Answer 2

Tagliatelle Verdi con Salsiccia

--1 teaspoon butter
--3 links mild Italian sausage, casings removed
--1/4 cup dry white wine
--2/3 cup heavy cream
--freshly ground pepper to taste
--pinch nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
--10 ounces or so tagliatelle or fettuccine--they really should be green (spinach) tagliatelle, but those can be hard to find. I've made this many times with ordinary pasta and it's still really good.
--freshly grated Parmesan for the table

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (it boils faster with a lid on). Meanwhile heat the butter in a large skillet until foamy. Add the sausage meat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until you don't see any pink, but don't overcook, or it will dry out. Add the wine and let it cook down for about 30 seconds. Add the cream and turn up the heat. Cook and stir for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened somewhat and forms large, shiny bubbles.

Did I say put the pasta into the water once it boils? Oops. Do this before you start the sauce if you're using dried pasta. If you use fresh, you can put it in when your sausage is mostly cooked.

Take the sauce from the heat. (It's OK for the sauce to sit a couple minutes, if the pasta is not quite al dente.) Off the heat, add pepper to taste and a little bit of nutmeg. That may sound odd, but it really makes the dish--try it.

Drain the pasta and toss it with the contents of the skillet until combined. Pass the Parmesan cheese at the table.

This is my 6-year-old son's favorite thing to eat in the world (and one of mine too). I hope you try it. Cheers.

Answer 3

1 cup Gorgonzala cheese crumbled
1 cup Italian Fontina cheese grated
1 cup Pecorino grated
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped/ diced tomatoes
1 cup tomatoe suace
1 bunch (according to desired amount) fresh chopped up basil
1/2 stick butter
1 lbs Penne Pasta
1/4 -1/2 lbs Motzerela Cheese Slices

Take the first 7 items and mix in a big bowl together while boiling the noodles. Add about half the Basil to the mix. Throw in like a teaspoon of salt to the noodles while they cook.
Once the noodles are done mix them in with the cheese mix.
Put them in a large bowl that is oven safe.
Cut the butter up and place it all around the top.
Place the mozerella slices over the top evenly as possible.
Cook in the oven at 350 untill the mozerella is getting a little brown.
Pull it out serve it on a plate with a littel basil on top and eat up!
NOTE: I you want to have some for left overs the next day (which you will!) keep a little of the cheese sauce seperate from the mix in a cup. Then the next day when you reheat the meal throw the extra sauce in when you microwave it.
The noodles soak up the sauce and it will be kinda dry the next day.
ALSO if you dont like tomatoe chunks, like my husband, you can sub the tomatoes diced pieces for just the cup of tomatoe sauce.

Answer 6

You can do LOADS of stuff with pasta, and there are so many different types of pasta available too! My favourite is ravioli funghi (pasta stuffed with cheese and mushroom) and then pour a thick, cheese sauce over the top.
You can also get some spiral / shell pasta and add mayonnaise, grated carrot, spring onions, garlic and sweetcorn - lovely vegetarian lunch! Or you can make a chicken carbonara or white wine sauce with tagliatelli, mushrooms, onions, vegi's of your choice....There's just lots to do with pasta!!

Answer 7
