Buttered Noodles
Simple yet delightful, Buttered Noodles require just a few ingredients: butter, pasta, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper for the desired flavor. Prepare your pasta in boiling, heavily salted water. Once cooked, drain and mix in 6 tablespoons of butter and 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper as per taste. Easy to prepare in the comfortable kitchen spaces offered at The Preserve at Spring Creek, this dish is both quick and oh-so-satisfying.
Aglio Olio
Despite its simplicity, Aglio Olio delivers bold flavors with ingredients like garlic and chili flakes. Begin by heating 1/2 cup of olive oil in a pan. Add slivers of 6 garlic cloves, cooking until they turn golden. Introduce 1/2 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Finally, mix in 8 oz of cooked spaghetti, ensuring it absorbs the flavorful olive oil. Sprinkle parmesan and chopped parsley for an aromatic touch.
Pasta al Limone
Creamy pasta with a citrus twist, Pasta al Limone (Lemon Pasta) offers just that. Start by combining the zest of a lemon with 3/4 cup of heavy cream. Cook until the mixture simmers, gradually whisking in 6 tablespoons of butter until silky and smooth. Blend in 12 oz of spaghetti, finishing it off with lemon juice and salt. A sophisticated meal perfect for a relaxing evening in your luxurious Tomball, Texas residence.
Pesto Pasta
With a jar of pesto and freshly cooked pasta, pesto pasta can transform into a gourmet meal. After boiling the pasta, blend some pasta water into the store-bought pesto sauce until it reaches the desired consistency. Coat the pasta thoroughly with this sauce and season with salt, pepper, or a hint of crushed chili flakes. For a richer taste, sprinkle crushed pine nuts on top.
Canned Tuna Pasta
Pasta is versatile and pairs well with proteins like canned tuna. To make a delightful Canned Tuna Pasta, use olive oil as your base. Heat the oil, stirring in minced garlic until fragrant. Combine the garlic with canned tuna, mixing in chopped parsley, lemon juice, and seasoning to taste. Perfect for a quick protein boost after using the 24-hour fitness zone right within your community.
