Leprechauns always leave us green spaghetti (spinach linguine) and we have this pasta dish every St. Patrick’s Day. This year we are going to have it with carrots and bread, then it will look like the Irish flag.

I’ve blogged about this recipe, but I messed it up that night. I’ve made this several times since then and just loved these fries.

Extended Preparation

Local Food: Rutabaga, Carrots

I put this under extended preparation because it takes more than an hour, but it is a one pot meal that needs about 45 minutes to cook – so you can put it on the stove and leave it alone while it cooks.
