pasta veloce per cena numero 277: il riepilogo / Presto Pasta Nights #277: the roundup

It's Friday and time to share the pasta dishes that I have received as contributions to edition #277 of Presto Pasta Nights, the popular event created by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast. For each contribution, I will give you the official information (author, blog name and post title) and a short quote or brief description — a teaser that invites you to follow the link to read the relevant post.

Sarah of La Cuisine de Sarah prepared Truffle & Mushroom Ravioli
A series on TV inspired "to dust off the old pasta machine. To honour its outing I decided to open the jar of truffle paste I had been saving."

---

Becky of Veghotpot shares with us Summer Courgette Pasta
"The juices from the tomatoes and courgettes make the pasta ‘saucey’ enough to not be dry and the soft mushrooms add another texture."

---

Kathryn of Crafts and Creations with Kmom14 presents Pasta Alfredo
"The sauce has a bit of a nutty flavor from the nutmeg, a bit of tangy flavor from the lemon, and combined with the other ingredients is a filling main dish "comfort" food."

---

Valerie of A Canadian Foodie prepared Serbian Meatballs with the Best Ever Homemade Tomato Sauce — "A frozen package of my always-on-hand and used-to-enhance-so-many-dishes Best Ever Homemade Tomato Sauce was thrown in with the browned balls, a little cream was added" and wide, crimped pasta.

Pam of Sidewalk Shoes presents Penne with Zucchini and Mint
"It’s lovely.  Simple.  Fresh.  Totally encompasses the eat what is in season now.  It’s not a huge show stopper, it’s just simplicity at it’s best."

---

Ruth of Once Upon a Feast prepared Thai-style Chicken & Mushroom Udon Stir-fry 
"I had a plan. Use udon noodles, beet greens and shrimp... this dish was so good my daughter said she had to "drink" the last of the sauce."

---

Simona of briciole presents maccheroni al ferro al sugo (handmade maccheroni with tomato sauce) — A wooden skewer helps shape the maccheroni, which are later dressed with a simple tomato sauce.

---

And that concludes my roundup, which will be added to all the previous Presto Pasta Nights roundups and continue the lovely tradition started by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast.

I know this is not a contest - but YOU WIN! HOLY MOLY does your pasta SING Italy! MAMA-MIA!
The sauce adds the fragrance and the homemade pasta the substance!

So many delicious pasta recipes in one post. Once the heat is gone pasta will be back in my kitchen!!!

To better wed the pasta to the sauce, put the sauce in a broad skillet and heat it while the pasta cooks. Drain the pasta when it's just shy of done and stir it into the skillet before the colander stops dripping completely.Gluten Free Breakfast

Great roundup. Each dish is super delicious and I would love to taste each one of them.

Thank you so much, Valerie, for the vote of confidence. I must admit that I am getting into making various pasta shapes. I have always liked simple tomato sauce best on pasta, so the choice is pretty simple for me.

My pleasure, Ruth.

Thanks, Pam.

Thanks, Lori Lynn.

Hi Val. We are actually experiencing a cooler-than-usual summer, so a hot plate of pasta is welcome.

Thanks, Ivy.

[Simona Carini]

Thanks for the suggestion.
