I need a better name for my impromptu pasta dishes other than "Anything in the Fridge." It doesn't really flow off the tongue well, you know?
The three dishes I'm talking about are:
Two weeks ago, I made pasta with my friend Erin. We basically added sharp cheddar cheese, butter, garlic salt and cayenne pepper to penne pasta. I think I put in too much garlic salt, and the cheese didn't melt well. But it was passably tasty for dinner and I got to use some questionable cheese before it went bad.
Then earlier this week, I made more penne pasta (I like penne), and all I did was add some tuna. Granted, it was this pre-seasoned tuna made with lemon pepper. It wasn't bad. I still have some tomato basil tuna, so in a week ('cause, you know, mercury) I'm probably gonna try that one with pasta.
And just a few moments ago, I made some sauteed onion and garlic to add into (more) penne pasta, along with butter and parmesan cheese. Best one so far. I feel a bit like I cheated, though, 'cause mom was here to tell me not to put the onion in the water, and informed me how to saute.
Also Erin introduced me to Woodchuck Hard Cider and it is awesomesauce. I'm drinking one right now.
It Also Stands For Due Diligence

Well, if you can swing a cookbook, I'd say go get Alton Brown's "I'm just here for the food" because he goes into technique... how to saute, how to braise, how to sear, etc and why and where you want to use these techniques...
And catch his show "Good Eats" on the Food Network... he knows his stuff and is funny as hell as well as educational. :)
Why can I not subscribe to your bloooooog. I am mad.
