My food shopping has been uneven lately, which means I'll find myself out of main ingredients in the middle of the week. This is usually when I'll make pasta, that shape-shifting, put-anything-on-me symbol of versatility.
Tonight I didn't try anything wacky (Hmm, all I have in the house is pickles, black beans, and brown sugar -- I'll put them on spaghetti!); I just made a simple tomato-basil sauce with gemelli pasta, using the basil that was left over from Margy's pizza. I did try to liven it up with some fresh chilies, and of course just two tiny Thai peppers made it three-alarm hot (I'll never learn). But Margy and I can take it.
