For me, it's Tagliatelle alla Bolognese

Peanut butter sketti

putanesca

Pasta risotto-style (simmered in chicken stock), like in this Chef John recipe.

It's crazy good, especially if you add mushrooms and some other greens like spinach or kale.

I like a good homemade lasagna. its easy to be disappointed by restaurant lasagna, and after watching italian episodes of kitchen nightmares, it makes sense why.

helpful tip


when tasting the rigatoni..

don't fork a piece and lift into your mouth without shaking all of the boiling water out of it first..

probably looks like a herpe on my lower lip now..

Ever since I had to clear a severe tapeworm infestation out of a doggo I cant eat tagliatelle. They even feel like nice and warm al dente pasta when you touch them.

Chicken picata. Super easy and that sauce is good on anything

>>10923069

Here it is before the cheese went on top

>>10924337
Here it is with the cheese on top, slightly melted, excuse the dirty countertop I cleaned it

>>10924342
Here's the inside, shoulda used more moza tbqh

Pasta in the U.S. is shit unless you live near an Italian market with some homemade goodness or you know how to make it yourself. Don’t even pretend barilla is pasta.


And the best pasta dish I had was a gnocchi white truffle cream bake

>>10924464
Good thing I use some shit Canadian brand and not barilla :^)

Forgot the after oven pic

>>10924497
How did you make the bolognese?

>>10924497
>poor people...

Chicken thighs with a pasta sauce made of crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, shredded carrots garlic, thyme, and crushed hot pepper flakes. Served with penne.

>>10921792
OP, I also like a rigatoni, ziti or penne regati bake. I think of it as easy assembly lasagna.

I saw your pics, so wanted to suggest some protips that would improve your bake for the next time.
Yes, it's not lasagna but go ahead and add a beaten egg and some parm to a container of whole milk ricotta, and ladle about 6 dollops of that on top of the half filled pan. Then, rather than grate, cube up some of that mozzarella block (you are using a block of fresh mozzarella, I assume, just use 1/2 of that). Why cubes? Because as you are eating it shreds are dissolved, but cubes will give you lovely strings of it, a telephone cord as they refer to it in Italian. Top with remaining 1/2 of sauced noodles. Grate the rest of the mozz for the top with additional parm. Take a spoon and also pack that pasta in there, especially along corners and edges. Push it out. Cover your baked casserole with a lid or foil (don't touch to the cheese) for about 20 minutes to congeal all the goodness and heat the cheeses through, and then uncover 15 minutes to finish the top. This will indeed give you nice crusty corners, but won't let the top layer get so overdone you can't chew it nor dry out the sauce.

thinking of cutting out of work at lunch Friday to make homemade noodles. what sauce do I do?

>>10924547
>Jar of tomato paste
>4 cloves of garlic
>Half an onion (would usually do a full one but only had half in the fridge)
>Handful of mushrooms
>1 and a half pound of ground beef/pork mix
>Olive oil, butter, salt/pepper
>diced red pepper
>some basil

Fried the onion till translucent, then fried the garlic and mushrooms. Added them into the paste. Fried the red peppers. Browned the meat and added it in along with the olive oil, butter, salt and pepper and a small amount of basil. Combined it all into a pan, brought it to a boil on high heat, then I covered it and turned it down to low heat and let it simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

Homemade alfredo
>>10924639
Thanks for the tips man, I'll incorporate them next time I do this bake. And of course I was using fresh mozza.

>>10924415
Looks tasty OP, hope it tasted good.

>>10924639
i make lasagna, but never a ziti/penne bake, but if i do, will consider doing this.

>>10921835
He just seems like a fantastic guy for some reason

>>10924497
Looks fucking dry and disgusting. Way to murder that pasta

>>10924497
Not had OP, I would nom on that. Maybe like the other anon said some extra sauce would've done it good but looks tasty anyway if you ask me

>>10921838
I understand your frustration, even stouffers stuff is better than the vast majority of restaurant lasagna and I don't pay out the nose for it.
