Superfluously Sabro

I love marc jacobs just as obsessively as the next fashion junkie does, but really marc, what's up with these shoes??? Speaking of obsessions, I am obsessed with pasta right now! It's friday night and i need a night to do nothing...but first I needed to eat. So I invented and made a delicious pasta with shrimp & artichokes. Recipe follows. Now I am going to watch a movie and then listen to Feist sing me to sleep... http://www.myspace.com/feist Pasta w\ Shrimp & Artichokes serves 1-2 (depending on how hungry you are!) 1\2 lb Thin Spaghetti 2 Tbls Olive Oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 shallot minced handfull of shrimp 5 marinated artichoke hearts 1\2 cup parm cheese grated 3 Tbls Milk 1 Tbls Creme Fraiche course ground pepper crushed red pepper flakes 2 Tbls Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped 1) Bring water to a boil and flavor with salt. Add spaghetti and boil until done. 2) Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat oil, garlic and shallots until tender. Add shrimp and cook until pink.

Last night I had such a nice night with my good friends Bonnie & Tabitha. What a blessing it is to have friends you can just be you when you are together. I am thankful for these moments and I hope there will be many more in the future. Spaghetti alla Carbonara 1 pound dry spaghetti 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, cubed or sliced into small strips 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 large eggs 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving Freshly ground black pepper 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1)Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce. 2)Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.")
