Summer in a Bowl - Feast Your Eyes

Pasta with zucchini, goat cheese and lemon. Photo: sassyradish, Flickr.
A pasta dinner is what you make of it. A heavy-handed helping layered with too much sauce and cheese can leave a gal feeling lethargic. But when prepared with colorful, seasonal ingredients like zucchini, goat cheese and lemon, it makes for a light, savory summer supper.

Adapted from a recipe in the June issue of Bon Appetit, this beautiful bowlful of fresh fettuccine was tossed with a sauce made of green zucchini, yellow summer squash, olive oil, shallots, garlic, goat cheese, lemon and herbes de Provence. It's topped with what appears to be the only thing that could make it more summery than it already is: chiffonade of basil.

As one commenter on the photographer's Flickr page said, "It's possible that you just captured summer in a bowl." Agreed!

Oodles of Noodles - Feast Your Eyes

fettuccine and roasted tomato sauce
This eye-popping bowl of fettuccine with roasted tomato sauce is a tantalizing reminder that tomato season is nearly upon us. Brought into glorious (and most likely brief) existence by Gwendolyn at Patent and the Pantry, it's a vibrant ode to the complicated chemistry that takes place between simple ingredients, rendering them extraordinary. It's also a succinct explanation of why carbophobia tends to end in bankruptcy, both moral and financial. Above all, it's a comforting reminder that sometimes, happiness really can be found at the business end of a pasta machine.

Food Review: Fiber Gourmet Light Pasta


When I was first contacted by FiberGourmet to try their fettuccine, I have to admit I wasn't really expecting anything all that different - after all, it is just pasta, right? Well, yes and no. The product itself is a lower-calorie version of standard pasta which, as I understand it, uses a reduced amount of flour that is supplemented with dietary fiber. In fact, there are only three ingredients in the pasta - durum semolina flour, modified wheat starch, and vital wheat gluten - with the addition of just tomato paste or spinach powder in the flavored varieties.

Since I received a sample package that included each of the three types - original, tomato, and spinach fettuccine - I wanted to try the pasta served several different ways to see what worked best, so I gathered up a group of people, sauces and accompaniments, and got to work. (Continued after the jump.)
