Pasta Primavera
''Pasta primavera'' () is an Italian-American dish that consists of pasta in a cream sauce and fresh vegetables, invented in the 1970s. Origins In 1975, New York restaurateur Sirio Maccioni flew to the Canadian summer home of Italian Baron Carlo Amato, Shangri-La Ranch on Roberts Island, Nova Scotia. Maccioni and his two top chefs began experimenting with game and fish, but eventually the baron and his guests wanted something different. Maccioni then mixed butter, cream and cheese, with vegetables and pasta and brought the recipe back to New York City, U.S. The fame of ''pasta primavera'' traces back to Maccioni's New York City restaurant Le Cirque, where it first appeared as an unlisted special, before it was made famous through a 1977 article in ''The New York Times'' by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey, which included a recipe for the dish. The invention of the dish is contested; Le Cirque co-owner Sirio Maccioni claimed that his wife Egidiana threw it together from ...

Vegetable Dishes
Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. This original meaning is still commonly used, and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds. An alternative definition is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural tradition; it may include savoury fruits such as tomatoes and courgettes, flowers such as broccoli, and seeds such as pulses, but exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits, flowers, nuts, and cereal grains. Originally, vegetables were collected from the wild by hunter-gatherers and entered cultivation in several parts of the world, probably during the period 10,000 BC to 7,000 BC, when a new agricultural way of life developed. At first, plants that grew locally were cultivated, but as time went on, trade brought common and exotic crops from elsewhere to add to domestic types. Nowadays, most ve ...

List Of Pasta Dishes
Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily. It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta dishes. Pasta is typically a noodle traditionally made from an unleavened dough of durum wheat flour mixed with water and formed into sheets and cut, or extruded into various shapes, then cooked and served in a number of dishes.

Edward Gioachino Giobbi (born July 18, 1926, in Waterbury, Connecticut) is an American artist and cookbook author. Giobbi's paintings and other renderings mostly appear in collections in Italy but also the U.S. His works have been shown in solo and group shows featuring a range from abstract impressionism to pop art.

These works depict a "dark sense of ambiguity and longing" contradicted by "buoyant" colors. "Mr. Giobbi's art then takes a different turn... more intellectual and formal", revealing the impact of cubism and formalism. Zimmer notes Giobbi's use of a protagonist, Linus, addressing issues of loss and abandonment.
