Urgent Need December Show Pasta Suggestion

[pampchef.angel]

I have a host who wants to do pasta and chocolate for her recipes at her December show. I don't know how to incorporate pasta into a holiday show! She's expecting a large crowd...any suggestions are welcomed!

I would do the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco... it feeds a lot, it's really good, makes a good demo and incorporates the DCB in the microwave! Can't get better than that. Don't worry about making the pasta festive, make the dessert festive. Maybe do something ahead of time or do a skillet cake, show the best of both worlds! or do some cookies with the new cookie press... or a trifle. The festive desserts are endless, but I'd go with the al Fresco for the pasta.

The new Zesty Ravioli would be great! It looks great and festive in the skillet. The spinach leaves provide the green and when you garnish with grape tomatoes that provides the red.

Oh yeah, that's good! I haven't tried that one, that's why I always forget about it, guess I'd better try it out!

you can add green and red peppers to the penne al fresco also, cilantro, etc.

It has cherry tomatoes, so that would take care of the red and fresh basil would be green!

That one was so hit and miss to customers that I don't do it.

I've tried the Zesty Ravioli skillet on a few crowds and have gotten excellent feedback on it!
