Pick up the late Linda McCartney's cookbook if you don't already have it.
I am a big fan of pasta, and love a bowl of it with a fresh salad on the side! These are a couple of my favorite quick and easy ones -


Linguine with Fresh Tomato Sauce


2 cups seeded, and coarsely chopped tomato


1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil


1 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves, minced


1 cup firmly packed fresh parsley leaves, minced


3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan


3 garlic cloves, or to taste, minced


2 teaspoons salt


1 pound linguine


Fresh parsley to garnish





Make tomato sauce:


In a bowl combine well all the sauce ingredients and let the sauce stand at room temperature, covered, for at least 1 hour.


In large pot, bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and stir to prevent sticking. Return water to boil and cook until pasta is firm but cooked, approximately 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta well. Serve with tomato sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.





And this one is nice by itself or as a side dish:





Lemon Spaghetti


1 pound spaghetti


2/3 cup olive oil


2/3 cup grated Parmesan


1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1 tablespoon lemon zest


1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves





Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.





Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.





Enjoy and Happy New Year!
Take a peeled and cubed zucchini, combine with diced onion, chopped green pepper, 2 gloves minced garlic, 1 tsp oregano and pan fry in very small amount of olive oil (just so that veggies don't stick) until veggies soften. Add a packet of the dry spaghetti sauce mix. Keep adding water until it is the desired consistency. Serve over cooked pasta of your choice
