Pilliver Facination

My favorite food has got to be pasta.  I don’t eat meat, and I avoid most dairy products.  Pasta is a great neutral food that goes with so many things.  Top it with broccoli and garlic sautéed in olive oil and it’s one thing.  Make a sauce with olives, garlic, and tomatoes (puttanesca), and it’s a whole other thing.  The different textures of pasta  also creates some great variety; I favor the finer pastas like angel hair. What goes best with pasta?  Some red wine. The kind of sauce determines what kind of wine, but I’m a big fan of merlots and zinfandels.
