the very first dish i mastered... my comfort food...

I really liked the taste of Chicken Tomato Cream in, so I decided to make a pasta version, adding bacon and soy sauce.Stir-frying the garlic until fragrant, and fry the chicken and bacon until well browned for optimal flavor.It's rather rich, so you can lighten the sauce by diluting the cream with milk (4:1, for example).White wine is good, but if you don't have any, use sake.

I asked my husband to make me dinner one night. This is what he came up with. A sweeter pasta, great for kids.

I currently have nothing in my fridge so this is a perfect meal if you are scrounging for ingredients!

Easy, Authentic, and Delicious

I was experimenting with my mother do to a fusion of marinara sauce and kidney beans and it was a success! It turned out amazing and was just as good as it looks!

I wanted to cook pasta with celery, so I combined it with anchovy.If you add salt at Step 5, the pasta might get too dry, so it is better to add pasta water than salt. Recipe by Orange Day

A simply flavored sauce that our family never gets tired of.Herb selection basics:Basil and parsley have a fresh flavor that goes with almost everything. Use bay leaf and celery for simmered dishes. Use rosemary and nutmeg for meat dishes. Oregano is great for seafood. Change it up and find your best combination of seasonings and spices!More variation examples:Increase the chili pepper to make arrabiata sauce.Add canned tuna and capers, and use oregano instead of basil to make pasta al tonno e pomodoro.Add cubed potatoes to make paste e patate.Add pancetta (or bacon and black olives).You can also add deep fried eggplant or other vegetables as you like.

Eggplant and bacon with tomato sauce pasta is a staple combination, but I wondered how it would be with zucchini, so I tried it out.Because there's already garlic in the tomato sauce, it's fine to omit it while sauteing the vegetables.Once the zucchini and bacon are sauteed, boil the pasta.Use whatever cheese you like. Melting cheese is best. Recipe by Yukijirushi

There are so many tomato sauce recipes, but I just couldn't find the one for me, so I've been making this with trial and error.Add the honey (or oligosaccharide sweetener) while tasting. If you cook the pasta just right, the residual heat of the pasta will warm up the sauce. It's a bit of a reduced sauce, so if using regular pasta, add more tomatoes. Recipe by Mariave-ru

This is my husband's signature dish. He makes it quickly and efficiently for us.The pasta is already salted, so don't over salt the sauce.If using dried herbs, add at Step 6. If using fresh herbs, add at Step 8.This is also delicious with asparagus, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, shellfish, canned tuna, shrimp, anchovies, and so on. For 3 serving. Recipe by one_k
