My Camino Guide: Albergue Recipes: Stale Pasta

 

  1. Take the ever-present, albergue kitchen open bag of stale pasta.
  2. Boil some.
  3. Having bought a bottle of cheap red wine, drink some.  Share with everyone.
  4. Use the half-bottle of tomato sauce or half-bottle of diced tomatoes or half-bottle of tomato anything left at the albergue.
  5. Add your pate negro, which is beef? liver? pate.
  6. Add any leftover olives from the fridge. They’ll be located next to the dried out mustard.
  7. Bonus Points! if your albergue has any spices.
  8. Add a LOT of wine to your sauce.
  9. Pour sauce over drained pasta.
  10. Scoop out the last of any soft, canned cheese you have leftover from lunchtime. Mine was camembert. Plop dollops on top.
  11. Eat with your very dry bread dunked in the sauce.
  12. Again – share with everyone. This is what makes stale pasta so delicious.
  13. Finish the wine. ¡Salud, peregrinos!
