I started searching for pasta recipes in Italian and it worked fantastically, feels like learning the things that will become a trend in english youtube videos 3 years from now. I feel like I've learned so many useful techniques and ideas that I can just improvise really really high quality pastas whenever I want now. It's fantastic.

Share some of said recipes, you smug dog! I always want to up my pasta game.

I'm still arguing with my extending family about the amount of salt in the pasta water... baby steps

Camping pasta: Have Swiss egg helix pasta, exactly the right amount of water, some bouillon powder, triple concentrated tomato paste, pepper and a dash of cream. Cook till soaked up (takes 10 minutes). Serve with slices of gruyère.

(This is sacrilegous but done right it tastes very good and is simple to cook, you need only one pot and it is done quickly even on camping gas.)

I bought a 400g can of triple concentrate thinking it was chopped tomatoes (I'm in Greece, I do not speak Greek). It is fate. Gruyère sounds good, thanks for sharing!
