Answer 3

try this-it is yummy!

Chicken & Pasta in a Sherry Sauce

INGREDIENTS (About 4 Servings)

1/4 Cup of Diced Onions
3-4 Chicken Breasts, cleaned
2 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
Sicilian Sea Salt & Pepper to Taste
1/4 Cup Sherry
Thin Spaghetti (Capellini, Linguine Fini or Spahgettini)

Boil water for your pasta. Allow the water to heat on high for about 10 minutes before you go to the next step.
In a skillet, heat your olive oil until hot. Add in the chopped shallots and sauté for a few minutes. Add in the thinly sliced garlic and allow it to cook, without burning the garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add in the sherry to deglaze the pan and allow it to burn off for a minute. Next add in your mushrooms or artichoke and/or sweet roasted peppers. When the water for the pasta comes to a rolling boil, add some salt and your pasta and cook according to the box's directions (probably about 6 minutes). At this time also add your chicken to the pan and turn once to cook the other side. When the pasta is done, put your chicken on a plate, and add the spaghetti to the dish with the sherry sauce, stir and thoroughly coat the pasta. Put on the plate with the chicken and serve!

Answer 4

Just do the aglio olio pasta:

put olive oil in a pan
let it heat up
throw in some peppers and garlic
cook the spaghetti

mix it all up together, it is so simple to make and so delicious
make sure the garlic doesn't burn

Aglio Olio:
1/4 cup (4 turns around the pan in a light stream) extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Coarse salt
1 pound spaghetti, cooked to al dente

Answer 5

Not necessarily a "new" dish, but definitely one you'll thank me for after trying it!

Here's my recipe, but it's in my head, and you have to kind-of experiment
with the quantities (seasonings), okay?

3 lb. pork spareribs
2 quarts of tomato juice
1 large can tomato paste
1 large onion
premade Italian meatballs
Oregano
Chili Powder (about 1 scant teaspoon)
Paprika
Salt/Pepper
Bay Leaf (2)
Sweet Basil
Garlic salt

Cut spareribs apart into smaller pieces. Brown them in about 1 T.
shortening. Season w/Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic salt. When nearly
browned, add chopped onion - season and brown. Add tomato juice, tomato
paste, about 1/3 can of water, lots of paprika, generous portions of
oregano, sweet basil, garlic salt, and chili powder (about 1 scant
teaspoon). Bring to a boil and then turn down stove to just a simmer, and
cook about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally (uncovered). When sauce has
simmered, and thickened, add meatballs to heat about 1/2 hour prior to
serving. Cook spaghetti separately and salt water liberally. Drain
noodles. You can add some butter to noodles to avoid sticking. Enjoy --
Can add parmesan to top of serving (optional). I like garlic bread with
this, but you don't need much else, unless you want to get a bit of Chianti
Wine, which goes good with Italian food. Plan on having leftovers, as you
will. Be sure to store the meat separate from the sauce. If you store them
together, the sauce will be absorbed into the meat, and there won't be much
sauce. (I learned this from experience).
