Momma Pauline's Baked Mac and Cheese

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:32:51 -0400

My mom used to make this all the time for us growing up. The simplicity of the recipe compared to the end product results in pure comfort food. It is inexpensive, filling, and provides killer leftovers that my kids even eat cold. Have the kids help with ripping the cheese slices into little pieces but be careful how much they sneak-a-snack before dinner. -- posted by Phinatic1972

The Realtor's Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:01:13 -0500

This will blow you away. The first time you serve this, you'll be ok because they don't know how great it's going to be. The second time you serve this, you better put it on the table and get out of the way FAST cause they are going to knock you down trying to get to it. It's a recipe that I have developed through years of making it over and over and over. This is the best version I have been able to create. NOTE: This recipe is to be used with 1/2 pound of spaghetti. If you are using 1lb of spaghetti, double the recipe because there won't be enough sauce for a full pound. If you are doubling it, don't double the lemon juice or it'll be too tart, just bump it up to 3 Tbsp. and only bump the lemon pepper up to 3/4 tsp or it will be too salty for some people. MANGIA! -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Farfalle With Chicken, Mushrooms, Spinach and Ricotta Cheese

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:53:29 -0500

This is a nice light pasta - the sauce isn't heavy (or, really, very saucy at all) and the ricotta makes it just a touch creamy. It's also quite healthy. This is one of those recipes that can be made quickly with what you have in the kitchen! Instead of overdoing the pasta - we used whole wheat pasta & bulked it up with veggies and lean chicken breast. The finished dish is very eye appealing and tastes marvelous! ellysaysopa.com. :) -- posted by Manami

Chicken and Veggetable Pasta

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:57:50 -0500

Simple and quick pasta that you can make with almost anything you have in the house (only a few of the ingredients are things you may not have). Doesn't use pasta sauce, olive oil and spices instead, and tons of veggies or just a few. (can be made for anyone who loves or hates veggies!) Many other vegetables are good options but I use these commonly (I would try artichoke hearts and other things if my boyfriend would eat them) -- posted by RealHalfTimeShow

Classic Skillet or Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:16:32 -0500

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

Jamie Oliver Mac N Cheese

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:17 -0500

Jamie: ''Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any tubular pasta you want. I've made this dish my own by lightening it with sweet tomatoes and given it some crunch with delicious breadcrumbs. Just you wait till you try it! This dish isn't going to win any prizes in the nutrition department, but you can, and should, balance it with a nice salad. If you only have it once in a while as a special treat it'll do you no harm." Haven't tried it yet but it sounds so good so posted for safe keeping.. Preperation and cooking time are estimates -- posted by mamaDlicious

Don't be deceived by the lack of added seasonings. It is full of flavor! Adding the squash makes the whole thing rich and smooth, with a color and consistency similar to Kraft Mac'N'Cheese! Delicious! Even my daughters loved it! (3 yrs & 7 mos) I just took the chicken out for my baby girl, mashed it up, and she couldn't have enough! This recipe makes a whole stock-pot full, and it's super easy to make, so it's a great one to make and freeze the leftovers.

Boxing Day Festive Roast Pumpkin and Cheese Lasagne - Lasagna

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:27:54 -0500

Roasted pumpkin and creamy cheese lasagne (lasagna); a Boxing Day special - although I have made this for Christmas Eve too! This is a wonderful addition to the festive vegetarian table, but is ALSO hugely popular with meat eaters. This is my adapted version of Nigella Lawson's pumpkin lasagne; I have changed a few of the methods and added (as well as omitted) a few ingredients! Boxing day is the day after Christmas day, also called St Stephens Day the 26th December; it is a public holiday in the UK and most Commonwealth countries.generally a turkey curry day, or a turkey-free day, one of the two! Serve this with a large bowl of salad and some crusty bread for mopping up the delicious sauce. -- posted by French Tart

Turkey Spinach Lasagna

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:17:09 -0500

This is an amalgamation of some different Cooking Light recipes using what I had on hand one evening, which turned out to be even better the next day. Best of all, you don't have to cook the lasagna noodles first! Feel free to adjust, such as replacing water with chicken broth, adding more ground turkey, using whole wheat noodles, etc. Also, I am a slow cook, so it may take less than 30 minutes for you to prep.

Sarasota's Ham, Pea, Penne, in a Fontina Cheese Sauce

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:20:32 -0500

This is a great way to use up leftover ham, some frozen peas and some pasta and you have an amazing quick dinner. Now I really think that a combination of the fontina cheese and the parmesan is what makes this good. You can use other pastas, but I happen to like the penne or the small penne. My favorite is to serve this with balsamic grilled portabello mushrooms and a good glass of red wine. NOTE: Using a fresh Tagliatelle or similar pasta would make this over the top. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Sarasota's Full Proof Traditional Lasagna

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 01:07:23 -0500

This is my favorite lasagna, and is always the one I go back to. It is "fairly" classic, but I enjoy the mix of turkey and sausage vs all beef or beef and sausage which can be a bit heavy to me. A nice mix of romano, parmesan and mozarella and some red peppers in the tomato sauce makes this just a bit unique. I have many different recipes, including ... a vegetarian lasagna, mushroom, spinach and kale, mexican, and seafood ... but this by far is my ultimate standby. I really call this my Classic Lasagna. This is what I do: Layers ... 1) meat sauce 2) noodles 3) meat sauce 4) ricotta mix 5) grated cheese 6) noodles 7) meat sauce 8) ricotta mix 9) grated cheese 10) noodles 11) meat sauce 12) grated cheese. FYI ... These feeds a crowd, but I love to make it and then keep 1 or 2 pieces out for the week and freeze the rest. This makes a great easy lunch or simple dinner -- posted by SarasotaCook

Homemade Manicotti

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:11:37 -0500

I found this recipe in Rachael Ray's magazine and made it my own. As a kid, crepes (palachinche) in my house was a dessert filled with jelly, rolled like a cigar and eaten before my mother can put them on the table. So I thought it was cool that they were incorporated into this dish. I have to say, I willl never use store bought manicotti for this dish! -- posted by Ingrid Nicolich-Obregon

Princess Soup

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:08:31 -0500

My friend Allison Dennis was hard at work one day in the kitchen and I had asked her what she was making for dinner. She said Princess Soup. I had asked her what the heck Princess Soup was. She said that it is an Italian inspired soup. She had given it the distinct name "Princess Soup" to coax her two little girls to be excited about the soup and eat it up! Enjoy and tell me what you think! -- posted by Keepnupncali

A Better Marzetti

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:25:23 -0500

Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad. -- posted by ebbtide

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79
