Low Carb Penne Pasta in Pesto-Cream Sauce

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 20:52:34 -0500

This recipe uses the recently introduced low-carb pasta for a flavor-packed, yet healthy side dish that satisfies your pasta craving without breaking your low-carb diet! Note: The 'Zaar nutrition chart doesn't recognize "low-carb" pasta, so be sure to add the number of carb grams shown on your pasta box. For example, my brand contains 5 G. net carbs, so my corrected total is 7.5 G. net carbs in each serving. -- posted by Cookin'Diva

Stilton Penne With Zest

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 21:52:50 -0500

I originally ate this in a Toronto restaurant across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario where I worked at the time. This is my attempt to replicate it, and it is yummy!! The orange zest adds a little extra interest. Pasta shells would also work well, catching lots of sauce. After receiving the first review saying it was missing something, I realized I left out 2 items, so this is the amended version. -- posted by Karen in OC

Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:56:54 -0500

Another simple creamy mac & cheese recipe. When I was a kid my grandmother made it with American cheese and long macaroni noodles. I recently found the noodles that she used in a farmer's market - they are Greek pastichio macaroni noodles broken into 1-2 inch pieces before cooking. Give it a try with the Greek noodles if you can find them. Otherwise, use whatever noodles work for you. -- posted by Karen67

Make Your Own Pasta Salad

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:07:02 -0400

This is a basic pasta salad recipe, which is easy to tweak or add extra veggies to, depending what you have on hand. I like to make this on Sundays and keep it in the fridge for quick healthy lunches/dinners during hectic work weeks. It really doesn't take much time to make your own dressing for pasta salads and the results are much fresher-tasting and well worth the effort. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

I have fallen in love with Jacques Pepin. His recipes, whether complicated or incredibly simple, like this one, always turn out perfect.

Grant Achatz's Mac and Cheese

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:10:39 -0400

You would expect Chef Achatzs macaroni and cheese to have some chef tricks, but it doesnt. He uses a white sauce, elbow macaroni and cheddar cheese, just like the rest of us. His personal touch: a tablespoon of paprika (to enhance the color of the sauce) and lots of smoky, crisp bacon bits. We love this recipe, which we tried out on resident's to see if they liked the pasta and cheese sauce. Have tweaked it a bit!

Easy Pasta Puttanesca

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:41:54 -0400

Pasta Puttanesca literally means "Harlot's Pasta". This zippy, mildly spicy sauce was made by the ladies of the night in Italy after a day's work. Use whatever noodle style your family enjoys, but I recommend traditional linguine or penne. This dish is extremely adaptable to your own taste. Try adding peppers or Italian sausage for a different flavor. -- posted by Chef #852940

This is a super easy, super quick recipe that is always a hit. It is a request for most family/friend events. The recipe says to serve immediately, but I've found its pretty tasty cold as well. Even the next day. Some times I will make extra sauce and cook chicken in it to make it more than just a pasta dish. Taken from a 30 min or less cookbook. Most of the time I double this recipe. -- posted by KTM

Ziti, Eggplant and Fontina Gratin

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:57:56 -0400

Eggplant is sauteed in olive oil and cooking spray until its creamy soft and then tossed with pasta and cheese. A quick trip under the broiler browns the top & melts the cheese. "A dolcetto wine is delightfully dry and will make an ideal partner for this dish." Whether or not to salt and drain eggplant before cooking remains a matter of dispute, as well as whether we should peel or not peel the eggplant. As for me, I like the skin on and I like to salt and drain before cooking - when it is done this way it absorbs less oil during frying, as well as getting rid of the bitter flavor. F&W Magazine Don't forget - I didn't account for the draining time = 20-25 min. :) Originally posted on 07/17/2008 - Update: 11/08/2008 have decreased the amount of pasta and increased the heat! Hope you like it & enjoy! ;) -- posted by Manami

Creamy Mac and Cheese

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:10:49 -0400

I can't stand stringy cheddary mac and cheese. It's got to be creamy - where the sauce sticks to the noodles and every bite is filled with gooey goodness. But I want to make this as healthy as possible. I got this basic recipe from #108068 on Recipezaar but I decided to throw my own flair in there. I made it for my family and I got rave reviews - they had no clue it wasn't "full-octane" with butter, whole milk, and full-fat cheese! This will be one they beg me to make at holidays! You can add ingredients to make it a main dish or just do a basic recipe for a side dish. -- posted by Chef #894253

This is a recipe I tried for a Christmas dinner and my whole family asked that it be a regular course from then on. Kids love it, and it is easy to make (but fatty). This is one of the best macaroni and cheese recipes I have tasted. I got it from the magazine "Southern Lady" (November/December 2008) issue. It says that it is a recipe about 80 years old, and makes a great dish for family gatherings. It is VERY filling, and can be made into a casserole with ham or a meat of your choice. -- posted by CrazyRedHead

Make sure you use Original Vegenaise, it tastes just like the real thing. Adjust peppers to how hot you like it. As the recipe stands I would say it has a medium spiceyness. -- posted by JillM

Quick and Easy Pasta Salad

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:08:54 -0400

I had never made a pasta salad before, but my girlfriend wanted one for a party, so I threw this together and it turned out amazing. I used italian dressing but next time I might use a sundried tomato dressing. I think that would kick it up a notch. Make sure your pasta water is heavily salted and dont skip on the garlic, it adds a great flavor to the pasta. -- posted by chef victoria #2

Italian Broccoli & Pasta

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:17:45 -0400

This quick, yummy, fairly healthy recipe came from the internet (can't remember the site) and I modified it to our families taste. My Italian hubby grew up on this (although I make it a tad differently). We eat it as a main dish, although you could easily eat it as a side for any kind of meat or fish. Adjust the broth to your preferences, my husband likes it soupy, so this version has a lot of broth. -- posted by hmtheLords
