What is your favourite pasta dish?

[HowQuicklyTwoAndTwenty890]

I am doing spagetti bolognese tonight.

But otherwise i love sundried tomatos and spinach in cream; or prawns in a chilli sauce.

I need some new ideas. :)

Oh and how did I forget the Venetian duck ragu recipe from one of the BBC sites. Lot more work than sage butter though!

I am too at Gino to try any of his recipes, even if that means missing out on heavenly pasta dishes!

Any with seafood. There's a restaurant we used to go to for family get together who did a linguine marinara which was to die for.

I love carbonara and I'm ashamed to say that I love proper carbonara and nasty ready meal in a creamy sauce carbonara almost equally!!

I also have a lovely Gennaro Contaldo recipe with spaghetti, red onion, carrots, tinned tuna and lots of olive oil. It sounds dreadful but it turns tinned tuna into something sublime!!

Linguine al limone.

Sometimes with prawns.

Also with chilli, garlic, parsley and oil.

Penne or similar, prawns, asparagus, cream, garlic and a drop of white wine.

Roasted aubergine, cherry tomatoes and garlic - amazing!

This sounds delicious. Would you be able to share the recipe or link to one?

My favourite is carbonara, well It’s not traditionally a carbonara because my favourite version has chicken in it too (I first had it with chicken at prezzo and it was delicious so now I love it that way)
Or I also love Jamie Oliver’s ‘jool’s pregnancy’ pasta

Love carbonara too, but there are 2 distinct versions, with and without cream.
For without cream cook the pasta (we actually use penne as the kids find it easier to eat), fry the bacon, separate the eggs (we use 7 eggs for 2 adults, 1 child, 1 toddler). Mix the egg yolks with a lot of grated parmesan and black pepper, then add the cooked bacon. When the pasta is ready drain and return to the pan, then add the egg mix. The heat if the pan cooks the egg, you're aiming for runny fried egg yolk consistency. It is absolutely delicious, but very rich.
I also love a 3 cheese maccaroni cheese (cheddar, red Leicester, parmesan) with tuna and sweetcorn in.

Blimey that's a very eggy carbonara!
I use 1 whole egg and 1 yolk for 3 of us. Always with short pasta.

My favourites are lasagne, carbonara, and, in summer, seafood.

Amatriciana. Tomato, garlic, bacon. I like olives in it too

@rc22 me too! Dh makes the carbonara in our house though and the other sort is not permitted, lol.

It's more about the pasta than the sauce for me - I like a fusilli or shells so that there's more sauce attached!

I also love pregnant Jools pasta, it is delicious

Oooo could I have recipe for chicken alfredo please xx

Chicken Alfredo

That’s the recipe I use, very simple and nice.

We regularly have:
Chicken, Nduja & Tomato Mascarpone
Chicken & Pesto
Sausage, Pesto, Broccoli & Pinenuts
Zizzi's Casareccie Pollo Piccante
Pasta Bolognese
Chicken, leeks, mushroom, spinach & cream
Bacon, Broccoli & Pesto
Meatballs

Tuna tagliatelle

Onion and mushrooms caramelised in the oil of some tinned tuna in sunflower oil, cook tagliatelle, drain, then just stir onion and mushroom with the tuna into the tagliatelle and stir in some cream. So simple but absolutely delicious. Been making it for a good 14 years or more and nobody has ever disliked it

Red pesto, chicken, creme fraiche and spring onions.

Ziti. The recipe called for sausage but we are veggie so left it out. Bloody amazing.

Gnocchi with mushrooms, spinach and red peppers in a tomato sauce with a touch of cream and chilli.

Vegetarian or vegetable lasagne.

I've never had carbonara but I don't do eggs really so I've never fancied it even before I was veggie

Green pesto, bacon and peas. Usually goes down well with kids.

I love Casareccia Pollo Piccante from Zizzi restaurants and thought I would try it myself and it's amazing. Make it most weeks DH enjoys it aswell often asks for it especially

You will need:

Chicken breasts
Cherry plum tomatoes
Spinach
Casarecce pasta
Double cream
Belazu Harissa paste - this is the key, no other harissa paste will do I'm afraid!
Seasoning
Olive oil

I google zizzi pollo piccante and it shows the way to cook it I honestly can't recommend enough!

Spaghetti with sea urchin sauce. That would definitely be on my last supper menu.

I use ziti for most pasta dishes, it's my favourite shape. No idea why.

[quote JimmyTheBrave]I regularly make Nigella Lawson's Spaghetti alla puttanesca

And I've recently discovered Jamie Oliver's green spaghetti which is probably one of the easiest meals I've ever made, and it's so tasty! I'm guessing it's from his '5 ingredients' series:
