First Friday in March... Za'atar Pasta here we come!!!

With perfect Palm Springs March weather (sans the annoying winds), I think it's time to revisit a simple and tasty pasta using Za'atar as the flavor profile - I first did this pasta back in November...

Friday Dinner Stuff

Plus it's Friday night and I can't get to elaborate after meeting friends for a cocktail!!!

Here's the list of ingredients:

• Pasta
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 10 mini bells - julienne cut
• 4 garlic cloves - minced
• 1/4 cup white wine
• Za'atar (a Middle Eastern spice comprised of sesame seeds, sumac, and dried thyme)
• 1/4 cup capers
• Parsley - 1/4 cup minced
• Asiago - 1/2 cup shredded
• Salt

Of course, I can't cook without my wine! A Syrah works well with this because... Well, because I'm in the mood for it :-)...

Ok, so this is what I did last time...

While boiling the pasta al dente, I heated some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauteed the garlic and bells, after a couple minutes I added about 1/4 white wine, and 2 tablespoons of Za'atar. I allowed the wine to reduce, added the capers and turned the heat to low. Once the pasta was ready, I drained it and tossed it with the sauce, then I added the fresh parsley and asiago, then did a final seasoning adjustment with salt! Delish and OH SO FAST and EASY!!!

And this is what I hope will end up in the bowl...

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
