"This spicy pasta is greatly enhanced by its exotic colours - the bright
red rose petals and the deep purple (AM ?) poppy seeds. It is an easy dish
to make and is light; yet surprisingly filling. Serve it for lunch on a
warm summer's day with a crisp green salad.

Cook the pasta shells in plenty of boiling, salted water until al dente.
Drain, toss in a little sunflower oil and keep warm.

Put the remaining oil in a pan with the onion rings and sweat gently until
the onion is soft but not browned. Lift out the onion with a slotted spoon
and mix with the pasta shells.

Put the garlic into the oil in which the onions were cooked and fry,
stirring for 1 minute. Mix the cooked garlic into the pasta.

Toss the pasta in a warmed serving bowl or dish and sprinkle over the poppy
seeds and seasoning to taste. Just before serving, throw in the rose
petals.
