Onion, Carrot + Wine Reduction Pasta

 

It's Palm Sunday today! 'Tis the season when Catholics (and other Christian congregations] reflect more about their faith. And one of the ways it is expressed is by fasting; specifically refraining from meat dishes.

Restos capitalize on this by introducing 'Lent-friendly' options, but who are we kidding, really, when the food still taste sinfully good that the idea of sacrifice is lost in every bite.

Anyway, why not take advantage of this long break (well, at least if you are in the Philippines) to ponder on that, and exercise your creative culinary skills by cooking your very own meatless meal. Try this easy  recipe for starters: Onion Carrot Winer Reduction Pasta
