Winter Pasta

I seem to inherit a lot of CSA boxes. Friends as well as neighbors dont think about to put binds upon their subscriptions prior to leaving town, as well as sure enough, they end up in my kitchen. When we was a kid there was a residence that was always happy to take in stray animals, I've turn a homogeneous for CSA boxes. And we have to say, it's flattering great.

It's delicious, as well as only gets better as it sits around, fully dressed, waiting for people to notice it. Other favorites?
