Pasta. It might have been the first food you ever tried. Yet, there are so many delectable possibilities. Once in a great while, I try a pasta recipe that sinks deep into my memory. Something quite different from the norm. It was one day when I was trying new cuisines that I came upon a few of these recipes. The recipe was from Turkey, but I learned this type of pasta making was common throughout the Mediterranean region, and even in Eastern Europe. Clearly, this was a trend I had missed in the United States somehow! Below, is a close approximation to the first time I tried this dish.
