Recently I had the chance to visit an ethnic supermarket and let's just say I went a little crazy. It was primarily catered to Hispanic customers so you can only imagine the abundance of things like tomatillos and varieties of adobo. But that wasn't the end of it: aisles and aisles of imported Italian cheeses and Asian cuts of seafood. I felt like a kid set loose in a ...ethnic supermarket? Well, you get the point, I was a very happy women leaving that store with all my treasures and goodies.One of those jewels was dozens of pasta varieties; shapes and sizes I'd never heard of including these cuties in the shape of tennis rackets and my favorite, spicy pasta.
I made a batch of it with some grilled chicken breasts and red-lobster-style biscuits, a great spin to an otherwise ordinary plate of pasta, alhamdulillah. So next time you see something that looks a little different, go ahead and try it.You never know when a spin-off may be better than the original!

ReplyDeletein the town centre (back home in south Italy) you can find some bags of pasta called 'Monnezza' which is slang and it means 'rubbish' LOL. The reason for that is the mix of different shapes of pasta and that it refers to the 'leftovers shapes'... hope u enjoyed it masha'Allah! Ah, was the spicy pasta 'very spicy'? I'm curious :)
from my home in Morocco, I miss my couscoussière to make the beautiful couscous. It is my loved pasta. This reccipe is very like my family recipe: http://www.ochef.com/r212.htm#Couscous with Chicken, Almonds, and Squash
