Pasta with Peas and Ham in a Broth.

Adding pasta to a soup is a long-held way of adding bulk to simple flavours and this pasta with peas and ham in broth recipe embraces that idea to create a satisfyingly simple but filling dish for early spring!

My latest recipe of Pea, Bacon and Pasta Soup may sound unusual but it is actually based on an old Italian recipe of pasta squares and peas in broth.

Individual Rigatoni Pasta Pie

Yes, I know it is not really a pie, but hey it is my rigatoni pasta pie… Rigatoni standing to attention with a balsamic tomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan and wilted spinach!

It would seem that pasta pies are typically designed for those with larger families because all of the recipes I could find were to feed an army. When I say an army I probably mean many small mouths as the appearance is definitely kid friendly, however as an adult I like a bit of fun food on occasion too!

Balsamic Mushroom Pasta

Few flavours go together like balsamic and mushrooms so this super simple mushroom pasta is a pretty safe bet on the flavour front, but it is just fantastic. It does not matter what is happening or how the day has gone it is one of those dishes that requires the cooking skill of a house brick to pull together and always tastes like a million dollars despite costing pennies.

Bucatini All Amatriciana

So apparently it is a big day on Monday and we all need quick dinners right now, Bucatini all’Amatriciana is a classic pasta dish from the Lazio region of Italy and it is seriously tasty… Hard to believe you can pack this many hardcore flavours into a dish in juts 20 minutes whilst cooking everything from scratch!

Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta

Lemon chicken is such a popular flavour combination and one I have used at length here on krumpli and this creamy lemon chicken pasta dish is another play on that idea and a really tasty one…

Pot Roast Rabbit Pasta

This simple pot roast rabbit pasta is the third rabbit dish I have here on Krumpli and if any of them will convert you it is this one. You will not believe the clean but magical flavours that just scream out of this most unassuming of dishes.

Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi in a Caper Butter Sauce

These ricotta cheese gnocchi are the altogether lighter, quicker and much more simple than their potato gnocchi brethren. I like to serve them with a simple lemon, caper and butter sauce.

What, what, what, homemade gnocchi in 25 minutes and they are not store bought… Tell me more you say? Ok the answer is ricotta cheese gnocchi!

Roasted Garlic Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Spinach

Roasted garlic is a beautiful thing and roasted garlic spaghetti is even better, add some simply seared tomatoes, a bit of spinach and loads of black pepper and you are away.

Let’s face it pasta is so popular because it is awesome, it just lends itself to simple cooking and this roasted garlic spaghetti is just that, simple and elegant but with a bucket load of flavour.

Pesto Spaghetti with Peas and Goats Cheese

Pesto spaghetti is given a new breath of life with some peas, goats cheese and some extra pine nuts, to make a quick pasta dinner.

Time for the folk who don’t like goats cheese to run away again as this simple Pesto Spaghetti with Peas and Goats Cheese goes in for it in a big way.

Tomato Consomme with Tortellini

This recipe will probably taste more of tomatoes than anything else you have ever eaten, the tomato consomme in this simple pasta dish is pure perfection!

Whether you call this tomato consomme, tomato broth, tomato brodo, tomato bouillon it is and will be the most intensely tomato flavoured stuff you have ever tried, obviously I skipped calling it tomato stock as it is not ‘cooked with tomato bones’ so it can’t be a stock
