directions

  • Combine ingredients. Best with lots of black pepper, in my opinion.
  • Orange flavor will get stronger as it sits in the fridge. Zesting all the peel from the 1/2 orange will make the orange flavor rather strong, especially if you plan to refrigerate before serving.
  • If you don't have a zester, crosshatch an area of orange peel with light cuts from a sharp knife, then "shave" the pieces off. It's very easy and with heavy crosshatching yields results comparable to using a good zester.

  1. Now here's a great new way to serve pasta! Absolutely delicious! I did include the optional bell pepper, scallions & garlic powder, but did leave out the paprika! A very, very nice keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chef in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]

I love to cook. Taught myself to boil water at 17. I'm 22 now and still getting better. <br>I spent a long time cooking with a microwave and toaster oven, so my apartment kitchen feels like a palace to me now.
