Pasta is more or less a forbidden food here since my husband found out a few years ago that he has diabetes.  I love pasta and bread more than anything, except cheese, and miss eating it.

I read that it&#8217;s native to moist, boggy places in New Zealand and Tasmania.  Apparently, it doesn&#8217;t do well on the stove, despite all the steam from the boiling pasta.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had my favorite for dinner on Sunday night &#8211; Spaghetti!
