Pasta Bolognese

eeeveOctober 8, 2015

We love pasta puttanesca - quick, easy, delicious, and we normally have everything that's needed on hand.

Pasta carbonara.

tikiluOctober 8, 2015

My go to easy pasta dinner is a (probably not very authentic) Bolognese, I made one yesterday and it will feed me and the hubby all week. Chopped onion, mushrooms, minced beef, beef stock, garlic, chopped tomatoes and passata and simmered until it reduces and thickens. Serve just enough sauce to coat the spaghetti, I stir it into the pasta in the pan to make sure it's all covered, all the flavour but keeps the calories lower so I still get to have my pasta fix!
Would love to learn to make a more traditional authentic Bolognese.

kbennallOctober 7, 2015

I have 2: broccoli, spicy sausage, and orecchiette; or penne, canned tuna, capers, and lemon. Both with lots of olive oil and Aleppo pepper.

SiegalOctober 8, 2015

I love to make a quick pesto and toss with pasta

Tomato pasta is always my go to for a quick and easy pasta dish. Fresh tomatoes in the summer, tinned in winter. Either way it's always a winner in our house.

Pasta puttanesca is my favorite, flavorable pasta dish. I try to always keep the needed ingredients on hand.

MartinaDesignsOctober 26, 2015

Pasta Bolognese! It's quick, easy & delicious. Plus I usually have all the ingredients to make it.

joslovescookingOctober 17, 2015

My family's go to recipe is two tins of quality Italian tomatoes, sautéed garlic and anchovies, basil, S&P. Stir through cooked pasta and top with freshly shaved Parmesan. Simple is best!

trudys_personOctober 18, 2015

Pasta with pesto, and anything interesting we can find in the fridge ... or soup from our local take-out place that makes all their soups from scratch!

Grocery store tortellini with fresh sage out of our garden crisped in browned butter, all dumped over the pasta. This is SO simple and eye rollingly good.

JanSchollOctober 31, 2015

risotto with artichoke bites. And some cheese. Not a lot, just enough to taste.

earthnfireOctober 31, 2015

penne with broccoli and spicy sausage

CEMNOctober 31, 2015

Orecciette with broccoli, anchovies, garlic, chilli, olive oil and parmesan. I always cook the broccoli with the pasta, just adding it a little bit later so it doesn't get too soft.

SujataNaikOctober 31, 2015

Pasta with arrabiatta sauce!

lindaeatsherbooksNovember 1, 2015

Broccoli and pasta. So simple, so good

laurieskOctober 31, 2015

Spaghetti with red sauce. All from the supermarket.

LynnieqNovember 1, 2015

Drunk's Pasta- you can make it even when you're a bit under the weather after a cocktail or two- saute chopped leeks or onions, 1Tbls baby capers, 2 Tbls chopped sundried tomatoes in oil, two Tbls stock or water. Bring to boil. Add half a chopped camembert or brie- skin and all. Turn off heat and cover. Cook fresh spaghetti. By the time this is done and drained the sauce is ready. Stir well and pour over pasta. Serves 2. Yum.

poots55November 1, 2015

I love angel hair with salty browned butter, a tiny bit of lemon flavored olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese and cherry tomato, finished with fresh chopped Italian parsley. I've kept this a guilty secret because it sounds so odd!

infotropOctober 31, 2015

carbonara...even if I don't have fresh, I almost always have dried wild mushrooms.

mikejunewOctober 31, 2015
