one of my favorite dishes to cook that's not hard to make at all, but seems kinda fancy is a portabella walnut marinara suace over fresh fettucini....
start with a little olive oil in the pan
saute sliced portabellas
brown crushed walnuts
pour in strained tomatos
add fresh basil, oregano, cilantro, salt, pepper and just a splash of the wine you'll be drinking later
make sure you don't overcook the fresh pasta (the stuff from the refrigerated section at grocery store)... it takes a lot less time than the dry stuff
grate a little parmesan
garnish with cilantro
serve with an italian wine of your choice
