I've been cutting down on carbs lately and looking for an excuse to have a big plate of spaghetti topped with sauce and grated parmesan cheese. Hello National Pasta Day!
I could spend the entire day just doing posts for pasta, it's such a versatile food, but I can't do that. Instead, here are several pasta recipes from various sites, including Epicurious, AllRecipes, RecipeZaar, Food Network, The Reluctant Gourmet and The National Pasta Association.
And don't forget the sauce! Here are several recipes from About.com and this one from MealsMatter.org for Southwestern Pasta Sauce.
To a large portion of the population, "carb" was nothing more than a nasty, four-letter word a few years ago. Like most diets and trends though, the shelf life on that has largely expired and people are once again venturing down the bread and pasta aisles of their local supermarkets. This is especially good news for lovers of Italian food, and even better news for someone like Giada De Laurentiis.
