bummed for fresh pasta fettucini ideas
Ive taken a liking to fresh pasta, the only downside i find is that it comes in a huge amount and i need to make a few meals of it b4 its no longer any good. i think fresh pasta somewhat is of better quality than the dried stuff, i quite like it..

Your blog is looking great Tiff!
My husband makes a yummy spinach sauce for pasta which is quick and easy.
Basically you saute garlic in some oil then add spinach (we generally just use a box of the frozen spinach - thawed) and seasoning, finally at some lemon juice to taste and cream. I am not sure of the quantities but they can be easily adjusted to suit.
We have tried low fat versions using yoghurt instead of cream. not as nice but still OK.
Hope everything is going Ok for you and HAPPY EASTER :-)
Gosh.. I'm way late to comment on this one.. Your fresh pasta would all be gone by now.
I love fresh pasta. So many things to do with it.
I can easily just do melted proper butter and real parmesan shredded or shaved on top..(Add fresh parsley or chilli flakes?)... if you want.. A few cherry tomatoes, cut in half, thrown in (better roasted!)..and some torn, fresh basil leaves.
Nigella Lawson's lemon linguine (not to be confused with the other linguine recipe that has thyme and mushrooms in it)... looked DIVINE when I saw her make it on TV... The recipe can be found here:

Try a lemon linguine from Jamie Oliver here:

Further ideas from me..
Throw some anchovies in oil into a hot pan.. butter.. fresh basil leaves.. and again the tomato/parmesan if you want. Add kalamata olives if you like them. The anchovies melt.. and they aren't fishy at all.. they just add nice flavour.
Hungarian favourite? Fresh fettucine or linguine pasta.. 250gms.. Then when cooked/drained.. stir through a whole large tub of cottage cheese.. sprinkle with salt (I'd use Maldon of course!)..and cracked black pepper. Cheesy pasta is what they call it.
I have a whole book on pasta somewhere. I'm sure I have plenty of pasta recipes in my "Jamie's Italy" cookbook also.
Re: Shar's spinach idea. Hungarians make a similar spinach sauce that they eat as a side dish with chicken.and any other fried meat Lol...
Make a roux.. (flour/butter..bubbling over heat.. but with plenty of chopped fresh garlic.. don't burn garlic)..and keep stirring as you thicken with full cream milk..and when it's thick you stir in the chopped spinach.. It's creamy and garlicky.. I grew up with the stuff.
A wonderful Stephanie Alexander recipe involves peas, prosciutto and lettuce mixed with your fresh pasta! Cook the peas in some cream separately.. Do the prosciutto in a pan with butter and garlic..and then add chopped cos lettuce leaves.. Stir in fresh parsely at the end.
So many ideas out there.. I'm not sure what your favourite kind of tastes and flavours are..?
