what ingredients do you have?

would you want a tomato or cream based?

vegetarian / meat / chicken / seafood ?

Butter eh? Like it? Then try this little buttery beauty!

Called 'breakfast pasta' by my Italian mamma-in-law, this is soooo simple... you'll just need an egg, a little butter, and your pasta (and cheese if you have it, but not essential).

* Boil a pan of water, containing two handfuls of salt (to bring out the taste of the pasta), and throw 100g of your pasta in.

* When the pasta is half-way through cooking, melt an ounce or two (25g) of butter in a frying pan. Also, if you have any medium-hard cheese lying around, chop this into small - 1cm - cubes and pop in a mixing bowl.)

* When the pasta is ready ('al dente'), drain it fully.

* Throw the pasta in the mixing bowl and pour over the melted butter. Give it all a good old mix.

* Finally, use the frying pan you used for the butter to fry an egg exactly how you like it, and just serve this in a bowl on top of the pasta.

Utterly delicious!

Creamy Pesto sauce:

a bunch of basil

1/2 cup cheese

1/3 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup hot water

Blend all, then add cream. Mix well and serve on hot pasta.

Boil the spagetti in one pot. While you're doing that take some oil (olive would be the best) and sautee the garlic, mushrooms, chopped onions and whatever else you have. If you have some basil or I might add a little of that. Drain the pasta and toss with the excess olive oil and stuff you sauteed up and some parmesan. Serve and top with a little more parmesean and you're good to go!

Pasta Primavera is easy.....and you can vary it.....saute 2 - 3 cloves of garlic in olive oil and butter, equal parts. add vegetables like fresh spinach, zucchini, sliced carrots, broccoli, really just about anything you like or any frozen combination would work....defrost the frozen first, so the oil doesn't spatter....when the vegetables are heated thru, add salt & pepper to taste, toss with cooked pasta.....

Another easy one is use tiny pasta, we use ditalinni or orzo....boil in water, when pasta is al dente, drain off some of the water, till there is just about 1/2 inch above the cooked pasta, scramble eggs into the water, stir till thickened, add butter, salt, pepper and grated cheese if desired.....this is our family comfort food recipe.....

two condensed creamed soup, one condensed tomato soup, 2 kinds of chopped vegetables ,depends on you choice sauted to be partly cooked and a 2-3 cups of macaroni of any kind cooked to tender I hate underdone pasta MACARONI 1C UNCOOKED = 3 CUPS COOKED 1 CUP UNCOOKED NOODLES = 1-1/2 C COOKED NOODLES

1 -2 pounds of hamburger fried till cooked and or crispy, drain off the fat and add the soups to the frying pan, if everything is cooked and mixed together it makes a great casserole add cheeses or cracker crumbs on top bake 30 mins till bubbling at 350 Now this is a great variable

mix together tomato sauce & alfredo sauce in whatever proportions you desire, & voila! a delicious tomato cream sauce for cheaters like me! you can add some kind of chicken to your pasta & serve with a salad & garlic bread for a delicious & easy full meal :-)
