I’ve never been the biggest fan of pasta (cue screams of horror from right-thinking people everywhere.) Oh sure, I’ll eat it if Mario Batali is preparing it, but the standard home pasta dish of noodles and red sauce is a total snoozefest for me. I think it’s a texture thing – too much sameness, and it’s almost never my first choice of what to have for dinner.
I’ll make an exception though, for some good ravioli or tortellini, particularly if they’re sauced in something a bit saucier than tomato sauce from a jar, like this unusual pesto, and even more particularly if they’re tarted up with some crispy roasted potatoes to add a little flavor and texture variation. And if you think that potatoes and pasta together is an absolutely decadent carbfest then you would be correct.

this sounds soo good. the combination of potatoes and pasta has something very rural about it – which i think is very comforting. it is an oldfashioned german dish aswell, but the addition of mint pesto gives it a modern twist. yummy.
Loving that double carb hit!
