I am after a new idea for cooking Pasta?

Question

I can cook the normal Ragu sauce & Arrabbiata, I also put together a mean, Bechemel & Putanesca. My Girlfriend suffers with Ulcers, so I need to keep tomatoes in sauce to a minimum? Any ideas for a great italian sauce?

Answer 1

try using clarified butter mixed with fresh grated assaggio cheese. then throw in some snipped fresh herbs of your choice. grind a little sea salt and peppercorns into it and toss. put some mashed garlic cloves in the pan when you melt the butter. much better flavor.
melt butter with the garlic, toss on pasta.. then add cheese and herbs and salt/pepper.. it is simple and very good.

Answer 2

great vibrant sauce that is perfect to top grilled seafood, meats, or cold poached chicken.


: Makes 1 Cup

by Deborah Mele


1 Slice Italian Bread

Red Wine Vinegar

1 Large Bunch Of Fresh Parsley

2 Medium Cloves Garlic

1 Hard Boiled Egg

1 Cup Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper To Taste


Soak the bread in the vinegar for about 20 minutes. Chop the parsley and garlic together until they are finely chopped. (or pulse together using a food processor) Transfer the parsley mixture to a bowl and add the egg yolk, discarding the white of the egg. Squeeze the bread dry and crumble into the bowl. Adding a little olive oil at a time, whisk the ingredients together until you have created a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.

Answer 3

Arrabbiata, Putanesca, wow that's delicious!! Hot stuff! Love them!

How about Carbonara? Al Pesto? -that's fantastic- no tomatoes there!

How about frying lots of red & green peppers, some onion, garlic, & spices ? I do that often. You can also add cubed eggplant there.

OK, my gf makes a really nice "fast pasta" as she says, just butter, black pepper and cheese. Really simple, quick and not bad!

Answer 4

Add some olive oil to a pan and heat. Toss in cooked rotini pasta. Add about a tablespoon of Pace salsa, some crushed black pepper, and a generous amount of garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese. Stir it up good till its nice and hot.

Simple to make and super tasty! The trick to making it just right is using the correct amount of salsa. You use just enough to give the pasta some color, and thats all.
