Much ado peppadew pasta
Pasta and macaroni
Italian cuisine
I've been a fan of peppadews (those little, round, red peppers from South Africa) for quite some time and often add them to my dishes. They really seem to add a savory depth of flavor that gives the dish an extra special "umph" and satisfies my "umami tooth", if you will. Peppadews are mildly sweet, mildly hot and come in a briny liquid giving them a mildly salty quality. I find the best ones are in the olive bar at my local market. Recently, I made muffins from a recipe I found in Bon Appetit magazine featuring peppadews, and with the left over ingredients I decided to make a pasta dish. It was heavenly. Warm cherry tomatoes bursting with flavor, fresh spinach and hearty whole-wheat pasta rounded out this dish. Topping it with Greek feta cheese took this dish from simple to sublime.
