Easy pasta recipes

Pasta is the ultimate convenience food, a pantry staple that is ready in less than fifteen minutes. Soups, cold or warm salads, side dishes or a mid week meal… quick and easy to cook, pasta goes well with fish, meat or vegetables, and a few pantry items such as soy or tomato sauce will add extra flavor. Pasta is all over. Look east for everyday food and you will see noodles; look west and you will find spaghetti, penne, ziti, tortellini, lasagna, or angel hair.

With pasta is difficult to decide which way to go. Would you prepare comfort old favorites, just like your mother used to make, or one of those delicious modern combinations that rival those served in the best restaurant?

Easy pasta usually that means boil the pasta and add a simple sauce -with pasta, the sauces make the dish- or a couple of ingredients, however, start with some pasta preparation, cooking and serving tips from the pros to get that pasta perfect.

Really simple: Add some anchovy stuffed olives, sliced, and cream to your cooked pasta. Mix and sprinkle oregano -fresh or dried, both come out really good- and grated cheese. This one is great in springtime, in the summer, try a salad made of pasta. Canned seafood or deli meats are also great for making quick and easy pasta dishes: chop, mix with the cooked pasta, add some olive oil and top with grated cheese.

Try the deliciously simple pasta Alfredo or pasta carbonara. Pasta is an international food, see it under a new light with a Mexican lasagna.

We hope these ideas will help to find easy pasta dishes one can put together fast and will satisfy even the fussiest eater.
