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