This is a recipe that I just made up one day for my husband who had just had a lond day at work, and was craving something italian. It turned out great, and we have sense made this recipe two times.

This is from my Food and Wine One Dish meals cookbook. They say to serve this with Sauvignon blanc, especially one from Frances Loire Valley. Looks like a fabulous summer recipe.

Here you can use either thin spaghetti or Angel hair pasta into Chinese noodles. Great for Lo Mein or noodle soup. My Japanese friend who lives in Germany taught me this technique.
Adopted from Recipe Zaar. I haven't made this yet, but will shortly and make any alterations I think need to be made. Serving sizes will depend on how much spaghetti you make.
I've been enjoying spaghetti all my life! Been to Italy, and have tried numerous versions all around the globe including this one which remains my all-time favorite (perfected over the years by yours truly!)....
This Japanese-inspired dish uses one sauce - a sweet/salt combination of mirin and miso - to make both the marinade for the scallops and the caramelized pan sauce for the noodles. A good pairing would...

I found this in the paper quite a few years back. I believe it's a Mr. Food recipe, but it obviously was printed with errors, because my first attempt was a bomb. I fooled around with it and this is what...

Don't tell anyone there is anchovies in this. They will never know since they dissolve and leave behind a wonderful flavor. Serve with a tossed salad and crusty Italian bread for a complete meal.
This is, by far, one of the best "light" recipes I have come across in all the years I have been cooking....I found this way back in the "80's and am still using this favorite. This extremely versatile...
This is so easy to make it's insane! My mother used to get me to throw this together at her house by just telling me what to put in the pan, mix it and put it in the oven. You can add meat if you like,...
