OT pasta

[Steelerone]

Come on people, it's bad enough binge watching the Munsters. Now I have to salivate with all these pictures of everything I love. Ok then, Angel hair with hot sausage, antipasto with fresh Genoa, provolone, and hot cappicola, peppers and cheese, and warm from the oven Italian crusty bread. And for dessert on of my wife's made from scratch chocolate chip cookies. Now, everyone go open a can of Progresso chicken noodle soup.

Everytime I have tried squid or the little octopus tentacles they are just too chewy. Taste is good, but it drives me nuts how long it takes chewing.

Sorry Garddog, every time I think about trying squid my mind goes back to "Wake Of The Red Witch".

So what type of skillet do you use? When I'm cooking meat with onions and other ingredients, I use m big cast iron skillet. Nothing like cooking with cast iron.

Cast iron for the meat only for the gravy( sauce ). Gravy(sauce) in a deep stainless steel pot. If you want to make it sweeter drop in two tablespoons of sugar on the sly. Don't let anyone see it. And keep this reply confidential.

Shrimp Scampi, just one of the reasons we know God loves us.

Us maybe, shrimp not so much!

We eat a lot of pasta, at least twice a week. Conventional wisdom is that pasta water needs to be heavily salted. When I started a low salt diet I just knew that my pasta dishes would suffer. Not so. Now I never salt pasta water and I can't tell the difference. Neither can anyone else I've cooked for.

Eliminate the salt - it's a good thing. Just ask your cardiologist.
