Fettucine Arcobaleno

Wednesday 20 August

This is something like what we had in Urbino.  There is no real recipe for "rainbow pasta," so far as we can see.  It's more the color of the Italian flag (no indigo blue or violet), and usually contains high summer's freshest vegetables. 

In this case, half an onion sliced, two garlic cloves ditto, a banana pepper from Ed's garden ditto, a garden zucchino in batons, two big red tomatoes, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and halved yellow pear tomatoes and fresh leaves of basil, each sautéed in olive oil in that order according to how long it would take to be tender, and served on fettucine.
