Ok I'll share my easy to go pasta. I have another good recipe but I think it's too hard for me to explain in English [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'll add a pics of ingredients because I am not entirely sure of names at times, and pics are fun... 1 pound is about 500 grams for conversion.

The Pasta (very filling, and everyone loves it. serves 4)

400 grams of pasta
400 grams of tomato sauce
1 onion
250 grams of mushrooms
1 prei?
1 red paprika?
250-400 grams of minced beef
1 bottle of wine
Spices - oregan and basil


Pasta 400g:


Tomato sauce 400g:



Onion:


Mushrooms


prei thingy:


Paprika thingy:


Minced beef


Oregan


Basil


Prepare pasta as usual. Cut off rooty end of prei, take off the outside cover of it, then cut in circles until you reach a bit that is too green, then take off 2 more layers and cut off a little more. Cut circles through half, and wash and rinse. Cut mushrooms the way you like them. Then, when you start making the sauce, bake/cook the beef and mushrooms in 2 seperate pans. Prepare the beef in such a way that it's done properly (can't really mess it up.) When the mushrooms are being cooked, after the pan has become a little watery and some of the water evaporated, throw in about a glass of red wine. Then add the prei, paprika and onion (which should also be prepared of course). When those have had a bit of heat, add the tomato sauce and beef, let it heat up some, throw in another glass of red wine, add the spices and it will be done soon.

This is pretty easy to make but it tastes very good. Red wine makes pasta much better in my opinion.

And the paprika, you cut it in pieces, remove the green, the seeds, and the yellow bits inside...

3 ingredients: Pasta (I prefer penne), a jar of good sauce (some kind of basil/garlic/oregano/3 cheese whatever [censored] with some flavor), and a package of Italian sausage (mild or hot to your liking).

[/ QUOTE ]
I made this tonight. I used chicken-sausage, because I don't dig on swine, and I sauteed onions with the meat, but otherwise as you described.

Definitely very good. My local international-market sells loose sausage as well as cased, so I used loose in the sauce with a whole sausage on the side. I had a "Hot" sausage, and got my girlfriend a "Mild" one.

Steamed spinach made the meal healthy, and it was a fast, good weekday dinner.

Sorry my camera phone sucks. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
