Mardi Gras is just around the corner and as much as I love
sharing recipes for all food Cajun and Creole, today’s idea is a bit more "colorful." The colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. While I
won’t bore you with what the colors mean, I did want to represent them in a
dish.
All you need is 3 one pound boxes of your favorite pasta
and a box of food coloring. In one pot add the bottle of yellow, in the second
pot add the bottle of green and in the third add ¾ bottle of blue and the entire
bottle of red food coloring. Boil each pound of pasta separately in each pot of
water. Drain and combine. At that point add what you want! I mixed in a red wine
vinaigrette with olives, salami, ham, and provolone. Delicious and festive!
Let the good times roll and as always, Praise the Lard!
