Recipe Description:
a great recipe from Mark Bittman. Lavender can be found in the produce section of whole foods. I reccommend adding the lavender to taste because it can be powerful. If you can't get lavender you can substitute fresh rosemary
Ingredient List:
salt and pepper,
1 medium zuchini, trimmed,
1 medium to large carrot
1 red bell pepper,
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil,
2 or 3 crushed garlic cloves,
several lavender leaves of flowers (or rosemary),
1 lb cut pasta like penne or farfalle
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. bring water to a boil.
2. shred vegetables (except garlic).
3. put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add garlic. When it starts to brown, add the veggies. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add some lavender. Cook until barely softened.
4. Meanwhile cook pasta until barely tender.
5. Add pasta to th veggies and continuing to cook. When the pasta and vegetables are tender, adjust seasoning and serve. Parmesan sprinkled over the top can be a nice touch.
