Cooking comp # 22 - Pasta

[sidekickdmr]

Ok, not the most imaginative of compitition but I thought I would take this boring family staple food and see what twists people can come up with!

I already have something in mind,

Lime and tequila chargrilled chicken pasta, it's lovely!

Same rules apply, 4 picture maximum and thread closes on Sunday 8th 22:00!

Cheers

I haven't entered before, what are the rules on entering more than one dish?

[sidekickdmr]

Sorry, only one dish!

Hmmm... decisions decisions!

Ok, here is my entry: Tagliatelle with fresh Morel Mushrooms and a cream sauce.

Finishing stages:

not bad but to get my vote it needs some kind of meat, although mushrooms are good an tastey, they are no substitute for meat.

although I might be persuaded to change my mind if someone can tell me if mushrooms have the same amount of protein as meat.






god its difficult to type when this drunk

Are we also including the usual compusory photo of ingredients to preclude shop bought meals ?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Good one sidekick will have a hunt around to try and find something ive not tryed before.

[calibrax]

Do we actually have to make the pasta itself? or can we use dried pasta...

I can see there being very few entries if we have to make it from scratch!

[sidekickdmr]

Extra points if you do make it yourself but I won't be!

Will be shop brought fresh egg pasta for me!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Yeh might be somewhat limited if you have to make the pasta as I dont have one of the machines either.

Shop bought for me too.

[Bob the Planner]

No machine but I do have a rolling pin and a knife. Would re-post the duck ravioli as I will not be able to cook this weekend but that is not in the normal rules. Pasta is easy once you get the hang of it !

+1. And you can use the machine to make chapattis too!

Considering the 8th May is a Tuesday and the OP says Sunday 8th, I'm going to guess April?

That's waaaay too soon, usually we have 2 weeks...

Aye.

Executive decision - entries in by the 15th. (Of April)

[Pixel-Snapper]

Yeah closing dates normally 2 weekends after its been set so the 15th of April.

Lets all blame Sidekick for not pulling his thumb out his bottem and setting the theme sooner.

[sidekickdmr]

ok 15th it is!

[Bob the Planner]

Easter weekend is out due to cleaning the freezer. Next weekend is out as I'm in Port Macquarie. As I'm on a diet which prohibits mid week carbs after 14:00, I will not be participating
