Amish Macaroni Salad

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 19:58:01 -0400

I really love Amish Macaroni Salad, and this is my favorite recipe for it. Amish Macaroni Salad is somewhat on the sweet side, so if you don't mind your salads sweet, I think you'll like it too. It's even better the next day, so if you can, let it sit overnight. I got the recipe from a Berk's County website a while back. NOTE: It does make a lot of salad, so if you wanted a smaller amount, it halves easily. Just use the 3 eggs chopped up and just garnish with paprika. Time does not including cooking the macaroni. -- posted by Charmed

Drain the marinade before serving this dish in order to lower the fat and sodium while keeping all the good taste. -- posted by Barb Gertz

Broccoli Siciliano

Fri, 15 Apr 2005 13:21:47 -0400

This has been a comfort dish for me for years. Different from the broccoli side dishes that call for cream soup (I love them, too!), this one has a buttery Parmesan sauce that goes great with the broccoli. The oregano is the secret ingredient that makes this dish. This can also makes a satisfying meatless entree. Note: this can be a terrific main dish using rigatoni noodles. -- posted by Roxygirl in Colorado

Home-Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:28:55 -0500

Before Mac & Cheese came in a cardboard box, it was made from scratch. My Mom made the best I ever tasted, but I don't have her recipe - so I made this one up. I take it to all the family potluck dinners, and get rave reviews! This recipe fills a very large (bigger than 9x12) casserole dish. -- posted by RJ Hallstrom

Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese

Tue, 06 Dec 2005 10:55:12 -0500

This is Alton Brown's recipe with a few small tweaks. It is SOOOO much better than a boxed mix and almost as quick. I have made it with 1% milk instead of evaporated. I have also made it with all extra sharp cheddar for a bold taste and a thick, almost custardy, texture. You can find the original recipe at foodtv.com. -- posted by JMS0173

Antipasto Pasta Salad

Tue, 07 Feb 2006 15:24:43 -0500

This is a good basic antipasto pasta salad recipe. Uses bottled Italian dressing for ease, of course you could substitute your homemade. Trio Italiano pasta is a Skinner brand, has shells, rotino, and spiral pasta; you can substitute just shells or just spiral or any combination you like.

This is a great quick lunch or side dish. It is as simple and fast as the boxed mac n cheese, but heartier! Servings are 4 little kids lunches or 4 small side-dish servings. This is great with frozen peas or diced ham stirred in. Or add chopped broccoli florets (fresh or frozen) and match stick carrots to the boiling water with the pasta. -- posted by MommyMakes

Mac and Jack Cheese

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 00:32:20 -0500

This is my take on a southwestern mac and cheese made with Monterrey jack! If you were pressed for time, you could just omit the crushed tortilla chips and mix the cheese in with the pasta and serve without baking! I think this dish would also be great with cooked chicken or ground beef! Enjoy! -- posted by KPD

Sea Shell Pasta Salad or Wheelie Pasta Salad

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:24:00 -0500

This recipe was designed with children in mind, for parties, potlucks and picnics. You can add other veggies to the salad that your child/ren enjoys. This is a great side dish for a themed Under the Sea or pool party. Pasta shells, crunch veggies and cheese cut into star or fish shapes create a side dish loved by backyard sailors. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Beans With Small Shell Pasta

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 14:47:34 -0500

This recipe originally called for adzuki beans, but as those are extremely hard to find state-side, I use whatever type of beans I have on hand. I like garbanzos and cannellini best, but kidneys and pintos work well also. Adjust the pepper flakes to your personal taste. I usually use around 3/4 tsp. depending on how I am feeling while cooking. If you don't have Asiago cheese on hand, Parmesan and Mozzarella will work just as well. This can also be made vegan by omitting the cheese or substituting soy cheese. This can be used as a main dish for four or a side dish for eight. -- posted by ksduffster

