Fruit & Pasta? YES, So good!


Rosa Marina Fruit Salad
This easy & delicious recipe is from my grandmother (Nanny). She owned a very popular restaurant for many years and used to make everything from scratch.
Try this one for your next potluck or family gathering. It makes a lot, but is always devoured!
* This needs several hours to chill, so make it a day ahead, or several hours in advance.

1 lb. #31 Rosa Marina pasta (or other small rice shaped pasta, like Orzo)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2, 16 oz. cans pineapple chunks
1 can mandarin oranges
1, 10 oz. Cool Whip

Cook pasta according to directions on box & cool.
Drain juice from fruit
In a saucepan, combine juice with sugar, eggs, flour and salt. Cook until thick. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine pasta and juice mixture. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Just before serving, fold in fruit & cool whip. Mmm, so good!
