Pasta = love; OMG a public entry!

[wholesomelymid]

Homework kind of bummed me out today, so instead of ranting on eljay about things that will be over and done with in three weeks, I will offer a silly pointless poll instead. About pasta: the world's other staple food. I have never met anyone who doesn't like pasta

You didn't actually include my favourite pastas - raviloi are little pasta pockets filled with meat or vegetables minced up, and the kind with mushrooms inside are just nyarm. I'm also a big fan of potato gnocci, but it might not technically be pasta.

I intentionally didn't include ravioli and tortellini because I knew it would be a landslide. ;-) They are beyond delicious, but I spent time today contemplating which plain pasta shapes people find most pleasing.

What's your favorite ravioli filling?

Probably mushroom and garlic. Mushrooms and garlic in any situation are my favourites ever.

Mmm. They are indeed staple foods in my house.

Have you tried frying spaghetti noodles in olive oil and garlic with mushrooms and fresh spinach? It is amazing.

I've seen Jamie Oliver do something similar, but everything is just dumped on top of the cooked pasta rather than frying the spaghetti itself. I've not actually tried it - I should do, when spinach is less expensive.
