Favorite Pasta recipes!!

[Mimi in Maine]

I truly love Italian food, especially........all of it. But, the newest recipe that I have tried about 3 months ago was Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti.

I have always made my own sauce and for some reason or other I was getting tired of it. It seemed to be watery at times when you put it on the plate with the pasta. I always made it the same but....! Then I started trying other sauces and couldn't come up with one I was happy with, until I tried Jo Mama's. My husband and I both loved it. And it STICKS to your pasta. It doesn't run around your plate in semi-liquid. It always comes out the same and tastes the same. Of course, I do follow the recipe except I put in half hamburg and half Italian sweet sausage (it calls for all sausage). It is very thick and yummy. Even my daughter who isn't crazy about tomato sauces, likes it. She has even made it and invited us over for supper (she used all sausage and it was still great).

So at this moment I can say that is my favorite even though I love it all--and I'm not even Italian.

Hello Katie in the UP,

I have two recipes for you that I have used in my restaurant in the past. It has been taste tested by hundreds of patrons and always gotten the best ever. The downside is there wont be any leftovers. LOL. "Italian Lasagna" and "Italian Baked Ziti (Authentic)"

Aglio Olio e Peperoncini for me!

A no cook recipe perfect for the hot weather, just use best olive oil, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes and some parsley. Cook your pasta and toss in the bowl! LOL first time i cooked it in canada for a boyfriend he asked where the sauce was

Here is the one on zaar that resembles mine.

I would love to have the recipe for your Spaghetti Carbonara. This is my daughter's favorite dish and I am having trouble finding a really good recipe. She tried it at work and I know it had sauted onion slices in it.

My favorite pasta recipe right now is my homemade Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe. There are similar recipes posted here on 'Zaar. The differences between those posted and mine are, I made my own pasta, I added toasted slivered almonds and I shaved the Parmesan. I will post the recipe shortly if anyone wants me to.
