Rigatoni Primavera – Easy Pasta Dinner

August 8, 2012 By Jittery Cook 4 Comments

Supper last night was a 1-2-3 affair. In no time at all, you can take advantage of Emmy Cook’s advice, making basil oil as instructed, then follow Emmy’s advice to toss it on some pasta. The result will be fresh and interesting. Each bite will have a unique flavour due to the large size of  each ingredient. Ain’t cooking grand?

A squirrel is trapped in a manhole cover Sunday in Isernhagen, northern Germany. After they were called by neighbours, police managed to free the animal by using olive oil.
