2nd Man recently threw this meal together (I keep telling him he should try out for "Chopped" on Food Network, ha). He made some homemade pasta and decided to add some Spanish Smoked Paprika to the dough.
It made a gorgeous looking pasta...

Such a smokey flavor and definitely a beautiful color...
While the dough was 'resting', he made some meatballs, sautéed them in a skillet with peppers and tomatoes and onions...

...and just ladled it over the pasta, sprinkled some Parmesan shavings on top and we were ready to eat. It was so good and seemed like a great Autumn/Winter dish.
I would never have thought of adding paprika to homemade pasta. Just beautiful! Can you give us your pasta recipe?
ReplyDeleteIt was really good. And this Spanish smoked is such a good strong flavor, smoky and lovely. He usually just makes it up as he goes along but i'll pin him down to a recipe next time he does it. :-)
DeleteRoom for one more at your table???
ReplyDeleteALWAYS!!!
Delete1st Man and 2nd Man,
ReplyDeleteThis meal looks delicious!!! Were all coming to your place for dinner :P
I second that!
DeleteCome on down! I can't guarantee leftovers however....LOL!
Deletethis looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you (and coming from your amazing food, that's a very big thank you).
DeleteI love smoked paprika..never would have thought to make smoked paprika pasta! Have to remember this!
ReplyDeleteIt was a random thought he had and it turned out so good. I am not sure how much he used, it might be possible to overdo it I suppose, but it's fun to experiment.
DeleteOMG...That made me want to lick my monitor, haha. That looks absolutely delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHA! Thank you, I will pass along the compliment, he'll appreciate it.
Delete2nd Man’s meals are gorgeous! And he is so creative in his cooking. This looks reeaallly delicious!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! He does love to cook. Of course his job keeps him working long hours so if he had more time no telling what he could come up with, ha.
DeleteI think everyone has just about said it all. 2nd man is sure making some beautiful meals. He can come a throw a meal together for me anytime. I bet chili would be good on his smoked paprika pasta too.
ReplyDeleteAnother sweet comment, thank you! Oh my, chili and pasta like that, wow, that does sound good. I will pass that suggestion along!!
DeleteLooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was good for sure. :-)
DeleteMm, is it possible for cooking smells to slither down the lines of cyberspace and land on one's desk??
ReplyDeleteWell it did! :)
Actually, wouldn't that be cool? Thanks for the kind words.
