Pasta with Plum Sauce

Yesterday I was half listening to a program on the radio and they mentioned plums and walnuts together and what a great combo that was. Since I had both, I decided to do something with them for dinner. First thought was salad, but as the day wore on decided to be more inventive. Since Norris was OOT and Abelle is at camp, I didn't have to worry about anyone liking it except me!

Collected some items from the fridge, cupboard and garden....

three small plums

a handful of walnuts

a green onion

a half a tomato

a half an avocado

some lime

and a bit of pasta

Sliced, diced and chopped as needed.

Put some water on for the pasta and sauteed the onion and walnuts in olive oil for a few minutes.

Added the plums and tomatoes and let it cook down a bit. The plums basically became sauce and left their tart skins in the mix.

Tossed the cooked pasta with the plum sauce and chopped avocado and gave it a squeeze of lime. Plated it and topped it with tabasco- and voila!

Very delish! But would your boys eat it...?
Not so sure!

(This serves one, since it was only me. My pasta was a mix of spinach ziti and whole wheat rotini- some other would be prettier, I'm sure)
