Quickest easier tastiest pasta - share yours please

[Sparrowlegs248]

No tomato sauce involved preferably. I love the nigella marmite spaghetti.

I am leaving this thread.

Not sure if this is what you mean but sacla do an amazing truffle pesto.
I also like making my own green pesto.

Also speghetti with butter, salt and parmesan. Do you want the recipe :o

fry up pancetta, mushrooms & garlic, simmer in cream then pour over fresh linguine. Also works with pesto instead of cream & can add onions/eggs if desired

I love Marmite - but on pasta? No!

spaghetti with pesto and cream cheese

Pasta pesto peas

garlic, olive oil & parmesan for super quick & tasty food.

Fry chopped chorizo or pancetta till it’s crispy, add cherry tomatoes, add pesto with a dollop of Philadelphia, stir until hot. Add cooked pasta.
Grated Parmesan on top. Definitely not the fanciest. But definitely tasty.

I like pasta with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and then add any of the following- prawns, mushrooms, asparagus, cream cheese, creme fraiche, etc

Oooh or pasta, pesto, peas, pancetta and Parmesan. All the p’s!

Mix olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan and lemon juice in a bowl. You want it to form a thick sauce like texture, you need plenty of cheese and oil. Cook pasta, drain and immediately add the lemon/cheese/oil with plenty of torn up basil and some black pepper. Mix.

Best Nigel slater recipe ever!

Pasta with pesto. Cook pasta, drain, stir in some pesto with some pasta cooking water.

Spaghetti carbonara. I boil the pasta, fry bacon and mushrooms, add garlic then cream mixed with an egg yolk per person and grated parmesan. Toss pasta with sauce and some cooking water until it gets to how you want it.

Both take as long as the pasta takes to cook plus the combining at the end.

Marmite?

Fry some bacon and garlic whilst cooking spaghetti and broccoli in another pan. Drain pasta and broccoli. Mix it all together with lots of Parmesan and some pasta water to make a sauce. You can also do this with sprouts instead of broccoli or chorizo instead of bacon.

This is exactly what I was hoping for!!

@Heuschrecke don't knock it til you've tried it! I wasn't convinced either but it's really nice.

Crème fraîche and grated cheese. Maybe some cherry tomatoes.

I also like pasta and curry sauce only one specific curry sauce though! I started eating it at uni because it's quicker to cook pasta than rice.

Chorizo, tin of white crab meat, chopped parsley, squeeze of lemon. Stir through spaghetti. V nice.

Smoked salmon carbonara (BBC Good Food website)
Not for expectant mums because of semi cooked eggs, but for everyone else - delicious

Spaghetti, extra virgin olive oil, pecarino, plenty of black pepper

If you like broccoli...

I cook broccoli florets in with the pasta. By the time they're cooked they're soft enough to mash/disintegrate through the pasta. Add cheese/pesto/olive oil/peas/crispy bacon. Yum!

Carbonara - Cook pasta, whisk up an egg (or two if 4 or more people). Drain pasta, mix in egg and stir slowly til cooked to a thick sauce that coats the pasta. Add parmesan. Eat.

Chopped or lightly blended anchovies/olives/sundried (or sunblush or baby) tomatoes/ garlic/olive oil/parmesan stirred through

Marmite and butter on spaghetti is food of the gods I swear.

More mainstream is pesto with a splash of cream and crispy fried bacon bits.

Raera semi cooked eggs are fine for pregnant women as long as they are lion stamped.

Fry mushroom and garlic and mix with pasta, cream cheese and a bit of black pepper.
