  10       oz           Pasta shells -- 275 g
   2       tb           Sunflower oil
   1       ea           Onion -- sliced in thin rings
   2       ea           Garlic cloves -- crushed
   2       ts           Poppy seeds
                        Sea salt & black pepper
   1       t            Red rose petals -- heaped

  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.
