Any help on specific recipe apprecaaited

I have the following pasta

- a 17.6 oz of RAO'S HOMEMADE TRE-COLORI FARFELLE
- a 12 oz GOLDEN GRAIN PENNE RIAGTE
- a 12 oz Traders Joe's Garlic basil ROTELLE

I want a simplest recipe for each the above pasta, preferably with
some meat (easy to cook version for the meat too).

I love Italian food but emmeber that I am an Asian and I have only
cooked spagehtti, using ready made sauce and penne pasta using ready-
made pesto suace.

I am not being lazy to search for the recipes; it's a headache to see
so many choices.

I am not into being creative with food. I am just trying to eat
healhty but I am on extremely tight time for cooking and hence need
simple and easy but tasty recipes for the above, just one recipe for
each type of pasta above.

The kind of pasta doesn't really matter. Most sauces can be used on
any type of pasta. Just find a recipe where you like the ingredients,
and try it - it's all a matter of personal taste anyway, so it's
really up to you to find what you like.

Good luck,

Do you stir-fry cook very much? Put that atop the pasta instead of
rice. I'd use vermicelli and call it vegetable lo mein. A poor
relation, perhaps, but also perhaps a beginning.
Of the three pasta types my preference would be for the rotelle -- I'm
just not crazy about farfelle or penne.
Good luck.

Never fails, for one serving:

30 g any kind of bacon, diced
1/2 onion chopped
olive oil
100 g tinned tomato, diced
30 g freshly grate parmesan or other cheese

Cook from 65 to 100 g dry pasta in lots of boiling water.

When the pasta goes into the water, put the oil, bacon and onion in to
sauté. When the onion is transparent, add some of the pasta water and
just 2 minutes before the pasta will be cooked, add the tomato. Drain
cooked pasta, put it into the frying pan and toss for 30 seconds. Add
the grated cheese and toss, serve smoking hot immediately.

Works best with a pasta with a hole in it, like the penne.

There is a blog called Once Upon a Feast - Every Kitchen Tells Its Story
that has a weekly Presto Pasta Night feature in which pastas from around
the world are presented. It includes Asian recipes too.

Hmmmm... I'd think cubed or sliced chicken would be a good choice of meat.
Put some olive oil in a skillet or wok and heat it up. Put some diced
garlic into the pan or wok for a couple of minutes. Add the cubed meat and
cook for maybe 5 minutes or so or until browned on all sides. Add some
veggies like broccoli, carrot, onion, tomatoes and season with oregano or
whatever you like. Serve over the pasta. If time is a big concern one can
alway use frozen veggies and those cans of ready made tomatoes like Hunts
diced tomatoes seasoned with oregano and garlic (instead of regular
tomatoes).

I like sauce when I eat pasta

This is fast and a no brainer plus lots of people do this...it isn't
really cheating. It just saves time to personalize a jar of comercial
sauce.

The italian sausage can be replaced by many meats such as say chicken or
ground beef. As you refine this to your personal tastes quantities and
ingredients will vary from the recipe. It is more of a concept than a
recipe.

Put some jarred pasta sauce in a pot, add some diced Italian sausage, add
some minced garlic, add some sliced mushrooms or some diced green pepper
or diced onion maybe all three; taste then adjust garlic and seasonings
to your preference might need more basil or oregano ...whatever. Set it
to simmer. Now start the pasta...once the pasta is cooked the sauce will
be ready.

I'm not sure that the type of pasta matters so much; it's mostly
about the sauce. Here are two that I use, one is cream based, and
one uses tomato. I tend to put them on wide fettucini and spaghetti,
respectively, but I should think they'd work on your pastas as
well:

Tomato Pasta Sauce

1# ground beef
15 oz. canned tomato sauce
½ of a small onion, chopped
1-2 cloves crushed garlic
3-4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 dashes Tabasco (depending on how hot you like it)
Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder to taste

Brown and drain meat and onion, add garlic and tomato sauce, mix
well. Add spices, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer on
low for 20-25 minutes. Pour over cooked pasta (I usually use a
little less than 1#, depending on how much sauce is yielded).

Fettucini Con Crema

1/2 C. butter (not margarine)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 T. fresh or 1/2 tsp. dried sweet basil
1/2 C. flour
2 C. parmesan cheese, grated
16 oz. whipping cream
16 oz. "half & half"
12 oz. wide fettucini noodles, cooked

Gently heat cream and "half & half" in saucepan over medium heat.

In large kettle, melt butter, add garlic and sauté until soft. Add
flour and spices; mix well and cook until sauce starts to bubble
and thicken. Add cheese in 3 sections, mixing until melted between
each. Slowly add cream mixture, stirring constantly, until sauce is
thick and bubbly. Toss with hot fettucini.

this makes like 2 quarts plus of sauce...does it freeze well?
I mean I like pasta and all but at about a cup of sauce per serving this
will take a while to use up.
