Name that dish!

by Blogie on 2 Aug 2008 {Gimmick}

a pasta dishMy friends and I had a sumptuous Italian meal last night, and I’d like to share one of the photos I took at that restaurant (one of my ultimate favorite dining places).

Can you guess the name of this pasta dish?

If you think you can name it, just leave a comment on this post. The first three people who can guess the name of this dish correctly (wrong spelling, wrong!) will each win a gift certificate for a Davao restaurant worth P500 from me. :)

(Can you believe this food shot was taken with just a camera phone? I used a Nokia N82 — a beautifully-crafted mobile phone, if you ask me!)

    I’ve seen that combination of pastas referred to as “la bandiera” on some menus, italian for “flag”.

    Looks to be a fabulous combo of pesto, alfredo and bolognese.

    Saluti!

    Yeah, the Italians sure love to put their flag on their food, don’t they? But no, that’s not the name of this dish. Try again! :)

  10. 05 Aug 2008 • 12:34 pm # 10) Blogie

    @jigs — Actually, it’s not spinach pasta. The green pasta is pesto. You got the carbonara right. The red pasta is penne puttanesca.

    Hint: the name has the number 3 in it. ;)
