YOUR MISSION COMPLETED: USE YOUR NOODLE Pasta party!

As the weather gets colder, it makes sense that our missions have been calling for more savoury fare such as stews, sauces and squashes. But this is also the season to indulge the sweet tooth. Before we take a break for the holidays, we want to see what foods you’re sweet on. Whether it’s Christmas-themed gingerbread houses and candy canes or a well-deserved dessert or adding a signature sugary touch to your treats, let’s end this Gastro-year on a sweet note.
MISSION INSPIRATION Christine Cowan @thetastefulkitchen Brown rice vermicelli and zucchini noodle box
David Farrell First-time Gastroposter Noodles are best baked with lots of gooey cheese
YOUR NEXT MISSION: SOMETHING SWEET
“Gingerbread waffles with maple cinnamon drizzle are the perfect holiday breakfast,” say Gastroposters Brianne Beaudoin and Anguel Dimov. “Waffles that taste like gingerbread cookies, what more could you ask for?” Think you guys have covered all the bases. “Oh right, they’re also vegan and gluten free.” OK, now there’s officially nothing more we could ask for! Christina Nikiforuk @niktravelgirl Mushroom ravioli with egg centre piece
Julia Zhou @heartfood_yvr Bulgogi ramen. This was really good
Mariz Reroma @marizmerize Noodles on top of crème brûlée? Why not, right?
GASTROPOST IT
Whatever you eat in order to complete the mission, the important part is sharing it with the Gastropost community. There are several ways to do that:
Suzanne Bailuk @shoezannie Ricotta gnocchi: fluffy little pillows of deliciousness
Deborah Sy @summersy Pork chop noodle soup from Long’s Noodle House
