When a friend called my mushroom powder an umami bomb I came up with an idea to use it when making pasta. This umami pasta will add an extra layer of flavour to the dish you are making.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Umami Pasta ♥
I really have zero patience when it comes to sitting around and doing nothing. But I also don’t like to start working on something if I might not get it done. And a few weeks ago that was the balancing act I was playing. I had to wait at my office for a delivery. But as there was no definitive arrival time I didn’t want to start on a blog post. My work was done and I was reluctant to begin something new as I wanted to leave the office as early as possible. I was running out of patience when Erica said she would pop in. Sadly it was not a long visit and my second round of waiting began. 20 minutes turned into double that and eventually the delivery was made. By then I was out of patience, and in a rush.

I was told by the person bringing the goods that the traffic was a nightmare. And that was the understatement of the century. I left the office only to get caught at the robot close to our office. After two changes I was the second car in the queue. But the car in front of me was being driven by an inconsiderate person. They refused to move halfway across the intersection. This meant that they were the only one who managed to turn before the robot turned red again. And boy, was I seeing red! The traffic was horrendous and I could not wait to just get home and make something. Anything to take my mind off what felt like a wasted day. I had fresh chicken livers and the idea to make an umami pasta using my mushroom powder came to mind.

My family love pasta, Tandy, so this will be a hit with them.
I make pasta very often 🙂
I’m obsessed with umami and I think I’d adore this pasta. Inconsiderate drivers are sadly very common here too! 🙁
It never used to be like that!
I LOVE THIS IDEA TANDY! IVE NEVER MADE PASTA BEFORE AND LOVE HOW LITTLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED!
It is super easy to make, and so rewarding 🙂
I bet this is really good with the mushroom powder!
And so easy to make 🙃
Making pasta is sooo on my “list.” A number of years ago a friend gave us some pasta they’d made with herb and it was amazing. So a good end to a tough day for you at least!
I am going to make a herb pasta soon 🙂
