Cooking tonight...have some ?'s

Alright, I am cooking dinner for my girl and I tonight. Italian. On the plate: Ravioli, pasta w/ some tasty marinera sauce, cesear salad, garlic bread and some fruit just for something extra. Any tips on ways to prepare or add to this to make it look better or that I am actually working here? Also, when boiling the pasta/ravioli, I thought I remember my mom putting some salt in the water to prevent it from not boiling over and letting the pasta cook better? This true? If not, any other tips? I dont want to have to lift the pan everytime it boils up until the pasta is done. Thanks...
 
I would use a little bit of olive oil in the pot. It keeps the noodles from sticking together.


You should try and get a hold of bunnymt. She is a great chef from what I understand. Good luck! And have fun. That is so sweet. I remember the first time my husband cooked for me. It was so disgusting, but very sweet. He only eats chicken. So he made Chicken and Rice. The rice was completely stuck together and when he was reheating the food he forgot that he put a vitamin in the container so that he didn't forget to take it. Well the vitamin exploded and it went all over the rice. It looked like seasoning, so we ate it.

All I can say is Yuck!
 
the whole italian this is completely over done and unoriginal. i suggest you do something else.

i have an *OUTSTANDING* spicy chicken pasta recipe.

if you dont want that, go to www.allrecipes.com and check what recipes got the highest ratings. pick a main course, and then come back here, tell us what it is, and we'll advise you from there.
 
Yea use olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. You will only want it to boil for 9-12 minutes. It will work best if you let the water come to a boil and then place your pasta in the water.
 
Well it's true!!! It was really gross, but it's the thought that counts. But god, I can still taste it!!!!


:sick:

At least he made something that was edible.

My ex boyfriend use to come up with weird concoctions (SP?). He would mix the weirdest stuff together and no matter what it looked like, smelled like or tasted like he would always eat it.

I'm a vegan so whenever he attempted to make something for me it was even worse! At least he tried.
 
add salt and vegatable oil to the pasta to prevent sticking

Get a bottle of red wine.


Add some whipped cream(real) to the fruit and add strawberries.

Good music.

Flowers.

Candle light.



....you're gold.
 
Rule No. 1 - Dont use the chick as a guinea pig. Have experience cooking the meal. This rule doesn't apply to chickenheads & hood rats.

Rule No. 2 - Have mom duke cook the meal for you then kick her out fast.... or

you can put salt in your water I also but olive oil in the water as well.

Dont over cook your raviolis, are they fresh (not frozen)?

Listen to Cass and get a decent bottle of wine, Charles Shaw (2 buck chuck will do).

Are you making your garlic bread yourself or is it pre-made?
If you are I suggest getting some sun dried tomatoes, provolone cheese, clove of garlic, tomatoes and fresh basil

Slice your bread, put a light coat of olive oil on the bread, next add the choped garlic, sun dried tomatoes and a slice of cheese, bake until cheese has melted. Then add the fresh tomatoes basil that you chopped. Serve on the side of the main dish.

THen sing " I got the magic stick" j/k

Hopefully you'll -G- tonight.
 
go to a gourmet grocery store and buy their hand made raviolis and sauce. Then select a nice chianti. Ace in the hole and you don't have to cook.

Yes about a tablespoon of oil should do. What kind of wine are you having Merlot? Chardonnay? Gwertzerminer?

add the oil to the water then boil then pasta...it also raises the bp of the water which keeps the pasta firmer.


Dont want limp noodle


lmao
