I am glad to report that this has been one of my most<\/em> productive week ever — creative juices were free-flowing, I kid you not. There’s something about Valentine’s Day that is so motivating. I look upon it as a challenge to create delicious and unique recipes. So far, it has been a great menu:<\/p>\n

I’ll let you in on a secret — the Husband literally despises pasta. Nope, I am not making this up. He plain HATES it. He complains about how bland and tasteless pasta can be sometimes. Let’s face it, he’s Indian and needs spices, punch and robust flavors in everything.<\/p>\n

And I am equally stubborn, relentless and challenged to change his mind about pasta. It can be delicious, flavorful and full of potential. Just give pasta<\/del>\u00a0it<\/em>\u00a0another chance.<\/p>\n

Popped a bottle of pomegranate juice and that’s when an idea struck! A marriage between spaghetti and pomegranate juice would create a delicious palate of flavors — from sweet to tang of pomegranate juice to meaty & earthy deliciousness of portobellos — It’s simple, rustic and bursting with deep colors \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ve got to love the depth of color by infusing spaghetti with pomegranate juice — no artificiality food coloring<\/del>. Initially, I thought of cooking spaghetti in a rich red wine sauce but then, there’s sangria. Too much alcohol and we might not be able to enjoy desserts afterwards.<\/p>\n

I’d happily give up booze for desserts. Heh.<\/p>\n
