REC: Angel Hair Pesto Primavera - QUERY

[Guest guest]

Hi again -

 

sorry to be late about getting to you about this recipe, but I've had the

@#@#@%#@##@ electricians in for two days and today is the first time since

weekend I've had any real time to play catch-up! ;=) I'm trying to deal with the

recipes, as you know.

 

Okay, this recipe you posted on Monday says at the top that it serves 8. But at

the bottom you say to place the past on *four* individual serving plates. Was

that just an error, or have you mixed up two recipes here???? (It happens - I

made the most interesting fruit and nut loaf once - but you don't want to hear

that LOL)

 

The cream, oil and cheese ingredients look as if they are meant for 8 (thin!)

people, not 4. Also you say 32 oz pasta - that'd be 4 oz each for 8 (hungry!)

persons?

 

I think I'd be safe to change your 'four' plates to 'eight' but wanted to check

;=)

 

Get back to me about this? Thanks a bunch!

 

Best love,

 

Pat ;=)

It was a typo on my part....Should be 8 servings all around.

 

This dish is not one I eat on a regular basis, but rather one I serve when I

have folks over for dinner and a movie...lol

I was pretty sure it was ;=) But hey, ya never know -

it could have been a mix-up of 2 recipes. As I say,

I've done it myself and the only way it was spotted

was because of the diff in servings LOL

It'd be a big hit, I'm sure! Love pasta primavera! And

it has the advantage of being cooked very very quickly

so that you can spend more time with your guests!

Great idea.

 

Best love,
