re: SAUCELESS spaghetti ideas?

Quoting Erin Weyer:" i toss mine in olive oil with some parm cheese, garlic powder and diced tomatoes (juice drained and rinsed) My husband loves it."

i do this too! and sometimes i ad some artichokes to it too.

i also make what i call "pregnancy pasta" because i came up with it when i was pregnant with my daughter, lol. i saute garlic, some diced onion, and sliced black olives in a pan. i add a little cooking wine, some black pepper and red pepper flakes, and let that reduce a little on the stove. then i toss in some broccoli (i'm lazy and i used frozen, so it's usually partially cooked in the micro first) and some imitation crab and/or lobster meat, and let that cook a little. then i add the pasta (that i have tossed generously with olive oil and maybe a small pat of butter   ), and then mix it all together nicely and add any extra salt (bc the cooking wine is salted already) or pepper if it needs it.

i also love this recipe

Quoting ~~My Pet Wussy~~:" Toss pasta around in warm bacon grease, not a ton, just a bit, until it's coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan ... [snip!] ... and crumbled bacon. Even better with mushrooms sautéed in the bacon grease. It has a fancy name but I have no idea what it is."

oh dear lord. that sounds tasty

Ha, I made myself hungry.

we do 2 pretty easy pasta dishes. one is just olive oil, minced fresh garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss with a veggie and/or a protein and its pretty tasty. A drizzle of balsamic reduction is amazing with it too!

the other is a compromise on alfredo. hubby loves it-i hate it. reduce 1 cup chicken stock and 1/4 cup white wine down to half then add half a block of cream cheese. I melt it in the microwave a little and add some italian seasonings and parm-but its tasty without it. toss with pasta and add veggie/meat. We usually do the smoked turkey sausage with it-but its tasty with chicken too!

i'll definitely be making it soon   the kind i made last night (just italian breadcrumbs, olive oil, parmesan, etc etc) the kids DEVOURED.

Would you consider a Pesto? I don't consider it a sauce, but some people might lol