Easy Seashell Krab Salad

Chopped Salad Appetizer Shells

Sat, 12 May 2007 16:41:06 -0400

This beautiful appetizer consists of an Italian chopped salad that is mounded into cooked pasta shells. It can be made up to four hours ahead and the romaine salad will remain crispy for serving. Note: To give proper credit, this is an adaptation of recipe #29329, which uses chicken as a main ingredient. In the version I am posting, the chicken is eliminated and the chopped salad is garnished with salami and feta cheese. I also make my own vinaigrette, but if you prefer, just use a bottled Italian dressing. -- posted by Cookin'Diva

Cold Tuna Salad

Tuna noodle salad! It's pretty simple easy and straight forward. Great for the summer, pot lucks, a complete meal or a side.I've been making this for about ten years it was one of my girlfriends recipes but every time she see me she wants me to make it. she says she can't do it right anymore so she passed it down to me. you can use any mayo you like, (I recommend Miracle Whip because it just doesn't taste right to me with other mayos). -- posted by Shellflutterby

Tuna Macaroni Salad

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 23:05:32 -0400

Yup, another tuna macaroni salad. I really like this one, though. I always use mild curry powder to keep it "crowd-friendly". I've never made it with a hotter, spicer curry powder so I can't recommend it. Like most macaroni salads, you'll probably want to moisten it with some milk before serving.... especially the next day. -- posted by *Parsley*

This casserole is not your typical mac and cheese. It has a very "cheesy" rich flavor. It is great for family reunions and gatherings because it will serve up to 15 people and is easy to transport. You can make this "lighter" by using light sour cream (or plain yogurt) and cottage cheese as well as low cholesterol eggs. -- posted by Lynn Buntyn

My husband suggested shells, tuna and peas, all things we had on hand. I thought, ewww, sounds gross in the heat, but, I whipped it together. It was a huge hit. So much so our kids, my sisters and niece request it frequently. I'm estimating the measurements for the dressing, as I don't usually measure. -- posted by nanner18411

Pasta With Parmesan and Corn

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:55:09 -0400

We had tons of sweet corn we had cooked and I had to get really creative with my recipes. This I adapted from another recipe I found in a Taste of Home Pasta cookbook. This can be a vegetarian meal or side dish or added some grilled chicken for the meat eaters in your home! -- posted by sbera007

Three Cheese Stuffed Shells Italiano

Not very many ingredients to make such a tasty dish. You can make this into 4 separate servings in small casserole dishes, but cut the cooking time down to about 20 minutes. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Fast enough for weeknights and will have everyone fighting over the serving spoon. I found this recipe in Family Circle magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Shells in a Rich Mushroom Sauce

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:37:16 -0400

A nice rich side dish. This goes great with a grilled steak for a hearty dinner. And if you just want a meat free dinner, this is it. Very hearty. A nice salad and it is plenty for dinner. I love to serve this with fresh slices of heirloom tomatoes. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Vegan Spaghetti Casserole

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:45:34 -0400

This is a nice change from the typical burger or parmesan topped spaghetti sauce. Easy, tasty and the kids like it! I also like that it is a one dish meal. You can use any small pasta in place of the wheat. I use home canned tomato puree but you can replace that with two 28 ounce cans of tomato sauce and 2 cups of water. Serve on top or on the side with frozen corn that is steamed. -- posted by RussianMama

You may think it sounds strange to add beer to macaroni and cheese but I promise you this version is simply amazing. -- posted by ScottySauce

Walnut and Roasted Fennel Pasta

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:38:28 -0500

This is a absolute fantastic side dish. Serve with some grilled steak or chicken and this is just creamy and good. I know it sounds a bit different, but it is really worth trying. The last wedding I catered I had request after request for this recipe. I don't necessarily consider this as a main dish, but a wonderful side dish. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Cauliflower and Shells With White Cheddar Dill Sauce

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:52:28 -0500

There is an amazing website here in Richmond, VA called Black Sheep (MUST GO IF YOU'RE LOCAL!). They currently have seasonal side dish that inspired this copy-cat recipe for my family's Christmas dinner - with no baking necessary. I have pretty exotic taste buds, but my two brothers and father have a diet that consist of tacos, hot wings, pizza, burgers and steak - NO VEGGIES. This is a gourmet and delicious way to sneak them into a meal that usually consists only of meat and potatoes ... -- posted by Susan 0485
