what's your families favourite pasta dish??

Legacy_user

Hi, i was just wondering what is your fave pasta dish?

I do the usual bolognaise ,meatballs ,lasagne with beef or turkey mince but that's it.

I would love some more cheap and quick ideas for a family of five.

Nothing spicy though as kids won't eat it

Thanks a lot in advance for any ideas

Macaroni with a lump of warm bread straight from the oven?

Use a good strong cheese and you won't need to use loads

Hi there

salami/choritzo pasta bake...discovered by doing one of the "throw it in and see what happens moments":rotfl: great for using up odds n sods and really tasty..and as salami is strong flavoured you don't need much at all

my fave is pesto, add fried mushrooms and its lush!!!

Fry off chopped bacon, onions & peppers in olive oil with some crushed garlic. Add a tin of tomatoes & black pepper and simmer until slightly reduced. you can add mushrooms too, but I only do that if the kids aren't having any! Also nice with a bit of chili powder for some extra kick...

Nice with any sort of pasta.

A bit similar to the above, I have just a little olive oil, fried streaky bacon and a tim of toms and it is really nice and so easy. Also, fried onions, chicken soup and sweetcorn, with or without a little chilli sauce is nice as well. Must do some this week!

Carbonara: cook spaghetti and then toss with egg yolk, cream, parmesan cheese and some crispy bacon. We put some peas in the pasta water.

my dd, hm tomato sauce, dh carbonara (with cream!) ds anything meaty, they all quite like pasta bake (pasta, cheese sauce, plus whatever else is handy!)

Pasta and broccoli bake:

Cook pasta shapes and broccoli. Make a cheese sauce, add grainy mustard and dried oregano. Mix the sauce round the pasta and broccoli and bake for 15-20 at about 200.

Scrummy! Also cheap and meatless
