Baked Mac and Cheese

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:24:35 -0400

this is my hubby's great grandma's recipe. Most mac and cheese recipes call for cooking the noodles first, I am usually pressed for time so this recipe is a great alternative. Just throw it together and pop in the oven. -- posted by melmorr

Orzo With Cinnamon Browned Butter, Feta, Tomatoes and Spinach

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:28:43 -0400

A recipe by Karen Barnaby in the Edmonton Journal September 23/09 in an article titled "Cinnamon stars in savoury selections". "This can be a side dish - leave the feta out or in as you prefer - or a main course for two." I used cherry tomatoes and omitted the spinach. I recommend adding the feta as it really adds some zip. We also garnished with toasted pine nuts. -- posted by Lille

Creamy Pasta With Tomato Confit & Fresh Goat Cheese

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:39:32 -0400

Recipe by Terrence Brenan. Brenan cooks this pasta risotto-style by stirring in rich chicken stock a ladelful at a time. As the pasta releases its starch, the dish becomes delicately milky. Instead of finishing the dish with a knob of butter he folds in fresh goat cheese, which turns creamy in the gentle heat. Here, Brenan uses a small tube-shaped pasta called ditalin, but any small cut works. From: Strategies for Cooking with Cheese, Pairing of the Day, F&W Magazine, Published October 2008. Wine Pairing: Jason Miller, wine director at Picholine, pairs this recipe with the 2006 Charles Joguet Cuvée Terroir, a Cabernet Franc from Chinon in Frances Loire Valley. When grown in Chinon, this red grape tends to have herbal, spicy notes that make it an ideal match for goat cheese as well as tomatoes. Another good Chinon to look for is the cherry-inflected 2006 Marc Brédif. -- posted by Manami

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:08 -0400

A yummy recipe from Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book. She got tired of living half of the year without her ziti, so came up with ziti lovely in flavor!

She says to keep your tissues handy, this one might bring you to tears. :) -- posted by Sharon123

This is how we do mac and cheese in Australia. So simple, only four ingredients, using only one dish. This is always a hit at any BBQ with never any leftovers! Serves 4 sides.

Spicy Macaroni and Cheese

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:14:33 -0400

From foodnetwork.com. This is the easiest way to make homemade mac and cheese that I've ever come across...in fact I've been altering all other mac and cheese recipes to reflect the method of prep in this recipe. I make this when I've got 15 minutes to throw together a meal (not including cooking time.) It doesn't hurt that this is a REALLY tasty macaroni recipe. Can be served as a side dish, but we're veggies so we usually eat it as the main dish. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

This is just good 'ol mac and cheese- rich, creamy and satisfying. Any cheese you like can be put in there, and any shaped noodle will work (though I think elbows, penne and rotini work best). Whole milk makes a richer mac and cheese, but didn't miss it here (and dh only will drink whole milk!). This will serve 8 adults a main course, more if there are kids or as a side. -- posted by newmama

Snobahr's Baked Mac 'n Cheese

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:34:25 -0500

My family adores this, and it reheats quite nicely. This is *NOT* a low-fat recipe. I use cream when I have it on-hand, or a combination of cream and milk. I use whatever cheese I have on-hand, or I will pick up blocks of cheddar and/or Monterey jack, basically anything that will melt nicely. I avoid using the pre-shredded cheese, because they have a dusting of flour to keep them from clumping in the bag, and throws off the recipe in use. Tool cleanup gets interesting, too. I also use whatever small pasta I have onhand - macaroni, rotini, shells, etc. -- posted by SnoBahr

Yummy!! Free up your oven and cook this classic dish in your crock pot! I made this is my taller older, 4 qt. crock pot rather than my new larger oval shaped one that tends to run hot. This could also be baked in the oven if necessary. -- posted by KPD

Sweet Somen Noodles

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:40:30 -0500

I add this to the somen noodles I serve my Taiwanese Spaghetti recipe with for a little extra sweetness. Found this recipe off the internet from someone who would eat the somen noodles made this way alone (kind of bland in my opinion, but you can eat it that way, too). This noodle can be served cold or warm, depending on preference. Cooking time is the time it takes to boil the somen noodles -- posted by Fluffkins

Hearty Mac & Cheese

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:35:54 -0500

This was adapted from an Ellie Krieger recipe. I made a few of my own tweaks. A friend of mine challenged me to find a mac & cheese recipe that wouldnt leave us feeling like we ate our entire body weight in fattening dairy. I know it sounds strange to use squash as the base for the cheese sauce, but it actually worked. The dish doesnt taste like squash. Its nice and creamy with a crispy, browned top. If youre looking for a light alternative to many peoples favorite comfort food, give this a try. -- posted by Diet It Up

Leftover pasta? ... this is a favorite. A box of frozen spinach, a little cheese and a perfect side dish. Serve this along a roast chicken, grilled steak and my favorite is a grilled ham steak. Very quick and easy. -- posted by SarasotaCook
