Trust me. You don’t even want to know how many titles I came up with for these little pots of joy. Instead of sharing all of the potential recipe titles with you, I will give you the chance to do something more productive with your 3 seconds.

Flooded street outside.

Like look at this picture and wonder what’s going on (that’s exactly what I was doing, too).

That, and talking on the phone with a Spanish speaking acquaintance, trying to explain that I would be late because there was “mucho agua”. Embarrassing.

Flash flood what? I had no idea what that meant until this morning, but I guess it means water in your garage, a lake in your backyard, and neighbors leaving their car doors wide open for days.

Pasta baked in ramekins and topped with cheese.

So I did what I needed to do in this situation, which involved a lot of watching, and then I made farmer’s market pasta. I’m always useful like that.

Pasta with everything fresh and wonderful that I got from the good ole Farmer’s Market. Basil, garlic, cheese, and fresh peas. ‘Tis the season!

    My husband made this for dinner last night & I just wanted to let you know that it was delicious. We didn’t have parmesan so he substituted in goat cheese, and I think it made it a little creamier, but still tasty. We’re thinking about adding in a little pancetta next time. So thank you! (We even have leftovers for lunch!)

    I’m gonna food process the peas to get them into my family ( I love them, and they don’t) then I will add roasted zuchini and red and yellow peppers before broiling (which they eat) to make this great dish even more plentiful with veggies for my family!! This will be one of our few meatless meals that we all like. No meat for us on ocassion only cuz I don’t like like it – pancetta and bacon are not really my thing. They like like meat so mostly I pick around it in most meals, but with this dish, since we eat veggie lasagna, we will all like it!!!!! Thanks!!!!! 🙂

    Dried pasta keeps its flavor for as long as two years whenever put away well in an airtight container. Dried egg pasta made won’t keep going as long however can even now be put away for a couple of months check the use by date no doubt.

    An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to publish more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people don’t discuss these issues.

    Wow, this looks great. I love that it requires such simple, fresh ingredients. Plus, it gives me a chance to use my underutilized ramekins! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this tonight for my family. Honestly not our favorite pasta dish. There was more garlic and cheese than needed and lacked a bit of Flavor. The garlic overpowered everything. I’d try it again with less garlic and cheese and more herbs, and maybe add some pancetta. Love you site and recipes. This one was just not for us.

    I’m going to food process the peas to get them into my family (I love them, and they don’t), then I’m going to add roasted zucchini and red and yellow peppers before broiling (which they eat) to make this delicious recipe even more veggie-packed for my family!! This is one of the few vegetarian dishes that everyone enjoys. On rare occasions, we don’t eat meat since I don’t like for it — pancetta and bacon aren’t really my thing. They prefer meat, therefore I try to avoid it in most dinners, however because we have vegetable lasagna, we will all like this dish!!!!!
