My plan for today was to cook pasta. I remembered to buy every ingredient but one.

Guess which one I forgot? :dunce:

1. I'd guess pasta.

If you have flour, an egg, a bit of water and a potato...you're in luck. You can make gnocchi. Homemade pasta is the best anyways.

Also, invest in a pasta mill. It was the best $25 I ever spent and you'll never have this problem again as long as you have flour on hand.

3. Can you do homemade pasta without the egg?

I don't eat eggs.

11. Yes...

Most pasta recipes are just flour and water and a lot of elbow work.

You can replace eggs in gnocchi with anything that will work as a binding agent. Vegan mayo supposedly works well. The potato will probably hold it together, just not as well...you'd just need to add water little by little until the consistency is correct. (dry but doughy.)

There is a great flour and water only recipe here. >>http://veganforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5916

Edit: I disagree with the recipe above in only one area...I like my pasta water to have the salinity of seawater (1tbsp. salt to 1L water) It makes the pasta taste better, cook faster and hold together better.

2. Well, I guess you can always make tomato soup.

Might be a little chunky, though...

5. Fortunately I had what was left of a little bag of penne

gathering dust at the back of the shelf. I supplemented it with some orzo. It's all good. :)

13. Depending on how long it's been

gathering dust, you might end up with a little...um...unintended protein, if you get what I mean.
