Prepare a Flavorful Pasta with These Main Ingredients

There are limitless ways to prepare pasta. Whether you want it loaded with meat or packed with veggies, the list of the ingredients will be endless, including those that will be mentioned in the rest of this post. 

Hard Cheeses 

If you go to the best restaurants Nomad, especially those that are known for their pasta dishes, you will see that they have a wide selection of hard cheeses that mix well with pasta, including parmesan. It has minimal moisture content and is known for its robust flavor. A sprinkle of cheese on the top can make a huge difference in the taste of your pasta.

Tomato 

Stay away from canned tomato, despite the fact that they are convenient. I suggest that you go for fresh and ripe tomatoes. Sun Dried tomatoes will also be great. Keep your pasta straightforward. Spaghetti with tomato and basil will surely be great. It is a simple recipe, but it is sure to tickle the taste buds of those who prefer to keep things simple. This reminds me of one of my favorite dishes in Scarpetta, my go-to restaurant in New York.

Avocado 

This might be a shock for those who like their food traditional, but adding avocado in pasta is a great way to make it creamy in the absence of using cream, milk, or cheese. More than being flavorful, this is also an excellent choice for those who like their food healthy. To make the avocado pasta more flavorful, add cilantro and lime juice.

Prosciutto 

This thinly-sliced cured Italian ham is another classic when it comes to pasta ingredients, especially those with white sauces. It looks like bacon. It is salty and flavorful, making it a standout in simple recipes. When using it in pasta, make sure to slice it thinly. If it is thick, it will be difficult to chew.

Prawns 

If you love seafood on your pasta, prawn is the main ingredient that should be on the top of the list. Whether it is with tomato, cream, garlic, or chili, among other ingredients, you will love prawns in your pasta. It is a good way to give your food a Mediterranean twist.

Garlic 

This is one of the most common ingredients in pasta. In fact, many of the pasta recipes won’t be complete without adding garlic. It gives a distinct flavor and aroma that will make the dish more mouthwatering. If you want it simple, mix pasta, garlic, and olive oil! Simple but delicious!

Pesto

An original sauce from Italy, pesto is another ingredient that can instantly add flavor to any pasta. You can use it on its own or combine it with other ingredients. Pesto has four main ingredients – basil, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan. The combination of these will create a fresh and green flavor in your pasta.

With the ingredients mentioned above, you can easily create a delicious pasta at home! No need to make things completed. No special equipment required! Choose the right ingredients for a more flavorful treat.
