One of the reason's I love Tim is that he loves food. He's not too picky. I made one of his favorite dishes tonight because in between school and work he washed a ton of dishes. I asked him to wash one little pan and he washed several drying rack full loads. Secondly I made it for him because it is one of the easiest recipes ever. It also freezes great and has been a favorite of everyone that I have made it for.
Pasta Bake
1# ground beef ( I usually use ground turkey)
3/4 a box of rotini or penne
1 bag of mozzarella cheese
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
about 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Boil water for the noodles and start browning the meat. Once the noodles and meat are cooked combine in a 9x13 pan with the sauce and parmesean cheese. Stir so that sauce is evenly distributed and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15-18 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbley.
**I usually put some red pepper flakes in and sometimes add mushrooms and onions or maybe spinach to change it up. But Tim always likes it best just the 5 ingredient recipe above. I feed this to Abby for the first time today and she ate almost as big a portion as I did!!
What's your go to easy meal? I'm running out of ideas.
used to be spag. not so much anymore. tacos are always there and easy. now i'm making rice noodles with cucumber, corn (other raw veggies) and soy sauce. i have sauteed them-almost like lo mein. i think i make a pretty good stir fry which can be time consuming with the veggies but WORTH it. love love love talking food with you and friends.
