As a chef I learned few good recipes, and I was working in a place where being Italian and eating the Italian food is a perfectly normal thing. I was working in Malta where every other restaurant is Italian cuisine. This is quick and beautiful recipe. My favourite as well. Ingredients: -...

Had you tried eating pasta with kimchi? If you are a lover of korean foods this is just easy and I am always making this recipe. If you are not living in Korea and if there is an Asian store in your place you can buy a ready made kimchi either in a bottle or in a pouch. First melt butter in a...

My personal favorite thing to cook is baked macaroni and cheese. It's easy to make and I think it tastes delicious when it's reheated in the microwave the next day. Plus it's easy to make and filling. I use about a quarter pound or less of the following cheeses. American, cooper sharp and...

Mine would be fusilli and penne. I like to keep it pretty simple. I like Spaghetti as well. What's your favorite pasta shape?

My local fruit and veg shop has some black pasta. I was intrigued, but I avoided it because the black colouring comes from squid ink and I'm vegetarian. I'm assuming that all black pasta is produced in this way. It looked nice, though.

It seems like that is what we have every single night lately. Spaghetti and meatballs, buttered noodles with cheese and fettuccine alfredo seem to be nightly rituals lately. We are running out of food in the fridge and freezer. Money has been tight lately so I need some ideas with not a lot...

Hi all! I am creating this thread because my bf and I make a lot of very delicious pasta, but I am fishing for more ideas. What we do now is basically a variation of Bolognese pasta. What are your favorite ways of cooking pasta and your fav ingredients? Greetings!

I've been given a pasta maker for Christmas. It's an interesting looking gadget, and looks like it could be a lot of fun to make your own pasta. However, can anyone tell me if it's worth all of the effort, because it does seem to take a while to roll it all out to a certain thinness etc...

Mine is often waterlogged, rubbery and on the fat side (probably because I worry too much about under cooking it) - how do you know when it's ready?

I just made a batch of this today, and it is fantastic. http://www.forkknifeswoon.com/food-drink/side-dishes/2013/05/lemony-orzo-pasta-salad-with-cucumber-and-feta/ I didn't have any fresh mint on hand, but that really would have put this over the top. It's a nice change of pace too from the...

When we have cookouts or family get togethers I like to make this simple and easy dish. It is simple to make and gets rave reviews each time I make it for my family and friends. Tri-color pasta cooked and drained. After draining the hot water I dunk it in cold water and drain a second time...

My husband loves macaroni salad and requests it often. I thought I would share my very simple recipe. Elbow noodles boiled, drained, dunked in cold water and redrained. Ranch salad dressing ( I eye ball this and use enough to make the salad moist) You can use store bought or make your own...
