its ok, i am sure you have things more important than amusing me :)

fengtau, what kind of pasta does your wife normally like?
 
If by "white creamy" you mean pasta alfredo, I (used to) make a very acceptable shrimp alfredo, if I do say so myself. One could easily substitute chicken or any other meat, although the non-red meats suit best. Instant artery clogger though, the way I made it, so it's not exactly for today's diets. I'll see about putting it up later for anyone who is feeling adventurous.
 
a basic alfredo is really easy.

*stir constantly*

melt 2/3 tbsp of butter in a pan, add a cup of HEAVY cream. add a quarter cup of asiago cheese and a quarter of parmesan. you don't need asiago, but it makes it better! you can use all parm if that is all you have. do NOT use preshredded cheeese, it does not melt well. i like to drop a few chunks of garlic in there for a bit of flavor, and remove em later. salt, pepper, and a bit of fresh parsley at the end. i always keep some shredded parm on the table with the meal also.

mmm some noodles, meat and fresh bread, and it is AWESOME. so easy too.
 
another easy dish i make a lot, for the veggie pasta you requested:

saute red onion, and garlic.
add in some red bell pepper and green bell pepper and maybe some mushrooms if you like. cook a few minutes. pour over a can of diced tomatoes and add some basil, salt and pepper.

serve over thin spaghetti/angel hair and sprinkle with parmesan.

really easy, and i usually have everything on hand as they are common ingredients in my house.

god i freaking love pasta. i could eat it every day! i wish i could get into the shirataki noodles :( i would lose so much weight.
 
welcome! i am not much of a chef, (thank the goddess, i would be a cow. moo) but pasta and a white meat a few fresh seasonings and a basic sauce and cheese is really easy and yummy! and it is fun to experiment.

my kitchen is decorated with an italian flair, and i would LOVE to take a few lessons in italian cooking. i think i need to pick up some recipe books, if anyone has any good recommendations, let me know.
 
ok chem, since you like those, i made an awesome shrimp scampi a few times, also really easy and delish...

unfortunately, both times it came out great but i didn't save the recipe. i usually just wing it or try to be different each time and go back to allrecipes.com for a new one.

but basically, it was similar to this...

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Shrimp-Scampi-V/Detail.aspx

though i recall adding a bit of cream to the recipe.

and be careful, the shrimp cooks very quickly!

also, it is worth the money to let the fish guy devein it for you :)


damn this thread, we are having pasta tonight.
 
do any of you UK BLers have a recipe for jugged hare?

i am looking for a recipe similar to the one featured on bizarre foods, which used hare's blood to thicken the sauce. google is not being very helpful this evening...

also, do hare and rabbit differ greatly in taste? i don't normally eat wild game but have been asked to help prepare a meal.

Check your PM box. And yes. Hare is stronger in flavor than farm-raised rabbit.

not getting the secrecy. does this recipe involve tryptamines and phenylalanines? if not, post it here also, please. i am intrigued by foreign crap.
 
^i am fairly sure it wasn't posted due to the fact that it is copyrighted... its essentially a stewed hare with veggies in a red wine broth.

Well I've come a long way since that post. I can't believe it has been 3 years since I posted that. I'm a much better cook now and am pretty good with a grill.

Right now I'm a very busy senior student (18 credit hours) who needs to cook quickly and easy.

So with that I'll share:

Grilled Pita Pizzas:

What you need: Mozarella (either grated or sliced), Basil, Whatever toppings you like, Pizza or Pasta sauce, Pitas either white or whole wheat, Olive Oil

1. Start grill, at medium
2. Spread a little olive oil on the bottom of the pita. Your going to want to lay the pita flat.
3. Spread pizza sauce
4. Add Cheese, toppings and basil (its best if fresh, and its optional)
5. Place pizza on the grill, your only gonna need a few minutes.
6. When its cooked to your liking take of and then enjoy.

I prefer a crisped bottom, but some people like to take it off as soon as the cheese melts.

One of my favorite ways to prepare this is with fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, pizza sauce and sliced mozzarella. When I was in Naples, the birth place of pizza I was told that it was done in order to represent the Italian flag. I don't know if thats true but its damn good.


You can do a campfire version of this if skilled with tin foil. It took me awhile but I got it down. Or you can just put the sauce, toppings,cheese on the inside of a pita and cover with foil but I don't think its that good. I worked at a camp every summer for 4 years and we made this all the time.

This can be a snack, a side, a meal or an appetizer.
