The sandwich thread (which had Duke trolling, which had my logic center taking damage) made me think of resurrecting this.
A pasta recipe which I love. Left out some vegan replacements. If any non-metric using 'tards want to make this meal just tell me what units you want me to convert the grams and liters to.
Ingredients: (FOR 2 PEOPLE)
50 grams pine nuts
300 grams fettucine
250 grams green beans
2 tablespoons of (olive) oil
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
250 grams champignon mushroom
1,25 dl white wine
3 dl cooking cream
1,25dl vegetable broth
3 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil
40 grams of sun-dried tomatos
50 grams of parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Pre-preparation:
Boil water and cook the green beans until done, set them aside.
Roast the pine nuts in a small cooking pot until done, set them aside.
Cut the onion in small pieces, use garlic press on the garlic, cut the mushrooms in thin slices, chop up the basil (enough for 3 tablespoons), cut the sun-dried tomatos in thin slices, grate the cheese.
Ze cooking!
Cook the pasta (of course let it coincide with finishing the rest of the ingredients ... if the pasta is done too soon, just pour a little olive oil over it so it doesn't stick to the pot while you're keeping it hot)
Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan (I barely know these terms in Dutch, so check this pic
http://www.faqs.org/photo-dict/photofiles/list/594/1756frying_pan.jpg ... it needs to be high like a wok) and sweat the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes (until glazy). Add the mushrooms, stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, cooking cream and the broth. Wait until it starts to boil, lower the heat and let it boil for another 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes add the already prepared green beans and pine nuts, basil and sun-dried tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to liking. Stir a bit until everything that you just added is warm.
Add the sauce to the pasta. Parmesan cheese on top.
