Cook pasta per instructions. I've used spinach linguini, vermicelli, or whatever.





Chop onions and saute in olive oil and butter (garlic if you want); add oregano, thyme, or whatever you like, salt, pepper; grate zucchini into it when the onions are near done.





Dump the pasta in, and add Parmesan.





OR onion, garlic, bell pepper sauteed with salt and pepper. Add tomato sauce, oregano, bay leaf, sage, thyme (whatever spices you like); add veggies (zucchini, spinach). Red wine. Cook pasta per instructions.





Put pasta on plate, add cottage cheese, sauce, and Parmesan. (This is a nice one-dish meal.)





OR,





3 cans of consume and a little water. Cook vermicelli in that. In a really large bowl that can hold hot liquid without self-destructing, butter (half a cube or so) a LOT of Parmesan, and an egg yolk.





When pasta is ready add a little liquid to the bowl and stir until the stuff melts. Dump in the rest of the pasta and liquid. Add milk. If you want, you can reheat. Serve with good bread and salad.
I usually put grilled chicken in this but it's great without.





Angel hair pasta


Your favorite pesto sauce ( if you don't make one, the Knorr pesto sauce in the packet is great! add water and olive oil)


Fresh broccoli, mushrooms,onion, and garlic


Parmesan cheese





Make the pesto sauce ( use jarred if you like, I've never met a pesto I didn't like) Set aside. Saute a small bunch of broccoli, mushrooms, onion and garlic in some olive oil. While sauteing, cook angel hair pasta. When pasta is done, toss with the veggies, pesto sauce and top with Parmesan cheese.Serve with a salad and some garlic bread and pop open a bottle of white wine!
2 tins chopped tomatoes


1 medium onion


3 peppers - one each of red, yellow, and green, cut into strips


One can tuna (if you don't eat fish omit this)


Basil, oregano, fresh black pepper


1 tsp sugar


Parmesan cheese, to serve


Olive oil





Chop the onion and fry gently until soft in the olive oil.


Add the chopped tomatoes (in their juice), the peppers, and the seasonings and sugar. Simmer.


Put on the pasta to cook.


Add the tuna if using.


Make sure everything is heated through and softened.


Grate the parmesan, drain the pasta, and serve with the sauce.


Enjoy!
Here there are some without meat such as penne alla pizzaiola, aglio olio and peperoncino, tuna and olives, tuna and capers, tuna and mushrooms, pesto and, if you want to try something longer but delicious, mushrooms lasagne :)





Hope you find something helpful for you!
