Zucchini Pesto Pasta

20220803 #breakfastdiary 514, 25°C/showers, 10min/exercise Boil egg-based tagliolini in boiling water—the noodles are thin, so they cook fast. Heat olive oil in a pan, season with salt and plenty of pepper, and sauté onion and the prettiest zucchini in the world. Add the boiled tagliolini, then finish with pesto and a splash of pasta water. #zucchinipestopasta Amicus ad aras (digging up an old memory from school 👈emphasis added): amicus means friend, ad means "to" or "until," and aras is the plural accusative of ara, meaning altar. (Friends even unto the altar, as in, until death as a sacrifice.) Roughly, it means friendship forever. On the crowded subway yesterday morning, the person standing in front of me had a tattoo on their forearm that read "amicus ad adras," and I found myself thinking—well, that typo can't exactly be erased now. If they'd ever wanted to erase it, they wouldn't have gotten the tattoo in the first place; what matters is the vow to be eternal, a typo hardly matters. (There's no such word as "adras," but) I'll take the liberty of translating it as "friendship, foreveg" anyway. A tribute to the "rnasterpiece" typo, Korean internet slang (띵작) for "masterpiece" (명작)
