A Pasta Dish For Special Occasions And Any Occasion

By:


Who does not love pasta? It is served in so many ways, by so many different types of cultures. Sure, we watch the carbohydrates, but you can make a pasta dish that is good for you and does not add to your weight. There are many of these dishes.

But pasta by itself is merely starch. It needs a sauce, and it needs a protein. And if you stick to that idea, you can make a dozen pasta meals in your head in one minute.

Beef, lamb, chicken, pork, and fish can be added to the macaroni in so many ways that you might not even have ever heard of. Everyone has heard of meatballs, but you can also make meatballs with ground lamb, or ground veal. They will each have different flavors and if cooked with your sauce, your sauce will have a deliciously different flavor, as well.

Chicken can accompany pasta in different ways, as well. There is chicken parmesan, and also alfredo sauce with pasta and chicken is delicious. You can make the pasta a fettucini, or tortellini, or even some egg noodles. Different variations will make your dishes more interesting. And if you add some broccoli florets to the pasta water, it is even healthier.

There are different types of sausages that you can use, too. Like there is hot Italian sausage and sweet Italian sausage. Both have very distinct flavors, and if you make them in the sauce, the sauce will take on the flavor of the sausage. If you are used to making a meat sauce from ground, browned beef, you might want to try some crumbled browned Italian sausage instead.

Shrimp can be combined with a ravioli dish that is wonderful. You might want to try a condensed cream of mushroom soup, with just a little milk added. This is a variation of alfredo sauce and works well with shrimp, or even with chunks of cod.

Red sauce, white sauce, or gravy will be your decision to make for each of the new and exciting pasta dishes you can now create. You can try a type of gravy with some Swedish meatballs and maybe some egg noodles. That is also a great, healthy meal for you and your family. And if you love Chinese and Mexican foods, well, rice is also a type of pasta. This should open up a world of additional recipes for you to try for a new pasta dish a week.
