Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Bravo to your daughter for winning the competition with a delicious veggie recipe; that is so cool! This recipe does sound yummy. I will have to try it out when I can get fresh dill from the farmer's market. You must be a proud mama! ~ PT ~ " The man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures and acknowledging unity with the universe of things was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks PT. I'm happy they participated and had such positive responses from the judges and others. Every promotion and taste of delicious healthy vegetarian prepared foods, are like seeds being planted towards helping change people food choices isn't it. I'm proud of them both. Don't wait for fresh dill. We used dried dill weed and it was delicious in this recipe. I'm sure fresh would also be wonderful though. I'll have to get a dill plant for my herb pots on my patio.. Hopefully our last frost was last night. It was a late frost for us. We are usually safe to plant by the end of March.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi Linda, You are very welcome. I'll have to try it with the sun dried tomatoes. Did you use the ones that we dry packed or the ones that are put in oil? I'm glad you tried it and enjoyed it as much as we did.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Judy, I bought the sun-dried tomatoes in bulk and added my own oil to soften, then chopped them up. It was easier and cheaper. Because of adding the oil to the dried tomatoes, I didn't add anymore to the mix. Linda - wwjd Sunday, April 20, 2008 8:10 PM Re: Re: Pasta with Dill and Tomatoes Hi Linda, You are very welcome.
