365 Ways to Cook Pasta

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

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

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

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

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).

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).

Half recipe was a fast dinner with a salad.

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

Spaghetti with Roasted Red Pepper and Tuna : page 126
From the pantry and fast.
Made more or less a full recipe with half the spaghetti as dinner for two.

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

From the pantry. Good and fast.

Roasted Red Pepper and Ricotta Sauce : page 135
Good and fast.
Half recipe made lots of two.
Freeze up extra sauce.

Good.
Green pasta would be pretty.

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).

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.
