Spaghetti

Any good tried and tested recipes?
I love the classic spaghetti with marinara sauce but need something new to make for dinner tonight.

If you only want to use spaghetti pasta:

shrimp with spaghetti
spaghetti and meatballs (you can make a meat sauce instead of meatballs)
spaghetti with, spinach, feta and tomatoes ( more of salad)
spaghetti with garlic, butter, fresh parsley and sun dried tomatoes.

Re: Spaghetti

make rotini with eggplant! its yummylicious :slight_smile:
you can stir in some beef if you want to meat it up but i think the eggplant tastes good on its own! in fact, if i had to add in something, it would be zucchini and mushrooms.

Olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 medium eggplants
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
Fresh basil
1 1-lb package fusilli
salt & pepper
Parmesan Cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Slice eggplant into round slices. Sprinkle one side with salt and allow to stand or 15 minutes. Turn over and repeat. Rinse eggplant and pat dry.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook onion and garlic until starting to turn color, about 5 minutes.
Add eggplant, stirring gently. Cook for 8 minutes, or until somewhat tender.
Dump in canned tomatoes and reduce heat to simmer. Add salt and pepper and simmer until eggplant is tender. Toss in cooked pasta and chopped basil. Stir in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with shaved Parmesan.
