Looking For Pasta Recipes

[Killarney]

I bought some Tinkyada pasta and I'm looking for good recipes.

How do you make macaroni and cheese with the Tinkyada elbows? What kind of cheese do you put on it?

Any other good pasta recipes?

I've always been a fan of tomato based meat sauces, myself. :-) You can make them a bunch of ways, but (unless tomatoes are on sale and looking really good) I often use canned tomatoes to start.

This is a fairly quick recipe I often use:

Quick Meaty Pasta Sauce

Serves 3-4 (Main Dish, on pasta)

Ingredients

-----------

1/2 lb turkey meat (thawed, if frozen)

1/2 tbsp olive oil

1 large can stewed tomatoes

1/2 can tomato paste

1/4 cup tomato sauce (enough to thin)

1/2 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp garlic salt

1/2 tsp ground sage

1 tsp rosemary

2 tsp basil

2 tsp thyme

2 tsp oregano

1 tbsp fresh basil (fresh is important)

Directions

----------

1. Brown the meat in the oil.

2. Add all other ingredients except basil and tomato paste.

3. Simmer for a few minutes, until onions are cooked through.

4. Stir in tomato paste until it's the desired consistency.

5. Remove from heat, stir in the basil, and serve over warm pasta immediately.

that sauce sounds good

anyway, the way i make mac n cheese is:

when the noodles are done cooking, rinse them off and shredd chedder cheese right into the bowl, w/ a little cream and butter. it tastes really yummy, but you have to be quick or the cheese wont melt right.

you can also use kraft velveeta (its gluten free)
