Pasta Bento with Lychee

I made this pasta dish last night for dinner, and the leftovers are perfect for bento. You'll also see something I rarely include in bento: fresh lychee fruits! I found them at Trader Joe's. Yum.

In this bento: pasta salad with red onion, tomato from The Patch, basil and armenian cucumber from Redwood Empire Farm, carrots, and shredded chicken. Also a hard boiled quail egg, a mini Gravenstein Apple from Redwood Empire Farm, edamame, and lychee fruit.

  1. I love lychees, and edamame. Pasta looks good too. Did you have a good summer?

  2. Hi Lyndsey! This was a tasty bento, I don't often find fresh lychee fruit. Summer has seemed pretty non existant for me. It never got really warm, and I spent a full month covering other people's vacations, and being sleep deprived for that month. But that's ok, harvest time is pretty awesome here.

  4. So fresh, and lychee are quite a bento treat! I'm really looking forward to seeing the Sonoma County harvest season reflected in your lovely bentos...
