Julie Heckman Poet Didactic

Simply Pasta

The strong, potent garlic, 
browning in olive oil, fragrance 
throughout the house. Pasta 
soon would follow. As we entered 
the dining room we could smell 
the sweet fragrance of fresh basil, 
an added invitation to sheer 
delight. 
Freshly chopped tomato and 
scallions fried, gave color to the
dish and last, the gray, delicate 
shrimp slowly turning pink. 
All then poured over a bed of 
penne pasta. Laughter filled the
room like a song. You could feel 
the simple elegance of dining 
with friends. A bottle of aged
Cabernet was poured... let the 
feast begin.

Andrea Dietrich October 4, 2015 at 1:32 PM I adore pasta and I like this poem very much. Being on high protein diet is a big bummer when it comes to pasta and potatoes, two favorites of mine I can rarely eat any more!! Julie Heckman October 11, 2015 at 6:45 AM I'm on High protein diet...but sometimes I splurge.. Ice cream and pasta are my weakness.
