Any pasta dish with peppers, olives, garlic and of course parmigiano is always fantastic.

That looks delicious. Can I come for dinner? I love pistachios. I bet they give off a great flavor.

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to lose my extra winter weight around about now but these plates are too tempting and the pistachio dash is a brilliant touch !
Hi Scintilla, Me too, I have been lucky this year, lost about ten pounds after this holiday bash, and working on more. One problem my wife's baking, makes it very hard! We MUST have our pastas, in smaller amounts! Thanks You
