Easy and Delicious Pasta Recipes
Smoked Salmon Pasta
Both heartwarming and healthy, this is a great recipe for a chilly winter evening or any other day of the year. Cook spaghetti according to directions and set aside. Saute 1/2 chopped red onion until tender. Toss in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in 1/4 cup of white wine and cook until almost evaporated. Add 3/4 cup of heavy cream and the juice of 1/2 lemon and cook until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook 1/2 cup smoked salmon, 1/4 cup capers and 2 tablespoons chopped dill until warm. Add pasta and toss together. Sprinkle with dill on top and serve.
Fettuccine Alfredo
This dish is so good you can eat it by itself, or add sauteed shrimp or chicken. Cook fettuccine according to the package directions and set aside. Cook 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup butter in a skillet until the butter is melted. Add 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Combine with pasta and top with parsley.
Pasta Marinara
Like fettuccine Alfredo, pasta marinara makes a good base dish that can be eaten on its own or served with meatballs on top. Cook 1/2 diced onion until tender. Stir in 4 cloves minced garlic. Pour in a 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes and break up the tomato chunks with a spoon. Pour filtered water into an empty tomato can and add to the skillet. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 fresh basil leaves, a pinch of pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the basil leaves before serving. Serve on top of the noodles or mix them into the sauce.
