With all the recipes for dried pasta out there, we decided it would be the ideal theme for this week's SWAT (Sharing With A Theme). We put the Culinary Content Network and our staff to the test to come up with store bought pasta recipes, and here are some of the highlights:
- Kristine Cocchiarella from Real Food Girl Unmodified shared with us her recipe for chicken pasta primavera. This recipe is loaded with fresh vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and topped with toasty pine nuts.
- Anna Voloshyna from Divine Cuisine shared with us her recipe for a classic pappardelle pasta that she elevated with a creamy cheese sauce and black truffles.
- The winner this week is Peter Block from Feed Your Soul Too. Block's recipe for tomato, basil, and garlic pasta is perfect for a quick homemade dinner with loads of fresh aromatics and herbs.
All of the recipes featured can be made at home for about $20 or less, excluding the cost of small amounts of basic ingredients such as butter, oil, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, and other dried herbs and spices.
