Solar Pasta Recipes

SOLAR PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Place oil and garlic in a lightweight pot and place in GSO. When the garlic starts to turn a pale golden color, after approx. 10 minutes, stir in the tomatoes (with their juice and coarsely chopped if using whole tomatoes) and the salt. Cover the pot with a dark tea towel. Cook until the tomatoes have separated from the oil, 20 - 30 minutes. Remove from GSO. Stir in basil. Makes enough sauce for one pound of dry pasta Serve over cooked pasta with freshly grated parmesan cheese. *Look for a brand of tomatoes that contain only one ingredient - tomatoes. No salt, no citric acid, no seasonings. I've never found a non-Italian brand that has none of these and even some of the Italian brands are guilty of unwanted additions, so read the label carefully. Pomi, sold in cartons, is good and available in most U.S. supermarkets. *Radicchio, a type of chicory, can be found in the produce section of many supermarkets.

SOLAR PASTA

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat Mix water, pasta, and a pinch of salt in a dark, light-weight, pot. Cover and place in GSO until the pasta has absorbed all or most of the water. Cooking time will depend on the type of pasta used. Drain, if necessary, and serve with sauces. Basically you use equal parts water and pasta so you can increase the quantity as needed. The texture will be very close to traditionally boiled pasta. The trickiest part is knowing when it's done.
