Thai Soup and Lentil Pasta

Kashmera called to say should we be bringing back her favorite Thai Soup. We were making Lentil Pasta, so it became a soup and pasta dinner! We have made the lentil pasta many times. If you are reading this, you have seen it repeatedly described. I hope you have made it. It is wonderful. 

In the summer when tomatoes were at their best we made several batches of Oven Candied Summer Tomatoes from: The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. We then froze the tomatoes for use in the winter when delicious tomatoes are hard to come by.

We used the frozen tomatles for our main course: Lentil Pasta. The Italian Lentil Pasta from the restaurant Locanda Veneta in Los Angeles is one of the best. It is so rich, you would swear it was made with meat. You can get the recipe from our blog of: July 22, 2008. Click the date to get the recipes for both the pasta and the tomatoes.
