Jazz up your summer pasta entrees with this unbelievably beautiful pasta by Pastificio Pozzo del Re. The rainbow colors will simply astound you. Each color is actually indicative of different all natural ingredients like spinach, tumeric, red beet, tomato, carrot and red peppers. How clever! The pasta is also very flavorful.

La Table de Nana, one of Alisa’s favorite bloggers, prepares this pasta with shrimp just perfectly. The below description is taken directly from her blog:

We baked the shrimp in the oven while I was cooking the pasta. In a saucepan, I warmed some EVOO and butter..added fresh garlic,red chili peppers from Italy….some lemon juice and white wine.. ..Reduced it all .. then quickly added the cooked shrimp..loads of chopped fresh parsley from my little herb pots..and lots of grated lemon zest..tossed w/ the pasta.

The scrumptiously delicious looking pasta below is the result:

Mombach’s Broto Aeroponic Plant Pot
Love cute plants but too lazy to water and re-pot? If this is the case, Gabriela Mombach’s Broto Aeroponic Plant Pot is perfect for you. Although, it’s just a concept right now, Mombach uses the Aerogarden technology so that you don’t have to make sure the lighting is perfect. No more watering plants, no more dealing with mud, and no more worries about not being able to grow herbs in the winter. This will definitely look cute in my kitchen.
