Recipe: Ideas for Pasta Dishes
Categories: Home cookin
Yield: 4 Servings
I asked on the Internet for help in preparing pasta without tomatoes. Margie Heisler <hei6@hotmail.com> replied: "I have a variety of ways to make pasta delicious without the use of tomato sauce. Try a little pesto or possibly some olive oil and various Italian herbs. Add any additional ingredients you would have in the house ... vegetables, leftover chicken ... etc. It can make a plain pasta dish really special and only takes minutes to prepare!"
Kelly Grigg <kgrigg@acxiom.com> said: "Hmm - you might try using tomatillos .. it's the green tomato like fruit (?) that is used a lot in Mexican cooking ... partiularly green salsas. I may be wrong, but I think I read once that it is NOT a relation of the tomato. It can be found in many grocery stores these days, usually near the fresh peppers. It is the size of a large cherry tomato, and is covered by a leathery leafy husk that you pull away to reveal what looks like a small green tomato, The taste is sharper than a tomato, but I really like them. If you'd like, I can look for a good tomatillo salsa recipe for you. "Anyway, you might research this one ... you will miss out on the great red color of the tomato, but might get a similar taste without the problems."
And Chris Palmer <cpalmer@dingo.webo.dg.com> said "... try your pureed apricot/peaches idea with something like tamarind liquid and/or pomegranate molasses added."
