surfk, the pasta came out great . . . thanks so much for the recipe!  


Did you really make it?? Good for you. When I lived in Rome, I really got into ancient recipes. Some were definitely an acquired taste as the ancient Romans tended to love a lot of extremes in both sweet and savory. But other things did stand the test of time - rather like the framework of the figs & prosciutto recipe.

 

You can doctor it up anyway you like now that you have the basic recipe.

 

I ask because as I was writing it up, I got hungry for it. So that's what I'm having for dinner tonight. lol I had to go out and get some figs but I had this sudden craving for it again.

 

Q forums...its like a forums gone figs crazy! lol

Well this recipe was completely and totally out of my comfort level in terms of recipes and flavors but you were totally spot on when you said what a great flavor contrast between the proscuitto and the fig.  I even discovered I love pine nuts, they have been added to my Costco list!

 

And you lived in Rome?  How fabulous is that?  I always wanted to go to Italy . . . too bad I can't get that at Costco . . . Smiley Happy

 

Thanks again surfk!
