365 Ways to Cook Pasta
By Marie Simmons
Harpercollins - 1996
Really yummy. I'm not a chicken liver person, but this was good.
- Had 285g of chicken livers, so made a double recipe, out of which we'll get 6 servings rather than 8.
- Bet the bacon should really be pancetta; lardons would work too I think.
- Used some of my frozen tomato purée plus one (big) fresh tomato from the potager.
- Used fresh sage from the garden.
- Thought it needed quite a bit of salt and lots of pepper at the table.
We enjoyed.

Rotelle with Asparagus and Mushroom Sauce : page 176
Good.
I used dried mixed shrooms. Added the red bell pepper to the sautéed veggies, just at the end (to avoid them being completely raw).

Good.
Green pasta would be pretty.

Good, fast, from the pantry if bacon is available. (Lardons would probably work too.)

From the pantry and fast.
Made more or less a full recipe with half the spaghetti as dinner for two.

Pretty and tasty.
Serves 2 as a one-dish dinner for two.
Half the butter is sufficient.

Half recipe was a fast dinner with a salad.

Spaghetti with Salami and Peas : page 55
Healthy? Maybe not. Tasty? Yes.
And can probably be made with stuff you have in house whenever you have some nice salami wanting to be used.
I usually use shorter pasta, rather than spaghetti.
Also, half of the butter&olive oil specified (with a note to try all olive oil next time).

Broccoli and "Butterfly" Soup : page 48
A good quick soup. The quality of your chicken stock makes all the difference.
Serves 2-3 as a main (rather than 6).

Another good pasta salad. Two of us ate it all for dinner, although that was a bit piggy.

A good pasta salad. I've used panga cut in strips in place of shrimp. That works too.

A good pasta salad. I usually use broccoli instead of green beans and cuke instead of celery for crunch.

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca : page 7
A good take on a classic. Easy.
I used (homemade) seedless tomato sauce.
