Please recommend a simple pasta recipe

  • Listen to an italian, when I don't have time to create something interesting I just put some cherry tomatoes (cutted in half) and I dress it with olive oil, grana cheese, salt, butter and black pepper in the end.


    If you have a bit more time you can prepare a mix of walnuts, grana cheese, olive oil, black pepper, salt,,, you need to mix it all in an immersion blender and then put this in the already ccoked pasta, and you're ready to go

  • When I want pasta but don't want to cook too much I cook aglio e olio. If you like garlic you will love this

    This is my fav recipe

  • You got to try this

    1/4 cup of fresh basil

    Cherry tomatoes a good amount because it kind of acts as a sauce

    Any amount of garlic cloves you want personally I add 4 cloves

    Some salt and pepper

    This is really important pasta noodles, block of feta cheese and 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

    Bake the cheese with the olive oil and cherry tomatoes for 15 minutes at 400 F

  • if there is some prepared marinara sauce available at your local grocery store, make sure to buy that.


    all you have to do is boil your pasta in water, olive oil and salt. heat some of the sauce in a separate pan and toss the pasta into it after draining the pasta water. finish with some grated cheese on top. it hardly takes ten minutes and if the sauce tastes good and authentic, it’s an alright substitute for penne arrabiata


  • Pasta & Italian food are my #1, so I'm very serious about it. Whatever you do, just make sure you follow the essentials:


    - Salt your pasta water (they say it should taste like the sea, but imo it should usually be a bit less salty than that if your sauce is going to be salty)


    - Don't add oil to your pasta water, just stir it after you put it in to prevent it from sticking. The oil will do more harm than good and leave an oil film coating your pasta.


    - Don't fully cook your pasta, stop cooking it before it's done and finish cooking it in your sauce so the pasta absorbs your sauce. You can always continue cooking your pasta in sauce longer, but you can't un-mushify overcooked pasta. Taste it often in the last few minutes to make sure it's not overcooked.


    - Keep your pasta water! That's the key to a great sauce. If you ever feel like your pasta gets dried out, it's because it needs pasta water. It will help make your sauces more silky. You can add more than you think. I use between 1/4 cup to 1 full cup. A lot of times I add so much it seems like soup at first, but just keep mixing for a while and it will come together.


    - Optionally finish it off with some good extra virgin olive oil or even a pad of butter to help emulsify your sauce and make it more velvety.
