In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of wheat sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Plain wheat pasta boiled in salted water, from spaghetti to penne, before any sauce goes on. In Turkey it is a weeknight staple, often eaten with garlic yogurt, tomato sauce or grated cheese.

The sauce, butter and cheese decide most of the total, so log them separately and use the cooked weight here.

Snap it instead of weighing it
