Probably the simplest would be pasta in oil and garlic -- just saute a lot of garlic in olive oil (and if you have white wine, more better); when it's done grate the Parmesan over it.
You could do the same thing with mushrooms too, if you have a lot of them -- saute them in olive oil, garlic (and wine if handy). If you want to keep the oiliness factor to a minimum and/or don't have wine, chicken broth can be used (in addition to the oil).
Honestly, if you have olive oil and garlic, what more do you need?
If you have some kind of tomato sauce you can ';dress it up'; with black olives and capers, too. (And, of course, garlic!)
saute what you have except for the cheese and spaghetti cook the spaghetti top with the cheese that's it a meal in its self
Really easy. You can make a scampi. Butter (tons), garlic, little bit of salt, either a bit of white wine, or bit of lemon juice, you can add peppers, and other spices oregano, thyme, rosemary. But u can just do the butter, garlic, tomatoes, and some spices, and you're all set. Don't forget a bit of salt for these, and of course pepper.
You might take a look at this lasagna recipe. I have had it and it is great.
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!
Saute the garlic %26amp; onions %26amp; mushrooms and boil spaghetti. Toss them together, add some olive oil to lightly coat and toss again. I also suggest tossing in a can of diced tomatoes. Serve and top with cheese.
All these sauces can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. All will sauce half a pound of pasta.
Spaghetti with Garlic, Parsley, and Pecorino: Saute several cloves of minced garlic in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a handful of minced fresh parsley and a little crushed red pepper flakes and then toss with cooked spaghetti and some grated Pecorino cheese.
Fettuccine with Butter and Pine Nuts: Toast several tablespoons of nuts in a dry skillet. (You can use chopped walnuts rather than pine nuts, if you like.) When the nuts are fragrant, transfer them to a bowl. Melt at least half a stick of butter in the empty skillet. Toss with cooked fettuccine, toasted nuts, some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and pepper. Best with fresh pasta.
Linguine with Olives: Pit and chop a large handful of black and/or green olives. Combine with several tablespoons of olive oil, a little minced garlic, a pinch of hot red pepper flakes, and some minced fresh herbs. Toss the olive mixture with cooked pasta.
Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Lemon, and Garlic: Saute several cloves of minced garlic in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the grated zest from a lemon and toss with cooked pasta.
Spaghetti with Pancetta, Pecorino, and Pepper: Saute several slices of diced pancetta in a little olive oil until lightly crisped. Toss with cooked pasta, lots of freshly ground black pepper, and a half cup or more of grated Pecorino cheese. Reserve some cooking water to moisten the pasta, if necessary.
Fettuccine with Butter and Cream (Fettuccine Alfredo): Heat several tablespoons of butter and about half a cup of cream in a large skillet just until the cream starts to simmer. Add cooked fresh pasta to the skillet and then add plenty of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cook over low heat for a minute, tossing until the sauce coats the noodles.
Spaghetti with Herbs: Saute a few minced garlic cloves in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a tablespoon or two of minced mixed herbs (basil, parsley, thyme, mint, and so on) and toss with cooked pasta.
Penne with Ricotta and Peas: Saute a minced onion in several tablespoons of olive oil. Add a handful or two of frozen peas and cook just until warm. Thin a half cup or so of ricotta cheese to sauce consistency with some pasta cooking water. Combine the pea mixture, thinned ricotta, and several tablespoons of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with cooked pasta.
Linguine with Raw Tomatoes and Pesto: Chop several ripe tomatoes and combine with several tablespoons of pesto sauce. Toss with cooked pasta.
Penne with Tomatoes, Onion, and Butter: Saute a minced onion in a few tablespoons of melted butter. Add some chopped canned tomatoes and simmer until tender. Toss with cooked pasta and serve with grated cheese.
I love cooking rotini pasta, then rinsing it with cold water, and adding in veggies (mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, broccoli), then adding a few tablespoons of Italian dressing. Its a very quick pasta salad. You can mix it up with different veggies or adding extra spices such as garlic.
Simple for me is Spaghetti with just parm and butter. Adding chicken , pesto, mushrooms, green onions, tomatoes and alfredo spices it up.
Make spaghetti and drain
Use a cheese grater to grate fresh tomato over the warm pasta.
Use the grater to also grate fresh goats milk cheese over the tomatos. Sprinkle with garlic powder and enjoy.
The goat cheese is slightly salty, and makes this dish wonderful!
I had nothing much in the house one evening and just threw together a little something that my 6 year old son absolutely loved and he is a picky eater.
I just took some bow tie pasta but any king will do. Some italian sausage cut into bite size pieces. Chicken tenders cut into bite size pieces and a jar of spaghetti sauce. I cooked the pasta, cooked the chicken and sausage and mixed all together in a baking dish with the sauce. I then had pieces of provolone cheese that I laid on top and put it into the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through and the cheese was melted. It was simple and a hit and served with salad and garlic bread.
