I love the combination. Pomegranite is a very popular fruit in Italy but I never see it eaten in any way except as a fruit. In fact they even serve it in some restaurants that I have gone to. Interesting to see it in a cake

Not only did you use two ingredients such as pomegranite and pasta in a dessert...you made it sound interesting enough for me to get curious about it.
Thanks for sharing something so unusual ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
