The other member of the usually household of two considers any meal without potatoes in some form to be uncivilized, hence the original attraction of the recipe. There aren't a lot of potatoes,and I think I reduce the amount of pasta to achieve an appropriate balance between sauce and stodge. As to type of potato, I've made it with pink eyes, bismarks, dutch creams, in fact whatever comes to hand. It varies, of course, but rarely fails to please.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132044454683106362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-6176464096960455362013-01-23T15:08:49.610+11:002013-01-23T15:08:49.610+11:00hello, fellow household of one (at the moment)! we...hello, fellow household of one (at the moment)! welcome to dig in.<br />i've seen recipes for pesto-beans-potato, and never tried it, thinking the potato with pasta was carb overload. i have nothing against carbs, but i wouldn't think to have potatos with pasta. so maybe i shall give it a try now, as i have beans in my garden and i'm making another batch of pesto on the weekend. i wonder if the type of potato makes a difference? thanks for the tip off. <br />and i firmly believe in gifts to self - and not just at christmas time.e / dig in hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448702578845994922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-91519306672084143002013-01-23T14:14:48.361+11:002013-01-23T14:14:48.361+11:00"Nigelissima" was on my christmas presen..."Nigelissima" was on my christmas present list(to me, from me). I love her books. I made this recipe last week (more or less according to the instructions) and it was delicious. A household of one at the moment, so I had leftovers for lunch the next day (creating envy in the communal kitchen at work).<br /><br />There is another excellent veggie pasta recipe in "Kitchen" - involving green beans, pesto and potatoes. Sounds odd, but tastes fantastic, with the potatoes contributing to a rather unctuous sauce for the pasta. Depending on what is happening in the garden, I have sometimes substituted a bunch of silver beet for the beans, and that works wonderfully too.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132044454683106362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-39237126115848798542013-01-21T10:06:24.490+11:002013-01-21T10:06:24.490+11:00sue, as long as you're wearign some kind of fo...sue, as long as you're wearign some kind of footwear in the kitchen...<br />at this time of the year, we need all the zuke recipes we can get! e / dig in hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448702578845994922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-50526175830424661932013-01-19T07:04:34.796+11:002013-01-19T07:04:34.796+11:00Does this recipe work if the cook's wearing ja...Does this recipe work if the cook's wearing jandals?
