TASTY FETTUCCINI A L’AUREL

TASTY FETTUCCINI A L'AUREL

Here is a sim­ple out of the pantry last minute but tastey meal.

Ingre­di­ents (for one brave taste bud)

  • Have some anchovies, toma­toes, rose­mary and gar­lic ready.
  • Olive oil, gruyere, parme­san and some kind of pasta. Fet­tucini or thick spaghet­tis are my favorite, tagli­atelles or whole wheat large pasta are good too.
  • Should I really spell how to make a batch of pasta?.… read the back of the package…and make them al dente. always.
