Answer 1

There are 2 super simple ways to serve pasta that are always a hit and are super simple:
1- Pasta Carbonara
works best with spaghetti, angel hair or spaggettini
Cook pasta as directed on package drain and return to pan - then add 2 tablespoons olive oil,1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan, sat pepper and garlic and 1/4 cup cooked chopped bacon, ham, chicken or beef then stir until all noodles are coated and egg is cooked - serve immediately.

2- Scampi
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vermouth
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon
PREPARATION:
Heat oil over medium low heat in a large skillet. Sauté shrimp; add vermouth, garlic, salt, and pepper; simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice. Gently stir and serve over linguini noodles (follow directions on box or fresh tray for perfect noodles every time).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Try this spicy arriabata.

Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add some red pepper flakes. (About half a teaspoon to a teaspoon or so, depending on how spicy you want it.) Cook the red pepper flakes for a little bit then add some finely chopped garlic. Don't let the garlic burn! After a few seconds, once the garlic is cooked, add some chopped up tomatoes. (I used canned tomatoes, chopped up-they are great and they are easy). Don't add the liquid from the cans yet because the tomatoes will release some liquid and you want to wait a few minutes to see how liquid to sauce is. If not liquid enough, then add some liquid from the can until you get the consistency you like. After a couple of minutes, when it is heated through, add some chopped basil. Add basil at the very end. Turn off heat when you add basil. Add sauce to cooked pasta. Finishing cooking pasta with the sauce. This sauce is super easy and really flavorful.

Answer 3

I don't measure, I just eyeball the following ingredients (use olive oil amt. on par with how much pasta you will be cooking, then the rest will flow):

olive oil
minced garlic
minced onions
basil
oregano (just a pinch if dried)
Salt & Pepper

Recipe 1
spinach (frozen ok)
asparagus (need to cut into bite sized pieces; frozen or canned ok if have to . . . fresh always better)

Recipe 2
Canned clams w/juice (whole and/or minced . . . I mix both). Definitely DO NOT SKIMP on clams.

In large pan, sautee garlic in olive oil. Just as turning brown, add onions. Continue sauteeing until translucent. Add spices. Add asparagus and spinach if doing recipe 1; add clams if doing recipe 2.

Cook until flavors meld. Serve over pasta.

Can add a touch of white wine for body if you like.

Answer 4

1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic
1 large or 2 small zucchini
8 oz mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
big handful of parsley
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons sugar
teaspoon Italian seasonings
fresh ground pepper

Melt olive oil in a large pot, saute onions, then add minced garlic and zucchini. Add mushrooms and cook until water has cooked off, add tomatoes and wine. Cook for 40 minutes to 1 hour, stirring often. sometimes I add browned ground beef, sometimes not.

Answer 5

I really don't follow a recipe. I use a mix of tomato sauce and paste, obviously more paste means thicker, more sauce a bit thinner. I add in some Italian seasoning mix which you buy int he spice aisle and I add in white sugar, just a wee bit at at time until it's how I like it and I am way picky about my sauce. I may add in some water towards the end if I want it a wee bit thinner. Of course, I start out with a mixture of ground beef and ground sausage cooked up in some olive oil and garlic, drain and add to my sauce. I season the sauce as I go with perhaps some garlic salt and even parmesean cheese.

Answer 6

3 cans of diced tomatoes.
2 of the cans put thru a blender.
Put them in a pot than you have browned a diced onion in.
Add 1 -2 tbl chopped garlic
S&P to taste
handful of dried Ital. saesonings
handful chopped fresh basil
cook for 15 minutes - 1/2 hour.
Remember to start boiling water for your pasta. Always add salt to the water as this is the only way to season the pasta. The Italian rule to salt is make it as salty as the sea. So you can't add too much.
Good luck and good eatings.
