Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp and Basil
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 pound large shrimp – peeled and deveined
2 (28 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Prep:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Place pasta in a colander, and give it a quick rinse with cold water.
Heat remaining olive oil in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring constantly, until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic burn. Add shrimp, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet, and set aside.
Stir tomatoes, wine, parsley, and basil into the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 12 minutes. Add shrimp, and continue cooking until the shrimp are heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the shrimp mixture over the pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Hungry?? Give this yummy pasta a try
Great cooking video again, Renee! I think that because I don’t want to eat
once I’m done cooking, I don’t particularly enjoy cooking. However, I do
enjoy WATCHING your cooking videos. ;)
Totally making this!!! I love ur knives and tongs!!!
I love bow tie pasta! thanks, for sharing! looks so yummy xo :)
Here’s one of my faves that I’ve been passing around…It’s pretty easy and soooooo incredibly delicious!
Fettuccini alfredo with prosciutto and peas:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 pound prosciutto, julienned
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
1 pound fresh fettuccini
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute for a couple minutes or until tender. Add cream and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add prosciutto and peas and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle cheese over top and stir to melt and combine. Cook until heated through.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add fettuccini and cook until al dente, just a couple minutes for fresh pasta. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add the reserved pasta water and drained fettucini to skillet. Toss to combine pasta with sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve, garnished with extra cheese.
And here’s another great, light one that can be used as a main dish, or a side…SUPER easy!!!:
Lemon Spaghetti:
1 pound spaghetti
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.

Chicken pasta salad – very tasty and a nice change
1 lb. chicken, cooked and cut up
Cooked and drained pasta (I use tri-colored spiral)
1 large can black olives, sliced
1 onion, diced
3 to 5 celery stalks, sliced
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
1 cucumber, cubed
1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, cut any way you like
1 tub red cherry tomatoes (or 3 large tomatoes, diced)
1 cup Ranch or Italian dressing (or make your own)
Seasoning to your taste (Mrs. Dash works pretty good)
This makes a large amount, enough for a whole family.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 spanish onion — finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper — cored, seeded, and chopped
2 cloves garlic — finely chopped
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 can (28 ounce size) whole tomatoes with their juices — crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt and black pepper — to taste
1 pound macaroni, ziti, or penne
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
In a large, flameproof casserole, heat the oil. When it is hot, cook the onion and green pepper over medium heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the vegetables soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for half a minute.
Add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the meat loses its pink color. Tip the pan and spoon off any fat.
Add the tomatoes and their liquid to the meat mixture. Stir in the tomato paste, water, oregano, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer the sauce for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a soup pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, ziti, or penne and stir well. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it is tender but still has some bite. Drain the pasta into a colander and stir it into the meat sauce. Spoon into deep bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve at once.

this link has the recipe for a good sauce which u can use as a pasta sauce. bon apetit
MACARONIS GRATIN :
Boil the pasta, but not the all the way as they’re going to keep cooking in the oven
On the side, make a sauce like this : 30 grams of flour
30 grams of butter
salt & pepper
a touch of nutmeg
1/2 liter of whole milk
In a pot, melt the butter, add the flour and when golden a little,
add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
With a wisk, mix it all. Then use a wooden spoon until the sauce is thick.
It takes a little while, but don’t stop stiring.
Put a little of the sauce in the an long oven dish to cover the bottom,
then put the pasta and pour the rest of the sauce all over.
Add the shredded gruyère on top (trust me, this cheese is the best if you need melted cheese, and you can find it in every supermarkets), put in the oven until the cheese is golden, checking on the lpasta, they can’t be too cooked.
You can do the excat same recipe with cauliflower or leeks. Very good too
Bon appétit
