i_like_sun Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Whats yer favorite type and what do you like to put on it? Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 my favorite dry is from pappardelles pasta (pike place market); my favorite wet is from pasta & co. (university village). but i like all kinds of pasta ... including gnocchi and stuffed pastas. what i put on it usually depends on the type of pasta and what i've got in the house - i love sauces, but i'll eat it plain if i have to! sorry; not very specific ... but i have rather eclectic taste in pasta.

thelawgoddess Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 i forgot to mention that i'm actually eating pasta right now. some kind of "chicken quesadilla" flavored deal - to which i added a bunch of corn and tapatio. if only i had ground beef in the house! (this is a new flavor i decided to try since it was on sale and i was feeling lazy - i actually put it back twice before finally deciding to get it, though.) Quote
lizard_brain Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Trader Joe's Organic Mac & Cheese w/ copious amounts of Tabasco Sauce. Â Penne Pasta & Clam Sauce. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 clam sauce ... mmm. but i'd probably put it on angel hair. Quote
olyclimber Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 lasagna...with whole cloves of roasted garlic and zucchini Quote
Dannible Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 I used to be a cook at a pizza & pasta place and got to make whatever I wanted for myself, so I did a lot of experimenting. The best had a mix of pesto and alfredo sauce sauteed with green and red peppers, pepperoncinis, olives, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, pineapple (strange but key ingredient), sausage, lamb, and 4 kinds of cheese, with cheese tortellini as the pasta. I stayed with the job a lot longer than I might have because I was addicted to the stuff. Â I was in Squamish for a couple weeks in June and we ate spaghetti mixed with rice, cheese, and hot sauce almost every day for breakfast and dinner. Cheap and tasty, but I think my climbing suffered from lack of other foods. Quote
i_like_sun Posted October 20, 2007 Author Posted October 20, 2007 I like Penne with mushroom tomato sause and jalepeneo pepper salsa, and chunks of juicy tender steak or buffalo mixed in! Â I'm stoked for dinner tonight! Quote
marylou Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Pasta: Di Cecco Papparadelle  Sauce: Hm, probably a tossup between Bolognese and Pesto (our family recipe) Quote
ScottP Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Fresh linguine with homemade pesto, grilled chicken that's been pulled apart with forks, lightly sauteed, then diced, oyster mushrooms and thinly diced green onion. Toss and serve with red wine. Quote
NTM Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 penne carbonara. i have to have bacon on everything. Quote

Â Â Â Â No silly, I don't sautee and dice the chicken. That's what I do to the mushrooms. For the chicken I slice it into about half inch strips, grill it on high heat, for about 6 minutes, and then shred the strips by pulling them apart with two forks. That way it absorbs the pesto better. Quote
ken4ord Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I make my own pasta, it is much better than what I can get around here. My favorites are herbed linguni, plain angel hair and ravioli (which happens to be on tonights menu). Â As for a topping basic red sauce, pesto or marinera (tonight it will be marinera). Left over pasta like linguni, spagetti and angel hair, is tasty just fried up in a pan with butter, parma, and fresh cracked pepper. Quote
The_Rooster Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 The best pasta I ever had was the stuff I found on the ground next to the farmer's dumpster. It had some sort of cheesy sauce that had aged in the sun, and a lot of bugs and sand granules mixed in. Â Deeee--lish!!! Quote

They freeze well, too, so you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor for a long time to come. Quote
The_Rooster Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I want that. Â Sorry, I ate it all. Quote
Sherri Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I want that. Â We could make them together. A peroghi party, of sorts. Quote
archenemy Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Whoooo hoooo! Let's get down with our bad selves! Â I finally lost 6 lbs, so I can't eat too much pasta; but I can build it! Quote
Sherri Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 6 lbs lost...Wooo-hoo, indeed! :tup: (Hmmm, sounds like it'll be harder to catch you now when I chase you around the kitchen. ) Quote
archenemy Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 my ass never changes size in the downward direction. It can still be grabbed pretty easily. Â Of course, I am also one of those feminist sluts who dared to have more that one relationship during college--so caveat emptor! Quote
