pasta

I had planned to make this with sardines - I mean, what is more Italian than pasta with sardines and olive oil? - but what I thought was a can of sardines turned out to be a can of smoked eels. It actually turned out even better than I could have imagined. The oven dried tomatoes have had a...

I love pasta! Fat pasta, skinny pasta, long pasta, short pasta, stuffed or layered, homemade or store bought. Hot or cold. It's all good. Do you have a favorite pasta dish? Do you make your own? Any tips or tricks?

This is my recipe and the recipe I am writing it with the revisions I will be making next time we have it. 2 servings 1 pound 20-25 shrimp, shell on 1 cup onion, chopped 5 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1/4 tsp saffron threads 1-1/2 tsp ground cumin + extra for shrimp 2 tsp smoked paprika +...

Want to make pasta for dinner. I like to make pasta puttanesca alot or sometimes other vegetables such as zucchini or aubergine. I'm looking for something a bit different to make tonight. Any suggestions? Vegetarian please.

So easy! Of course you need to make 'The Lady's Relish' first but that is not difficult. This pasta dish is better than the sum of its parts. Ingredients (per single serving) 100g linguine 2 heaped tbsps 'The Lady's Relish' Zest of half a lemon Chopped parsley Method Cook the pasta just how...

Well we forgot to make the prosciutto wrapped asparagus "rafts" to go with one of our meals, so needed to use them in another meal and this is it. Ingredients Kosher salt 1/2 cup diced prosciutto (about 3 1/2 ounces) 1 clove garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/2 cup dry white wine...

I'm thinking of hosting a small New Years Eve get together for 8-12 people. I was thinking of trying my hand at a pasta bar. What do you suggest that I provide with the pasta bar? I also don't want to spend a silly amount of money on this. Please keep that in mind lol.

Anyone heard of this, from Abruzzo? @MypinchofItaly maybe?

We've made this recipe for many, many years. It's tasty and simple and fairly quick to make. It can be made vegetarian/vegan by substituting something for the sausage or simply omitting the sausage and adding additional vegetables and tomatoes and using additional seasonings that are in...

This was several years in the making. I’ve always had this idea of making the colors of the Italian flag, although that idea has always been to do it with pasta. But, in my continuing quest for healthier options, I decided to make a gnocchi with rutabaga. I decided to add a potato at the last...

I'm contemplating getting one of these babies. I'm getting all excited with the pasta challenge thread lol. Budget: $50.00 bucks (is that even possible to get a decent one)? I'm going to link a few off of Amazon. I don't know anything at all about these fwiw. Please post any comments or...

I'm going to give this recipe a try tonight. I'll probably serve it with chicken and/or shrimp. Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped ¼ teaspoon saffron threads or paprika 1 cup dry white wine 2¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided 2...

Advice needed urgently! I don't make fresh pasta often enough to be much good at it. I've made some dough today using the Jamie Oliver recipe - 200g 00 flour plus 2 eggs. The dough was extremely hard and difficult to knead. I added a little water which did make kneading a little easier, but...

Springtime pasta! Absolutely lovely dish. A good bit of prep, but doesn't take long for the actual cooking and it's delicious! 1 large or 2 small carrots, peeled, thinly sliced 1/2 pound asparagus, tough stem ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces, tips kept separate 1/2 pound mushrooms, 1/4...

Gnocchi Making these pillows of potatoey goodness isn't as hard as the many steps below make it look. My family never pan fried the potatoes after boiling, but I like that relatively new development in the recipe, so I've added it in. And, as a personal note, my dad always pronounced...

I really need to work on my consistency. They don't look pretty, but they tasted good. Note that the orange color was due to the tomato paste in the dough. Ingredients 1 1⁄4 cups "00" flour 1⁄2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2 eggs 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces...

This is DEFINITELY not a date night meal unless you both really like garlic. The good thing though is no vampires will want to be around you! Pasta 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus more as needed 2 eggs 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 pound fresh spinach, blanched, cooled slightly...

Pasta 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus more as needed 2 eggs 1 Tbsp Olive oil 1/2 pound fresh spinach, blanched, cooled slightly, squeezed very dry and finely chopped 3 large cloves garlic, very finely chopped, preferably microplane grated 1/2 tsp Salt water if needed Sauce 3 medium leeks 3...
