This is what spaghetti looks like with vegetables from the garden sans wiggling creatures:
It’s lucky no one saw me cleaning off the vegetables. They would then have known how neurotic I am when it comes to bugs. Each pea pod & tomato was individually washed and carefully inspected. Every leaf of basil & oregano was cleaned and examined. The broccoli was soaked in salt water, which I was told, would cause any critters to go running. After the soaking, not once but twice, I cut it up, looking at every single little piece under a microscope. As I sautéed the garlic and vegetables in olive oil, I was constantly on watch to make sure nothing moved.
I think I’ve made pizza complete with homemade sauce & dough faster than that meal took.
