Pasta: a Fork of Heaven

PASTA: A FORK OF HEAVEN In a pot of bubbling boiling water, I drop hard nine inches long bundle of farfelles.. Minutes passed,between my fingertips, I pressed one strand, al- dente! In a platter glittering white, I form a fist of fresh-cooked pasta noodles, pouring a hot scoop of white creamy silky sauce made from: parmesan and pecorino melted, blended in a saucepan, flavored more with a savory stock, tossed of shallots, saffron and lean meat. The sauce must be rich enough coating all the threads of farfelles... Garnishing it with grated cheese, teaspoonful crunchy diced bacon, a pinch of chopped flat leaf parsley... Voila! Who could refuse this tasty fork of heaven? __________________________________________________ ***farfelle - a type of pasta: thick and wide noodles al -dente - a pasta noodle cooked all the way through except in the center being slightly undone CONTEST name: DIDACTIC FOOD ~~3rd place~~ 1:54pm, September 09, 2015

I love this. Maybe I should do like you and just describe how I make my favorite pasta. I keep thinking how to do didactic. It's making me crazy. Hope the judge likes this one as much as I do!!
