I did once. My lover and I were vacationing in someone else's house; the owners were away. It was winter, and snowing, and late, so we decided to see what I could make with whatever they had there. I mixed different kinds/shapes of pasta and cooked with a frozen broccoli-cauliflower mix. The sauce was milk and Parmesan and garlic and pepper and Italian seasoning (or whatever they had--basil? oregano?), and it came out like a Pasta Primavera with an Alfredo sauce. We thought it was good.Have you ever made up a pasta recipe?
take flour and beaten egg.
mix the flour into the egg, kneading it, adding more until it forms a very stiff dough.
Roll it out on cornstarch until it's thin.
Fold and roll up into a tight cylinder
Take a sharp knife and take thin slices off the end of the roll.
Presto!
egg noodles.
cook in boiling water.
I like mushrooms, bacon, garlic and cream cheese. Just mix with some milk to thin it out and season well.
cork screw pasta, or bow ties, add diced or quartered fresh tomato's, according to size you want, black olives drained of course, cooked , drained and cooled broccoli tops,no stems, and don't cook the broccoli too long, you don't want it too soft. toss all with a oil type Italian dressing, store bought is fine. pepper and salt. serve cold.
I've made several kinds of pasta. Gnocchi is fun -- that's like pasta but it starts with mashed potatoes and you squish it up with your fingers. Have also made linguine, but I don't have the proper cutter so it was pretty thick and heavy.
Whoops! I just realized you wanted a recipe using pasta, not a recipe for pasta. Sorry.
