PASTA WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
• Using a mortar and pestle, mash the salt and garlic cloves together into a paste. Warm the yogurt slightly in a sauce pan. Remove a small amount of warmed yogurt from the pan, and stir together with the garlic paste. Stir this mixture into the remaining yogurt
• Drain the pasta, and rinse in cold water. Place in a casserole or deep serving dish, toss with 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Toss with half of the garlic-yogurt sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the pasta. Garnish with the parsley.
• For a very special dish, brown the pine nuts in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Pour over the parsley. Serve immediately.

QUICK AND CHEAP PASTA

Steps:

• Have some boiling water, with salt and one of those chicken stock cubes in it and a tablespoon of butter.
• When it starts to boil, add the Spaghetti or any other type of pasta.
• After about 10-15 minutes, the pasta should be cooked (try it and see if its not hard) Remove the water, stir a little bit with a fork (don't squish it!) and let it dry for about one minute. You can eat the pasta like this it's good, but you'll be fed up with it in no time, so, the solution I found is to add some nice sauce: Start making the sauce about 5 minutes after the pasta's been boiling Have some oil or olive oil on a frying pan or a small pan.
• Add half an onion cut into little pieces.
• When the onion starts to get transparent and soft add a little bit of concentrated tomato, just about 4-5 table spoons.
• Stir (have the fire set to LOW) Add half a cup of water and stir again.
• Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, lemon juice, and any sort of seasoning you like, and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
• And there, you have your basic sauce recipe, if you're vegan, just pour it over the pasta, it's very tasty.
• If you're not vegan you'll soon get fed up with this to, to solve that problem, simply add whatever you want to the sauce, it's excellent with canned tuna, mushrooms, fish leftovers, meat, ham, really ANYTHING you like! And the great thing is that the sauce has a completely different taste depending on what you add to it. I hope this helps :)

PASTA WITH YOGURT PESTO

Steps:

• First make the pesto. Place the walnut pieces, garlic, lemon zest and herbs in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
• Gradually add the yogurt to form a smooth sauce. Season with a little black pepper. Chill in the fridge until required. This will keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Trim the asparagus tips. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the packet instructions.
• Five minutes before the end, heat a large frying pan and add the chilli flakes, bouillon powder and water. Stir to dissolve the powder then toss in the asparagus tips and saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Drain the spaghetti and tip into the frying pan with the lemon juice. Pour over the pesto sauce and toss thoroughly.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges and salad. For additional flavour you could sprinkle over a little freshly grated parmesan cheese.
