Curry Linguine with peas


If what they say is true, that you can gauge the skill of the cook by the flavor of his simplest dishes, is it also true that you can gauge the skill of the blogger-cook by his simplest posts? A vegetarian friend wrote on my wall, "Stop eating meat," and this is my reply.

There is nothing to this dish. Because I currently occupy a vacuous home, and because my current mood prohibits social actions, old familiar portions need to be reduced to accommodate one diner, moi. I reduced my dough recipe by one third.

One egg, 2/3 cup of flour, 1/3 oz of cool water, a teaspoon of curry powder (more or less), one baby pinch of salt

Combine with elbow grease to produce the dish you see. Defrost the peas, drain them, sautee them in a lot of butter, and toss them with the noodles and black pepper. It is very simple.
