Ideas For Pasta Dishes

INSTRUCTIONS

I asked on the Internet for help in preparing pasta without tomatoes.
Margie Heisler <hei6@hotmail.com> replied: "I have a variety of ways
to make pasta delicious without the use of tomato sauce. Try a little
pesto or possibly some olive oil and various Italian herbs. Add any
additional ingredients you would have in the house ... vegetables,
leftover chicken ... etc. It can make a plain pasta dish really
special and only takes minutes to prepare!"  Kelly Grigg
<kgrigg@acxiom.com> said: "Hmm - you might try using  tomatillos ..
it's the green tomato like fruit (?) that is used a lot  in Mexican
cooking ... partiularly green salsas. I may be wrong, but  I think I
read once that it is NOT a relation of the tomato. It can  be found in
many grocery stores these days, usually near the fresh  peppers. It is
the size of a large cherry tomato, and is covered by a  leathery leafy
husk that you pull away to reveal what looks like a  small green
tomato, The taste is sharper than a tomato, but I really  like them. If
you'd like, I can look for a good tomatillo salsa  recipe for you.
"Anyway, you might research this one ... you will  miss out on the
great red color of the tomato, but might get a  similar taste without
the problems."  And Chris Palmer <cpalmer@dingo.webo.dg.com> said "...
try your pureed  apricot/peaches idea with something like tamarind
liquid and/or  pomegranate molasses added."  Posted to MM-Recipes
