Does anyone know any nice and on complicated pasta recipes that dont need baking?

THANK YOUDoes anyone know any nice and on complicated pasta recipes that dont need baking?
Easy pasta salad:





1 Package rotini pasta





1/2 lb. cheese (sharp cheddar, marble jack, or whatever you like) cubed into 1/4 in pieces


Small package of frozen peas (do not cook)


1- 8 oz can olives, sliced


Your choice of the following diced vegetables: Fresh tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, onions (green, yellow, white, purple), cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, or any other vegetable you like


1/2 to 3/4 bottle of your favorite Italian style dressing





Cook pasta until they are almost fully cooked (leave a just the slightest firmness, not crunchiness, but firmness) rinse the pasta immediately in cold water until all noodles are cold.





Toss in all the vegetables, olives, peas, and salad dressing. Voila! It's ready to serve. But you can also put it in the refrigerator overnight and serve it the next day. The flavors of the vegetables blend together really nicely. :) If you serve it the next day, feel free to add a little more Italian dressing just before serving.Does anyone know any nice and on complicated pasta recipes that dont need baking?
Tin of chopped tomatoes


One OXO cube


Sliced onion


Cut up some ham





Cook the pasta and while cooking





Put the sliced onion in a saucepan and cook until clear and soft - add the cut up ham.....put the chopped tomatoes in the pan and add the oxo cube - cook until just bubbling and add some BROWN sugar to sweeten the bitter taste of the tomatoes. When the right taste is achieved drain the pasta and add to the mix.





No baking at all
pasta


onion chopped


tin chopped tomatoes


tomato purée about 1 tablespoon


two to three fillets of white fish (depends on size) cut into 1/2 - 1 inch cubes


fish stock cube if available if not use veg stock cube or even plain water


Italian herbs


parmesan cheese


salt/pepper





put on pan of water for pasta





In a frying pan


sweat onions until transparent


add rest of ingredients except fish and cheese


bring to boil then cover and reduce heat to simmer





when water is boiling add sufficient pasta


half way through pasta cooking time (aprox 4 - 5 mins) add fish to tomato sauce and recover





drain cooked pasta, add parmesan to tomato/fish mixture (it will thicken) then tip pasta into sauce and stir/mix thoroughly and enjoy





A lovely light summery alternative to spag bol





Don't worry that fish is put in last minute as fish only takes minutes to cook and such small pieces should cook almost instantly





Oh and tipping the pasta into the sauce??





Many years ago was watching a cooking programme with an Italian chef and he said that you should always take the pasta to the sauce not the sauce to the past, and it works better every time, especially with bolognaise sauces as it prevents the water liquid often found in the bottom of the bowl when you pour the sauce onto the pasta.
I brown a pound of ground beef with a small, chopped onion and a real small amount of minced garlic, a dash of salt and pepper, then drain the fat. Then I put three of the smaller jars of RAGU spaghetti sauce in and a chopped green pepper. I add one tsp. sugar and SIMMER for awhile. I then put that on ANY kind of pasta. Spahgetti, Ziti, etc. You can also buy ready made, frozen garlic bread slices that you bake in the oven for a few minutes to go with it. Enjoy!

This is the easiest one I make. As long as you have 3 ingredients, you can toss it together in 15 minutes.





Boil pasta of your choice. I like ravioli or tortellini.


Drain and toss with a tub of pesto.


Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Yes, Just Cook pasta and then add some vegetables and Fruit. Let the pasta go cold and eat it like this
