Can't Cook; Knitting.

^
Cassette Tape Cases



...What?

My hobbies tend to run in cycles, and apparently I'm in a knitting phase. I've knit booties for every pregnant woman I know, then moved on to a limited run of 20 cassette cases for a future release of Matt's to be titled Stranded.

Now I'm done with that, and yet STILL in a knitting mood. Considering hitting ETSY up...

But, because this is a food blog, I'll mention this:

(Have I mentioned I need a better camera?)

In a medium hot skillet, toast some panko bread crumbs with some olive oil until medium brown, then toast some pumpkin seeds 'til they're plump and golden.

For the sauce:
1-2 tbs. Chili/Garlic/Lime Oil
1/2 jar Marinated Artichoke Hearts, with liquid
Capers
(CAPERS!!!!!!!) ... to taste, I suppose
a knob of butter

Add cooked pasta of choice, toss, and turn off the heat

A
dd grated Parmesan
Add toasted panko bread crumbs and toasted pumpkin seeds
Toss
Serve

HELL to the YEAH.

I won't brag or anything, but I did hear the words "best pasta I've ever had in my entire life" escape my hubby's lips. I don't agree, necessarily, but I'll take it. ;-)
