What about spaghetti in a parmesano reggiano butter sauce, put it on forks with little cups, did that for an anniversary party last yr.

Answer 2

I'd bring a pasta salad because that way you don't have to worry about keeping anything hot/heating anything when you get there. Just make some macaroni and throw some veggies in and some feta and olive oil dressing and you're set. If you're not comfortable making up a salad, here's a website that has a whole bunch of quick easy pasta dishes!

Answer 9

bealie special!
cook pasta on the soft side,,,,,add fresh garlic, two cloves crushed, and fresh basil while cooking. drain once done.
new pan (flat) two packs of streaky bacon cut into slices (small) 1 punnet of mushrooms, 2 fresh chilli pepper finely cut or crushed with garlic crusher (chilli powder will do) one large red onion finely chopped, fresh basil leaves finely chopped, 1 nob of butter..a table spoon of olive oil, two cloves of fresh garlic crushed or two medium squeezes of a tube of garlic. fry on a med to high heat... stirring every 40 seconds or so. once bacon is cooked and others are bronzed add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a little of the water you cooked the pasta in and some halved black olives if you fancy...some peple don't like them...... if sauce is too thin or there isn't enough of it..i know it's cheating but buy a jar of ragu to add to it..you don't need the whole jar...just enough to cover every piece of pasta once you've tipped it into the mix.
trust me this is absolutely scrummy and that's from some one who can't stand pasta!
especially with some garlic bread...hmmmmmm
