Italian Wedding Pasta

LV proclaimed this the best dish he'd ever eaten... that contained spinach.


The making of the dish was rather traumatic. The recipe says to make the meatballs, then start the pasta while the meatballs are baking in the oven. By the time they come out, the cream sauce on the pasta is done, and everything is ready to be mixed together at one time. That's what the recipe says. The recipe also says the prep time is 30 minutes. That means I would have 10 minutes to chop up all the ingredients and roll out at least 36 meatballs. The recipe is a little off.


Making pancakes is not my only problem with the new stove's range. Water doesn't boil. I started the water as soon as the meatballs went into the oven. The meatballs came out and went back in for two more minutes. When they came out a second time, the water still wasn't boiling. It was 8:30 and everything still needed to be baked all together for 20 minutes. I ended up throwing an oven mit across the kitchen in a "Why won't the water boil" tantrum.



In the end, the dish looked and tasted good. When I said it's too bad we don't bring lunches to work, LV said he would bring the wedding pasta. He really did like it that much.
