I know there are a lot of foodies out there who love spicy foods. I am one of the kind who dives into spicy Indian dishes. Friday being the time for all of us to settle down our nerves and relax. And you know I am also kind of settling down. But i need a dashing dinner to go on for Friday, and that is how I landed in this Veggie pasta in roux Now there goes in this big bowl:
- Pasta to form the smooth bite
- Veggies to give a crunch bite
- Wheat flour – Milk – butter combo for the creamy luscious sauce
When i started to plan a date dinner meal, i had a color scheme which stuck in my mind.
Yep. You heard it right. Iam sort of experimenting with colors these days and that popped in my mind for preparing something which appeals my color craving. Slightly getting hyper over my color experiments, i landed up with Pure black, red shades, Orange shades and Pure white. India and indian spices is always hot with bright red colors to yellow to orange to brown
Lost colors and my hungry tummy calling out for an Italian pasta, Watching food show on fox tv whenever my eyes are open always calls for a hungry tummy and a never ending craving for food.
