Italian Roast With Pasta

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:13:59 -0400

This is a great meal to serve to company, keeping in mind to start early in the day for roasting time. Growing up on a farm, we always had a freezer full of beef, so mom would make this ever so often when we had a bunch to feed. The flavor is so good people just keep eating and eating. It's like an Italian feast when served with bread and a green, leafy salad. I've never tried it in a Crock Pot or with a "thawed" roast - I'm too afraid it would affect the recipe somehow - but let me know if you try it either way. -- posted by Cream Puff

Penne Pasta & Oven Roasted Chicken (By Florida Native)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:46:45 -0400

This is my stab at Romano's Macaroni Grill's dish called "Penne with Oven Roasted Chicken". I think it is my favorite chicken and pasta dish, and I've tried alot of them and made up a few myself. I found a couple of recipes for this but could not get the exact ingredients so I improvised and this is what I ended up with. I added no salt as the chicken broth and cooking wine I used both had salt. I think it's pretty close, not exactly Romano's but still YUMMY! Specifics: I used Perdue's Perfect Portions Roasted Garlic with White Wine Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts, Gourmet Garden Basil Herb Blend (in the tube in the refrigerated produce section, I used 3 teaspoons), Holland House White Cooking Wine with Lemon Flavor, and Barilla Plus Penne Pasta. -- posted by FloridaNative

Creamy Penne Pasta With Ham and Peas

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:14:20 -0400

I tried to copy a wonderful dish I had at a small local Italian restaurant and this one turned out WONDERFUL (for a lot less money too!) The flavors are excellent and it's a totally new way to use up leftover ham. The crispy ham reminds me of pancetta. This is a very forgiving recipe and many different vegetables can be added to your liking, try sauteed zucchini with the peas, or mushrooms, broccoli, etc. -- posted by Aurora

Bacon Arrabiata

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:11:45 -0400

A creamy, spicy pasta sauce with healthy veggies to make up for the delicious bacon! I created the recipe when the right ingredients just happened to be in my fridge, in memory of a lovely arrabiata spice blend I purchased in Italy long ago. Improvise as needed to fit what you have on hand. I use Limoncello, an Italian liquer, to deglaze the pan, instead of white wine and lemon. You can also use half and half instead of cream or omit the cream altogether. -- posted by sage femme

This is a nice meal for when you are craving buffalo wings. The celery is definitely optional.

My kids LOVE hamburger helpers, but being that they are often FULL of sodium etc. I went to work in the kitchen. This recipe is easily adapted by changing a few ingredients. Ground beef -chicken or turkey Cream of mushroom soup to cream of chicken or nacho cheese soup and different pasta change this dish into many alternatives. ex: I replace the ground beef, noodles and cream of mushroom for chicken breast cubed, nacho cheese soup and use cut up tortillas for a Mexican version. -- posted by Chef #864605

I really loved my friend's lemon chicken pasta recipe. Unfortunately, the only ingredients I had from her recipe was chicken & pasta. So I substituted most of the ingredients.

Baked Sausage Penne

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:27:04 -0500

I love baked pasta, but wanted to make something a little different from most of the recipes that I saw. I use homemade marinara and homemade pesto, but feel free to use jarred if that's what you have on hand. You can also use chicken or turkey sausage instead of pork if you wish. This was intended to make dinner for two plus leftovers, as there are only two of us in the house, and I wanted it to be easy enough to pull together on a weeknight. Serve with a green salad, garlic bread, and a nice glass of red wine. Cooking time includes prep and resting time. -- posted by IngridH

Creamy White Wine Sauce and Italian Chicken over Pasta

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:29:04 -0500

This is a super easy, ultra tasty recipe that calls for white wine, a packet of Italian dressing mix, chicken and pasta. Upon my first time making it, I already had leftover cooked chicken breast, so I made the sauce on the stovetop and let simmer for 20 minutes, chopped the chicken and added it to the sauce and served over pasta. I used 1-1/2 cups of white wine to yield a sauce that was a little more runny, but consistency is a matter of preference. I also used 2 freshly chopped roma tomatoes, rather than the sundried. -- posted by Thumbs

Penne Bolognese

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:44:23 -0400

VERY tasty & a bit healthier than a traditional bolognese. Hearty mix of vegetables, leaner meat, and pasta make this a great one-dish meal. This recipe is taken from Men's Health magazine (Apr '08) - I thought my DH was crazy when he asked me to look at a recipe from a men's magazine, but we all loved it! Even the picky teenagers I made this dish with a whole box of Penne pasta, which made the dish go a little farther for leftovers. Also, I used a Reduced Fat smoked turkey/pork sausage in place of the 'diced smoked turkey.' It was VERY tasty and I will probably stick with that when I make this again. I also added to the carrots, since I wanted to make this a one-dish meal and skip a side dish. I know most bolognese recipes usually have a thicker sauce, but because you're using milk (I used skim) in this recipe instead of cream, it's a little different. But in the end, there is no sacrifice of taste...just calories and fat! -- posted by Chef #532638

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:38:09 -0400

I have a weakness for pasta, but decided it was time to be more conscious of what I was eating. This is the product of that experimentation. The best part of this recipe is you use the same pan for everything ,but the noodles. Who doesn't love easy clean up? This makes a good six to eight servings depending on how big of eaters you have in your family. If you half the recipe, keep the tomato, spinach and zucchini the same and half all other ingredients. Also, if you don't like spice omit the crushed red pepper. -- posted by sbera007

This is total guy food - meaty, cheesy, filling. Even better the second day. Great to have in the fridge when you have a busy week coming up and little time to cook after work, or a bunch of hungry guys over for a football game. -- posted by Sherri Dodsworth

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
