Basically it involves cooking spaghetti and while it cooks get a big bowl and chop (for 2 people) about 40 cherry tomatoes in half, add about 30 black olives, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 garlic cloves crushed and loads and loads of basil leaves chopped. Then last but not least 1/2 tsp of crushed chillis. Put the pasta on a plate then add the tomato thing and then add some chopped feta cheese on top. I LOVE This

Answer 4

Make a good pesto with parmesan cheese (freshly grated, and toated pine kernels along with freshly chopped garlic, basil and parsley, and good quality extra virgin olive oil.
Then make a tomato sauce by sweating the garlic and onions, add finely diced carrots and celery and leeks and also sweat till softened, and ,then add chopped tomatoes.....vine tomatoes preferably or tinned tomatoes along with some sundried tomato puree, add chopped coriander leaves and fresh parsely, a hint of fresh chilli, along with fresh basil, crushed black peppercorns and a hint of sea salt. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 mins and then lightly puree.....toasted pine kernels may also be added for more flavour and also optional is a hint of cinnamon.
Cook your pasta 'al dente' and refresh under cold water until required.
To reheat use a tiny amount of olive oil heated in a saucepan along with your pesto and toss the pasta in it till heated through. Serve with your sauce.
Delicious, and some folks may think its time consuming but the flavour is excellent and well worth the effort. Sauce can also be chilled and stored in your fridge for up to 5 days and can also be used as a base for spaghetti bolognaise and lasagne as well as several other italian dishes.

Answer 5

Slowly fry an onion. Then add a tin of chopped tomatoes, then lots and lots of herbs, really lots, all your favourites, basil, oregano, majoram, rosemary, chives and MINT. It will become a slightly murky colour, then simmer it all together for a time. When the pasta is cooked tip it into a colander and into the still hot cooking pan melt a big blob of butter and into that stir in a crushed clove of garlic (shouldn't need any more heat), tip the drained pasta back in and stir it around to coat it. Yum. Simple pleasures!

Answer 6

1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes per person
handful shredded basil
bit of garlic granules
seasoning to taste

wack them all in a frying pan and simmer for a few minutes. you can add peppers and onion if you want but be careful not to use to much. pour over the pasta and serve with grated cheese, preferably Parmesan or a vege alternative.

Answer 7

pasta with some broiled fish or chicken on top is very tasty and meat-free. You would also be getting some much needed protein and B12. Vegetable only diets do not contain complete proteins and are therefore not considered whole nutrition.

Answer 8

Baked ziti with a creamy ricotta/parm/mozzarella cheese layer

Cheese mixture is seasoned with minced garlic, fresh ground pepper, oregano and a couple secret ingredients that make it my own, all bound with a lightly beaten egg.

Cooked ziti, mixed with a non-meat pasta sauce - layer 1/2 in baking dish, add cheese filling in a thick layer, cover with remaining sauced ziti, a layer of grated cheese and a final few extra ladles of sauce to keep all moist.

Cover and bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree F / gas mark 4 oven. Remove cover, bake further 10 - 15 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Guaranteed hit - have made this for weddings and was very well received!

Answer 11

I dont eat meat but do eat fish and I love pasta in a sort of arrabiato sauce (tomato sauce with chilli and peppers) with king size prawns - if you don't like the sound of it you should try it - its lovely and goes down really well with family and friends (I mean they like it ... not that they go in it - jeez I'm not that experimental!!)
