Everything Pasta by MissyB3(f): 6:15pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Welcome, fans of pasta and those who are indifferent to it. Pasta is one of my specialities in the kitchen and I'd like to exchange recipes with and get new recipes from those who are also into pasta, and give recipes to those willing to try new recipes. In here, we'll be dealing with all kinds of pasta - Spaghetti, penne, fusilli, Ravioli, Gnocchi, Tagliatelle etc- and various soups/sauces that can go with [each kind of] pasta. We'll also be looking at how to make different kinds of pasta. Let's get started! Are you hungry, but have nothing but pasta and tomatoes at home, or just too lazy to prepare anything 'complicated'? Well, here's what to add and how to add 'em in order to have a delicious plate of pasta ready in just few minutes. Spaghetti with tomatoes and basil Tomato sauce and basil Heat oil in a pan/pot and sauté garlic or sliced onion until soft, but not browned. Add 2-3 already washed basil leaves and after about 30-40 seconds, Add tomato sauce or sliced tomatoes. Add maggi and allow to cook for 10 minutes While that is going on, prepare your spaghetti How to properly prepare spaghetti Bring water to a rolling boil, add salt [Note: Adding salt before water boils may gradually destroy your pot so it's advisable to add salt when water begins to boil] and then add your spaghetti and allow to cook for about 6-7 minutes. Taste to make sure it's al dente [ not too soft/done, not raw either], turn off gas, drain spaghetti in a colander and then either add spaghetti to the pot of tomato sauce and mix or serve spaghetti in a plate and then put the sauce on top. Serve hot. You could add cheese. Enjoy! [img]http://giamba2016.ilcannocchiale.it/mediamanager/sys.user/165926/spaghetti%20al%20pomodoro.jpg[/img] |

You want a Nigerianized pasta? Here you go. Spaghetti with tomatoes and shrimps Heat oil in a pot and sauté sliced/chopped onions- watch for softness Defrost [if frozen] your shrimps and then add. You may also add basil if you wish, for the aroma. allow to fry for about 2 minutes Now, add your already sliced tomatoes, pepper and maggi Reduce heat to medium and allow to cook for about 10 minutes before adding your already cooked spaghetti. Mix thoroughly and serve. Note : Instead of Shrimps, you could use bacon. It goes well too. Enjoy! 2 Likes |

Immediately you put spaghetti into boiling water, Heat little quantity of oil [say, 2-3 tablespoon] in a pan and add your sliced/chopped onion and allow to sauté, watch for softness.

I made chicken alfredo with baby asparagus not too long ago. I can submit my recipe as well: • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes • 6 tablespoons butter, divided • 4 cloves garlic, minced, divided • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning • 1 pound fettuccini pasta • 1 onion, diced • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon salt • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper • 3 cups milk • 1 cup half-and-half • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese • 8 ounces shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese • 8 ounces shredded Romano cheese • fresh spinach USE A LARGE SKILLET 1. Combine chicken, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic and Italian seasoning over medium heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and set aside. 2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. 3. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Saute onion and 2 tablespoons garlic until onions are transparent. Stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes. Slowly add milk and half-and-half, stirring until smooth and creamy. Stir in Parmesan, Romano, and Colby-Monterey Jack cheeses; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in chicken mixture and spinach. Serve over cooked fettuccini. As for the asparagus, I just cleaned them and steamed them for a few minutes lol. It's supposed to serve about 8, but I beg to differ. It makes a lot of food! Yummy food |
