Thanks to everyone who contributed a delicious dish to this week’s Presto Pasta Nights. As expected there are fabulous ideas from all around the world, but this week Europe is under-represented.
Let’s start with the fun!

I got the first entry from Kitchenetta of Got No Milk. She fell in love with the recipe just of Tomato Basil Cream Pasta the moment she discovered it on another blog. This pasta dish offers fresh flavors and a comforting blend of healthy and simple ingredients, cashew gives the sauce a creamy base. |

Mrs Ergül from Mrs Ergül in the Kitchen over at http://mrsergulcooksmrsergulbakes.blogspot.com serves Beef Meatballs and Farfalle in Tomato Sauce (http://mrsergulcooksmrsergulbakes.blogspot.com/2008/09/beef-meatballs-and-farfalle-in-tomato.html now defunct). A classic combination which is always convincing.

| Jin Hooi from Smell & Taste are my memory whipped up something simple but delicious for dinner: Dried Orange Peel pork with noodles. Thoese dried orange peel pork noodles are very delicious and the aroma from the star anises goes well with the taste of dried orange peel. Her husband was totally blown with this dish, I totally understand that. |

Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Cooking Experiments serves Manicotti. Manicotti – the name for cannelloni in the US – are large hollow pasta tubes, approximately 3-4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Elizabeth stuffed her noodles with a delicious sounding cheese mix. |
| Becke from Columbus Foodie13.01.2019** shares two pasta recipes with us. Skillet Chicken Breasts Aglio e Olio and Linguine with Bacon and Onions13.01.2019*. Both were a great success and sound delicious, it’s up to you which one you prefer. |

Christine from Eat First, Diet Later over at http://www.eatfirstdietlater.blogspot.com serves a lazy spaghetti lunch.(http;//eatfirstdietlater.blogspot.com/2008/10/lazy-spaghetti-lunch.html now defunct) Although it’s not a “real” recipe it hits the kid’s taste. Can you expect more from a simple and easy to prepare dish? |
| The Stir-fried Asian-style Spicy Pasta**06.10.2019 is Elaine’s first submission to Presto Pasta Nights. She made A Series of Kitchen Experiments 07.06.2022 ** and this (almost) vegetarian spicy pasta dish has Japanese and Chinese influences. Elaine’s experience: With a cooler weather her taste buds were craving hot and spicier foods. |
 |
| Autumn is coming on in Germany and the colourful squashes and pumkins appear on farmer’s markets. I uses butternut squash to prepare the Squash, ricotta & sage pasta bake, of course the lasagne sheets were homemade. The aroma of sage goes well with the squash. |

I apologize to Susan from the Well-Sesaoned Cook. For any reason I didn’t include her delicious Kasha Varnishkes with Frizzled Onions in the round-up. I do make up my mistake now. This dish is worth to get out your old world tablecloth if you own any. Bow ties, buckwheat groats – kasha – and crispy fried onion are a perfect combination to please everyone.

Another apologize to Patsy. This was definitely not my week or my month. I have to take care for my mother who is suffering from dementia. Obviously I am also getting forgetful. I hope this was the last missing entry, if not, please drop me a line.

Great job hosting Presto Pasta Nights. Thanks so much do it, I know how much effort it takes. And I love your sage lasagna.
Great PPN for this week
This is a great edition of Presto Pasta Nights. I love how you mapped out all the contributors from around the world. Very impressive!
A tasty round-up, Ulrike, but it appears that my post for kasha varnishkes was not included. Thank you.
Wow!
Fantastic round up- I like the map you placed at the beginning. It always amazes me on the different and creative ideas that people have. Nicely done.

Great job Ulrike!
Don’t worry, we’ve all been absent minded about something before! Hope your mum and your family are coping well, my husband’s grandmother is also suffering from Dementia and we understand the difficulites of what you’re going through. God bless and we wish you well.
Cheers
Christine
