Eric, this is so creative and we imagine tasty? we are wondering where to get the Aji Mirasol Pod and
Smoked Cherry Pods? we will check the internet for this. now you have made us curious…some new tastes? best to you from Santa Barbara. s
i was wondering also …. i never heard of Aji Mirasol Pod and
Smoked Cherry Pods —-
wow!! what an idea. Love the flavour of saffron. I should defenitely try this. Thanks for sending it my way
Have a great weekend! enjoy the sun!!
You should change your blog to Mr. Pasta! Though I would miss those three gastronomic words that I so look forward to. Eric Rivera Cooks! Cuz I think he cooks. and then some! GREG
I’ve got the same questions as SStockwell! This is a pasta dish I could fall in love with.
I am right there with s.Stockwell. These two sound intriguing. I’ve never heard of either pod, but I’m always open to searching the shelves or the Web for ingredients.
You can find all the spices I use at worldspice.com They are the best and I use them exclusively. They do not pay me to say that.
Thanks for visiting my blog,
Eric
Mr. Pasta, I like how that sounds!
Eric
Thanks!
I’m happy you stopped by.
Eric
so creative! it sounds delicious!
Now see, I have every imaginable salt in my cellar, but I have never heard of Italien sea salt. I feel stupid. Off to worldspice.com (heehee, I neglected to tell you that haven’t heard of either of those pods)
Sounds like the kind of recipe I have to try out at least once!
Oh, I have more up my sleeve
I’m going to be making my own soon.
Muy exótico!
This look really interesting. Eager to know about the saffron infused pasta. So do post it soon.
I will be posting the infused pastas during the week. Stay tuned
Eric
I LOVE the side by side thumbnail pictures – great lead up to the pasta masterpiece for sure. Juiced sauce has so much flavor! Yum….
Thank you. I’ve been working on the photography after a few great words from Greg at Sippitysup.com.
Thanks for visiting,
Eric
This recipe is so unique & the pictures are awesome!
Wow! Eric, what an exotic combination of spices. I will check that website. Do you have any leftover?
No leftovers on this one. It’s too bad because I’m craving this right now.
Eric
Thank you
Eric
