Echoes of Fragrant Voices by Jo Howe
When I first saw this artwork, I immediately had one thought and one thought only. Pasta. It’s probably because it’s my favorite food. And because I eat it several times a week. But seriously I can’t get it out of my mind when I see this piece.
My pasta routine usually includes sautéing farmer’s market veggies in garlic and olive oil, adding a little cream, tossing in some capellini, and topping with a heap of shaved parmesan. It’s simple, quick, and always delicious. But this piece got me thinking of other kinds of pasta I’m craving to make this summer. Corn in pasta? Yes please!

Sweet corn, chilies and burrata over fettucini • baked spaghetti and mozzarella • Spaghetti and Meatballs All’Amatriciana • Fettuccine with Walnuts, Zucchini Ribbons, and Pecorino Romano • Capellini Gratin • Fettuccine Carbonara with Fried Eggs

AH! Pasta… why didn’t I think of that? I’ve never seen the fettucini carbonara with a fried egg. Love!
I totally GET the pasta connection!! These look delicious.
Hahahaha, I thought about pasta initially too, too funny. Now, you’ve made me hungry and it’s not even close to noon.
Oh yum. Pasta is easily my favorite dish ever. I have to keep myself from eating it every meal!
What a great translation of the piece! The lines really are suggestive of pasta :) I think I just drooled on my keyboard…
omg, your opening sentence totally cracked me up. After you mention it, Pasta is all I see too! :)
I could never hang this anywhere, I’d be hungry constantly! Delicious recipes, I’m going nuts bookmarking!
I love this! They all look SO good! I’m such a pasta junkie :)
Yum – great inspo. I just had to pin that pasta carbonara with egg – looks delish
I don’t think I ever commented on your art to inspiration post this month. It’s so great! I love your interpretation of the piece! So unique (and really appetite inducing!).
