Leftover Pasta Dish

I'm off for a vacation for a couple of weeks on Saturday. I took a look in my fridges (yes plural) and thought - what am I thinking? I actually took somewhat of an inventory and then decided that everything goes with pasta. Today's throw together which is really a clean out the fridge pasta goes to the Presto Pasta roundup. This week's roundup is a really special one. It's #100 - can you even believe it. Ruth from Once Upon a Feast and the brains behind this long running event has truly marked a right of passage with 100 weeks of Presto Pasta Nights. Ruth is also this week's event host. Wouldn't it be something to see 100 entries for this one.

Remember, get your entries in to Ruth(at4everykitchen(dot)com before next Friday.

We were so fortunate to receive the Sisterhood Award from Val of More Than Burnt Toast , from Ivy of Kopiaste and Barb of Winos and Foodies . They say three times is a charm and I'm feeling quite charmed. Since this is a Sisterhood award, I'm wondering if I should be sending some "travelling pants" anywhere? Or...does that mean that our male bloggers can't be in the sisterhood? Thank you Val, Ivy and Barb.
