\"penne_scape_lovage\"<\/p>\n

This dish was even better than I had imagined it would be. The whole exceeded the parts, even though\u00a0all of the ingredients\u00a0were\u00a0already stars at the start, as far as I was concerned; when they got together, they totally outdid themselves.<\/p>\n

It was also a very easy meal to prepare, produced little\u00a0more heat in the kitchen than what was\u00a0needed to boil the water, and it came together very quickly.<\/p>\n

I came across\u00a0the basic recipe<\/a> while searching on line for something to do with garlic scapes and pasta (maybe I was too mentally lazy to go it alone, but I’m also always hoping for a surprise when I search the internet).\u00a0I substituted a great penne for the spaghetti specified, and, simply because I could, I added an herb, lovage to be precise.<\/p>\n

Note, and an admission: I neglected to add salt and pepper to the mix, somehow not noticing that both were mentioned in the recipe, and thinking it was purposeful, because of the amount of lemon included. I will add both\u00a0the next time I visit this super recipe, but I have to say,\u00a0neither of us missed\u00a0them their punch this\u00a0time.<\/p>\n
