Easy Pasta Buffet
Easy, Medium, or Hard
Sent by Mike at www.bestpastarecipes.com
If you want to invite a group of friends over this one is a lot of fun!
Ingredients:
Make up a batch of your favorite pasta. Two fun ones are the twisty Fusillis or Farfalle (Bowtie pastas) or a good Penne. Make two different kinds so all
the kids can choose which kind they like.
The pasta sauce can be home made or store bought and can be kept warm in a fondue pot or other warmer.
The next ingredients will be ranked in order of ease. Any or all of these can
be used depending on size of gathering and availability.
Very Easy: These all come in jars or cans
Marinated Artichoke Hearts - can be cut into chunks or left whole for the
guest to cut.
Marinated Sun Dried Tomatoes
Marinated jar (or can) of mushrooms (try the straw mushrooms for a real treat)
Capers or any other canned veggies kids like (canned or dried peas,
canned corn, or waterchestnuts
Still Easy: These all come in packages and must be kept refrigerated
Gorganzola or Feta Cheese
Grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
Pine nuts or sunflower seeds (may not need refrigeration)
Still Easy but we now have to chop some veggies
Chopped or sliced Avocados
Fresh Diced Tomatoes
Fresh Red / Yellow peppers (can be raw or sautéed)
Still not too bad but now we have to cook a little
Mild Italian Sausage
Regular Sausage
Bacon
Hamburger made into meatballs
Shrimp
Calamari
Or any other meat kids can think of or that they can find in the fridge.*Ask Parents first before dicing up filet mignon for the buffet!
Your friends will walk in and see a steaming tureen of sauce, and a number of bowls of delicious marinated and fresh toppings. They can put any of
these toppings on their choice of the two different pastas. If someone doesn't like tomato sauce, you can have a little olive oil or butter on hand. Enjoy!
