Don't Get Mad, Get Even

Garden pests got you down? Are they eating EVERY SINGLE PUMPKIN PLANT YOU EVER PUT IN THE GROUND (yeah, I’m not bitter at all…)? Why not whip up a batch of Linguini con Insetto? It’s simple - cook pasta according to package instructions, toss in melted butter with capers and black pepper. Stir in a handful of insects freshly harvested from your garden and top with shredded parmesan.

Seriously, don’t do this. Those are shrinky dinks!

Instead of shrinky dinks bugs, have you tried using mixed bugs? A friend shared some of it at her dinner party (google edible mixed bugs to see a picture of the product, along with info on where to buy them).
It’ll add a delightful crunch to your pasta dish.

And yes, you’ll get even. They eat your pumpkin plants? You get to eat them. Fair’s fair.
