Pasta!

Post by community member:

Pasta, a staple food in Italy, is popular worldwide. Pasta is simply flour (durum wheat in Italy), water, and sometimes eggs–a very basic staple food that can extend a food budget tremendously. It can be fresh, dried, or frozen, depending on how you would like it. And even though “pasta” is traditionally an Italian food, your meal doesn’t have to be Italian…many call them noodles 🙂

Armed with a good pasta/noodle recipe (rolled out by hand or with a pasta machine) and some simple meal plans, supper can be made quickly and cheaply.

There are over 600 shapes and sizes of pasta around the world. Be rebellious–if a recipe calls for macaroni, macaroni noodles don’t have to be used, use a regular noodle!

  • I’ve been working on a once-a-month(or every two week)-cooking plan. I’ve added quite a few of these pasta meals to my menu. A couple pasta/noodle dishes a week really stretches the budget and the meals. All of the pasta can be made at once and frozen or made into the recipes.

    Cindy thanks for the post, we love homemade pasta and your pictures made me want to get out the pasta machine and go to work. I particularly like to make lasagna or cannelloni style noodles as we find the commercial ones too thick and heavy. I did have a hand cranked machine that was supposed to make macaroni but I gave it to Good Will after spending two days last winter working with it. The macaroni noodles I managed to turn out were much too tough and I wonder if any one else has had better luck.
