Clean-Out-Your-Fridge Creamy Spaghetti

This isn't so much an exact recipe as it is a method. I make this using up leftover bits of vegetables and cheeses from the fridge. It's a little bland as written, but that's because I have a 3 year-old to feed. I usually add extra spices to my serving (garlic, ground black pepper, etc). This makes a quick lunch or side dish. -- posted by AmyMCGS

Garlic White Wine Spaghetti

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:30:32 -0500

I came up with by combining aspects of great garlicky spaghetti sauces that I've encountered in my life. Influences include Linguine Vongole from Giginos, my Mom's garlic spaghetti, and Campbell's clam sauce. Yes, Campbell's clam sauce. I love the little bits of garlic and the clearness of the sauce. I use Xanthan gum as the thickener. Go out and buy it. It's healthy, it lasts forever, it's gluten free, it's worth it. You'll find it at trader joes, whole foods or some foo-foo high end grocery store. -- posted by Chef #293530

Easy Pasta Puttanesca

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:41:54 -0400

Pasta Puttanesca literally means "Harlot's Pasta". This zippy, mildly spicy sauce was made by the ladies of the night in Italy after a day's work. Use whatever noodle style your family enjoys, but I recommend traditional linguine or penne. This dish is extremely adaptable to your own taste. Try adding peppers or Italian sausage for a different flavor. -- posted by Chef #852940

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:44:34 -0400

Toasted Spaghetti With Clams

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:35:27 -0400

Fast & Healthy. From "Fats Times with Ferran Adria" - Editor's Pick: Kristen Donnelly's Favorite from F&W Magazine, February 2005 edition. Ferran Adria credits the idea for this dish to one of his acolytes, Moreno Cedroni, the hyper-ceative Italian chef at La Madonnina del Pescatore in Italy's Marzocca di Senigallia. The method is very similar to risotto but spaghetti fills in for the arborio rice: Adria toasts it in a pan with a little oil, then adds hot clam juice until the pasta is fully cooked and loaded with briny flavor. Serve with a light zingy, minerally Albarino from Rias Baixas has the acidity to balance with the briny clams - try the 2003 Mar de Frade, an easy-to-find aromatic, zesty albarino. -- posted by Manami

Linguine Montecatini

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:04:30 -0400

Pasta is one of my favorite staples, and this recipe has a great fresh taste. Pair this dish with your favorite grilled chicken recipe for a simple low-fat meal. The drying of the tomatoes helps to intensify the flavor by removing some of the water. Kick up the heat a little and add some crushed red-pepper flakes.

Creamy Spinach Pasta Casserole

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:42:26 -0500

I had a bag of frozen spinach thawed and wanted to make regular greek spinach rice, but then my brain got toggled with cream and cheese and mushrooms and pasta for some reason, one thing led to another and the creation of this recipe happened. It was enjoyed, so if it sounds like something you would like, go along and play around with my recipe and tell me about it. Verdict: Not bad. It was a tad undersalted for my taste but i think in general its better than over salted. And you cant tell how salty the cheeses would be. So i would stick to the amounts of salt and just add salt while you are eating if needed. Optional in section B: you could add some chopped whole canned tomatoes - 1 cup. Also for those who prefer some meat in this dish, in section B you could add some cooked ham or turkey. Serve with a nice vinegrette salad of cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, lettuce.. -- posted by Alfrancis

Kittencal's Quick 5-Minute Chinese Noodles

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:09:11 -0500

I make this often it's easy and a great way to use up leftover cooked spaghetti, after you chop the garlic and green onions this takes only about 5 minutes to make, the amounts listed are really only a guideline you may use any amount of spaghetti and adjust all other ingredients to suit your taste --- I have left the chili flakes as optional you may omit or adjust to heat level, we like spicy so I always use about 1 teaspoon, make certain to use only cold spaghetti for this, you may use cooked Chinese soba noodles if desired in place of the spaghetti, I like to add in a few teaspoons sesame oil also while cooking, prep time does not include cooking the spaghetti -- posted by KITTENCAL

Spaghetti With Fresh Tomato Sauce

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:31:09 -0400

This very basic recipe is popular throughout Italy. Although any purchased spaghetti will do, this dish becomes special enough for company if you use artisanal pasta, preferably imported from Italy. This makes a wonderful first course. (In every Italian household, there is always a pasta course!) Note: To peel tomatoes, core and cut a small X through the skin on the bottom of tomatoes with a sharp knife. Place them in boiling water for about 30 seconds or just until skins begin to peel back. Quickly remove tomatoes from pan, and plunge them into ice water. Drain and remove skins. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

This recipe was handed down to me by a friend I met years ago. She was born and lived 20 years in Italy before moving to the states and this was Mom's favorite recipe. Apparently, this pasta dish was a very common side dish to many Italian dishes. It is extremely light but so full of flavor, and definitely not very much too it. Serve with some grilled seafood or chicken and it is a great quick side. It is literally made in minutes. -- posted by SarasotaCook
