How to cook nice Pasta

[schellen]

foreverj:

what is chives? thanks!

Chives are like spring onions but much milder in flavour. If you go to Ikea to have their potato salad, they use spring onions. But if you go to Jack's Place to have their baked potatoes, they use chives.

I personally prefer chives.

Hi all,


I'm interested in cooking nice Pasta.

Any chef out there can provide nice recipe for Pasta?

I only know how to cook normal type with minced meat, union, mushroom & hot dog with the pasta sauce.

Seen some of the pasta is white in colour without the tomato sauce, how to make ha?

Here is my carbonara sauce recipe:
200 gr streaky bacon
1 TBSP butter
3 eggs
100 gr cup Parmesan cheese
Nutmeg
1 TBSP parsley, chopped
Salt & freshly ground black pepper

just melt the butter and mixed with whisked eggs and put in the rest. happy cooking.....

I wonder if this counts as a recipe... I used to cook pasta using thick creamy campbell/heinz etc type of soup... To me, it's quick and convenient.

1. I like clam chowders so usually would get a can, prepare the soup as instructed on the can.
2. Boil the pasta, spagetti/linguini etc, separately.
3. Add either soup to pasta or pasta to soup when both soup and pasta are cooked... If you like more soupy, then add pasta to soup... If you like more dry, then add soup to pasta. I find this method easier to regulate the proportions.
4. Add garnishing or sprinkle parsley flakes etc
5. One can of soup serves two quite nicely as I like my pasta soupy and wet. [/quote]Hi 5 Zack! That's the way I do mine too. Especially when I come back late from work & reach home rushing to prepare quick dinner for my kids. While they are slurping, I can go back to finish my never ending work. I usually will add shredded chicken and mushroom.

Mozzerella gives the chewy melty strings, if you like something stronger use aged chedder. Personally I use a mix of mozzerella, chedder and parmesan.

I add in a can of tuna flakes in olive oil, some smoke turkey bacon strips, chopped parsley, chopped onions, diced mushroom to mixture of a can of Campbell's wild mushroom soup and boiled pasta. I like to add in a good dash of black pepper to the soup and a handful of grated parmesan cheese to give some added flavour. pour mix into baking tin/pyrex, sprinkle cheese generously over the top, bake in 180 degrees oven for 15 mins. I normally serve this with a simple salad for extra fibre....Enjoy... :celebrate:

To me, I thot it was the perfect way to do it in an almost fuss free manner ... I think this dinner will be ready in just 15min

For mine... I may cut up bacon strips into mini pcs and toast them till the oil oozes out so that the bacon pcs become crispy :celebrate:

Sounds like I may have to do the same thing one day. For the shredded chicken, you mean you have some on standby all the time when you reach home late? How do you keep it fresh without having the \"leftover\" smell? Or you prepare them on the spot?

Sounds good. You get it started... I do the collation and award of KS points

BTW... does love for cold soba count as \"pasta love\"?
