Curried Pasta With Cauliflower And Crisp Lettuce

:
:
Curried pasta is one of my favorite “quick-meals”, tasty food that can be prepared without much effort, time and money.
Here I have combined curry- pasta for the first time with cold, crisp lettuce and I was just blown away by the difference this addition has made to a familiar dish which I enjoyed so many times before.
The different temperature, texture and seasoning of the raw greens and the hot, spicy pasta made this a very new curried pasta experience and it will be showing up on my table often from here on……

However, 52 years in professional kitchens was enough 🙂

If I ever go back into the restaurant world, I hope you do not open a restaurant across the street. You are real competition!
My formula, made pretty food to get the gals to come with flavors that they wouldn’t do at home!
Even my JADED PALATE was craving that pasta salad! Another home run HANS!

Hi William,
since I live alone with my dog Bella, I let our cravings (she eats everything I eat) guide our meal plan.
It’s a perfect World where you can eat whatever you crave at the moment 🙂
(except caviar, foie gras, crab and lobster, which is not as often on the table as we wish – after all, when you´re retired, certain monetary restrictions are in place ) 🙂
Cheers !
