Spaghetti Cold Noodle Salad

The Best Cold Spaghetti

This is it. This is the one you’ve been looking for. A Cold Noodle Salad recipe that puts the others to shame because its got the right balance of flavors. Not to mention, it’s made with spaghetti. I’m talking about a side dish that can be eaten as the main course, instead, it’s so good. Every bite you discover a new twist because it’s made with fresh ingredients. Most pasta dishes make you feel stuffed and bloated but this cold spaghetti recipe keeps it light and oddly fulfilling. My wife and I always fight over the last serving.

The Secret to this Dish

The flavors that make this Spaghetti Cold Noodle Salad unique come from several different flavors. First, Garlic infused Olive oil. Second, Bacon. Third, Parmesan Cheese and the Fourth, of course, is fresh chopped vegetables.

In this recipe I add green onion, Roma tomatoes, fresh broccoli, black olives but you can add any other vegetable you like. Zucchini or Cucumber is a nice additive or substitution. Mayonnaise and olive oil make up the bulk of the dressing with chopped garlic and salt but, you can add fresh Basil or mint, maybe even a squeeze of lemon juice if you’d like to spruce it up even more. It’s up to you.

There aren’t any additional spices or fresh herbs but I could see some Italian seasoning or Herbs De Province adding a nice touch. Even a pinch of Cayenne might not hurt. Just be sure to season with Salt and Pepper to your tastes and you’ll enjoy a wonderful summer salad. And, though this recipe calls for spaghetti, this recipe is great with other dried pasta’s as well; Penne, Butterflies, Shells or classic Elbow Macaroni are all fine examples.

Ramen Spaghetti Pizza

Cheap and Delicious Recipes

Thanks to COVID-19, all around the world, we’re all in quarantine, trying to figure out how to make our food storage last. If you’re like me, you probably stocked up on dry food storage items like Ramen noodles. Maybe you’re already tired of eating them so, here’s a fun little food hack that I think you’ll appreciate that is surprisingly delicious and it’s called Ramen Spaghetti Pizza.

Sapporo Ichiban Japanese style noodles & chicken flavored soup.

What is Ramen Spaghetti Pizza

Ramen Spaghetti Pizza is exactly what it sounds like; cooked ramen baked with spaghetti and pizza ingredients, including sauce, cheese and pepperoni.

At first this was a failed recipe because I was just trying to figure out how to make Ramen Pizza. I already knew that the noodles should be pan fried on both sides first, to make a decent crust, but I found people online claiming that the baking alone was enough. Well, I definitely debunked that theory because all I was left with was a baked spaghetti with pizza toppings. But, you know what, it was delicious. No, really, it tastes incredible. $2 dollars worth of ingredients shouldn’t taste this good so, I’m rolling with it and I really think you should give it try, too.

How to make Pasta – Ravioli Sheets, Fettuccine and Angel Hair Pasta

How to Make Pasta Tutorial

I’ve been wanting to show you how to make pasta for quite some time now. Mostly because I have yet to see a real good video tutorial that shows you, step by step, exactly how to do it. So I put together this “fool proof” recipe that will teach you how to make the dough, understand it’s texture and know for sure when it is ready. Once you understand this concept, you will make great pasta. With out it, you will fail and most likely end up frustrated or, worse, possibly end up hating the whole procedure altogether But the fact is, fresh pasta tastes 10 times better than dehydrated and once you see how easy this is you’ll never go back.

Another great thing about this recipe and the way I show you how to make pasta is that you can freeze the noodles in bunch’s or the dough in bulk. And if you want to defeat the purpose of making fresh pasta, in the first place, you can hang the noodles out on a rack and let them dry, if you want, when they’re done.

This, “How to make Pasta” video recipe will show you how to make Ravioli or Lasagna Noodle sheets first, then Fettuccine and Angel Hair Pasta. If you’re interested in some of my sauce recipes for these noodles check out my Alfredo Sauce(Olive Garden’s), Lobster Ravioli Sauce and my Alfredo and Cheese Sauce.

How to make Pasta Ingredients:

2 cups Flour, all purpose
3 Eggs, large
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 pinch Salt

Add a few drops of water, to the dough, as needed and knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes before rolling it out into sheets and cutting out the noodles. The pasta only needs to be cooked for a few minutes in seasoned boiling water before serving. But be sure to watch my video, How to make Pasta – Ravioli Sheets, Fettuccine and Angel Hair Pasta, so that you will understand exactly what to do.
