Just Easy Pasta Recipes
Easy pasta recipes are usually quick to prepare. All you need is great pasta sauce recipes and whatever you have on hand to fix a meal in no time, even if you're a beginner.
And I'm talking about something more sophisticated than "Kraft Dinners"!
So many different pasta types and shapes, does it matter which ones you use? I searched the net for the answer.
According to The National Pasta Association, to make delicious pasta dishes, the secret is in combining the shape with the right sauce.
Example: angel hair should be served with a light thin sauce but a thicker pasta like fettucini is best served with a heavier sauce like alfredo. Also pasta with holes are good to capture a chunky sauce.
I found lots of great and easy pasta recipes in my box that I forgot about...it's a good thing I decided to build this site, right!
Pasta cooking is easy and yet I've been doing it wrong, at my age! Shame on me.
So cooking the pasta is important, but the pasta sauce recipes for sure make the dish.
Names like pasta carbonara or pasta fagioli or pasta pomodoro might mean something to a real cook or an Italian, but I'm not so sure...I think pomodoro means tomatoes?
Anyway, in my book, pasta sauces are categorized as:
- tomato sauce
- pink sauce
- white or creamy sauce
- meat sauce
That's it...I told you I'm simple and easy!
