(Click for bigger pic)Today's vegetarian lunch: A pasta combination with a slice of focaccia bread on the side, from Fusilli's restaurant at the Park Central complex in Central Phoenix. A glass of Naked orange juice.
Fusilli's has a bunch of pre-prepared pasta dishes on offer for lunch. When given a choice of many items, all equally tempting, librans like me find it hard to decide on one. So, I ordered half-portions of two dishes: creamy mushroom & asparagus penne and Pasta Valducci. The former was made with oven-roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, marsala wine and parmesan cheese on penne pasta. The Pasta Valducci was also penne pasta with artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, ove-roasted tomatoes in a pink sauce. Both YUMMY!
Cost: $7.03 (includes $0.53 tax), about 309.32 Indian Rupees.
Vegetarian alert: Even if a pasta dish contains no eggs and no meat, eggs are often used in the making of the pasta noodles themselves. You can get pastas which are made with no eggs in the stores, but I doubt that most restaurants are very scrupulous about this (unless they are vegan restaurants). Of course, the usual warning about animal rennet in cheese applies.
Background: Vegetarian Lunch in America.
