ACINI DI PEPE SALAD



Acini di Pepe Salad image

Acini di pepe is the Italian word for peppercorns. Any tiny round-shaped pasta works well in this chilled fruit salad. Great in the summer, but my family asks for it every holiday. Every time I bring this to a party I get requests for the recipe.

ACINI DI PEPE PASTA WITH GARLIC AND OLIVES



Acini Di Pepe Pasta With Garlic and Olives image

Adapted from Gourmet 06/08. I have found korean red pepper flakes to be my new favorite substitution for standard crushed red pepper. Sans the seeds, they provide piquancy & spicy flavor without the heat - which can overpower some dishes. They are available in 1 lb, 2lb, & 10lb bags at most asian markets (used to make kim chi). If you use regular crushed red pepper in this dish, start with 1/4 to 1/4 teaspoon & work your way to desired taste.
