Recipe ideas that don't use tomato based sauces?

zippychick

Triker - do you have Jamies Ministry of food book? His way of creating pasta sauces is interesting and not all tomato based? He uses cooking water from the pasta along with cheese/etc

he also suggests adding potato shavings in, as it apparently gives the dish a nice creaminess - and apparently this is authentic way of doing things:p

Recipe here or here using creme fraiche. Pasta al pangrattato looks yum too with no sauce

Ooohhh, I will be watching this thread with intrest as I also think tomatoes are the no legged spawn of Satan's bedsit.

I use a lot of pureed veg - mainly greens like spinach or kale for sauces instead I also use a lot of creamed pulses (although this is heavy on pasta, but makes a nice canalloni filling) and squished mushrooms. I tend to make white pizzas with slow cooked onions rather than the red gunk.

This is a good mince dish with no tomatoes.

If you don't want too many cream-based sauces you can make pasta al brodo with a clear soup stock.

And there's always pesto. Stirred into hot pasta with some shavings of parmesan over the top, mmmmm.
