Recipe Review

12th September 2011

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

A nice pasta option for those wanting a carbo boost.

This produced a creamy sauce with good cheese flavor (but not much saffron flavor or color). Bowtie pasta is called for, and the white sauce doesn't make for much contrast on the plate.

I compare this with a Saffron Butterflies recipe I prepared last winter from Savory Way, and its review is here. The other recipe asks you to prepare the pasta, and include saffron in the pasta dough, and then its served with a cheese sauce to which leeks, peas, and basil are added. While we didn't prepare the pasta, the other recipe, because it included vegetables, was much more appealing. Nevertheless, nothing wrong with this more plain version.
