Not if I understand the longer version(6 pages of A4).

Everything goes in as you see them on the list. Minus packaging.

I don't know if to or . I will be attempting a few of these pasta recipes but this won't be one. I am with you @Shermie.

I've a "better" one!
Then I'll decide which to enter.

But when you done, does the pasta remain whole, or is it ground up & pulverized with the liquid that is in the smoothie?

Ground up & pulverised.

 

[GadgetGuy]

Ground up & pulverised.

That's what I thought. No, thanks!!

 

[classic33]

That's what I thought. No, thanks!!

It's good for you though. At least that's what they make out.

 

[GadgetGuy]

Nah! I'll pass. Thanks.
