“You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.” ~ Agnes Varda

Despite good intentions to make pasta from scratch again, life got in the way, complete with a shoulder impingement, so no trying to crank a pasta maker handle for a while 😒 Home made pasta or not, this is a great pasta recipe, complete with he spice my Indian palette needs !

Pasta Arabiata
🍝Boil 6 quarts of water with 3 tbsp salt
Cook 1 lb pasta till al dente
Drain and save about 1/2 cup of the water
🍝Heat
4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat

1 heaped tsp crushed Garlic Stir till browned . 🍝Then add
