@ Gwynhuever: Thanks. Karon lang man gud ko kita ani na topic.

Yes! Rigatoni & Farfalle sound interesting... Ngayo ko recipe beh..

[Gwynhuever]

For Rigatoni (also known as big ribs) the best sauce nga mo complement will be sturdy sauces with big flavors like puttanesca sauce or shrimp and fresh chili peppers sauce....recipes below:

Puttanesca Sauce (enough for 1 pound pasta):

Heat in a large skillet over medium heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, then add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 dried red chili pepper. Cook about 30 seconds crushing the pepper with back of ladle. Stir in 1 cup coarsely chopped black olives, 6 anchovy fillets (previously soaked in water for approx 5 min) and 1/2 tsp oregano. Cook for another 30 seconds or so then stir in 1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes (peeled if desired, seeded and chopped) or you can use one 28 ounce can whole tomatoes with juice crushed between your fingers as you add them to the pan. Simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens - about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 tbsps packed minced fresh parsley and 2 tbsps drained capers. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Shrimp and Fresh Chili Peppers (enough for 4 main course servings):

This will be ready in the time it takes to boil the pasta!
Heat in a large skillet over medium heat 1/4 cup olive oil. Add and cook until garlic turns blond: 8 cloves chopped garlic, minced zest of 1 orange (optional - kon gusto kanaa pleasant zing imo sauce!) , 1 to 2 mild to hot fresh chili peppers (seeded and diced). Then add 1 pound shrimp (peeled,deveined and diced). Cook , stirring approx 3 minutes. Remove about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and stir into the shrimp. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

i will post the farfalle stuff next....lami ang puttanesca sauce sis....one of my favorites

Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil (Aglio e Olio) - 4 main course servings

1 dried red chili pepper (optional)
3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
salt and ground pepper to taste
