CHICKEN TETRAZZINI





1 lb. pasta, cooked


1/2 pound fresh mushrooms


1 stick butter


2/3 cup flour


1 large onion, sliced


5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped


4 c. chicken broth


2 c. light cream


1/4 cup dry sherry


4 c. diced chicken, cooked


1 c. grated Parmesan cheese


1/3 teaspoon garlic powder


Salt and pepper to taste





Cook and drain pasta according to package directions. Slice the mushrooms 1/8 of an inch thick and sauté in 2-3 tablespoons of the butter, along with sliced onion, and chopped garlic until lightly browned. Combine the remaining butter with flour and add chicken broth, stirring over low heat until thickened. Add the cream, salt, pepper, sherry, and garlic powder.


Divide the sauce in half. And one half of the chicken meat, and half of the mushrooms and cooked pasta. Butter a casserole dish and turn the pasta mixture into the casserole leaving a well in the center of the pasta.





Turn remaining cooked chicken half into the center of the pasta mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.





Optional: may also top with butter to breadcrumbs

Summer Spaghetti Salad





16 ounces mozzarella cheese


5 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped


1 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped


1 large clove garlic, pressed


2 tablespoons salt


1 tablespoon olive oil


16 ounces thin spaghetti


Salt and pepper





Bring a large pot of water to a boil.





Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the tomatoes, basil and garlic in another bowl.





When the water is boiling hard, add 2 tablespoons salt and the oil. Add the spaghetti and cook just until it is al dente. Do not overcook. Quickly drain the spaghetti and return it at once to the warm pot. Immediately stir in the mozzarella; the heat of the pasta will melt it slightly. Stir in the contents of the other bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.





Serves 4 to 6.
Excellent!





This is a favorite of mine, perfect for halloween.





Cook up a tomato sauce of your liking, towards the end drop in a handful of sweet peas and squid tentacless.


Just before removing if from the heat take the ink sac from the squid and empty the contents into the sauce, stir well and add to your favorite pasta.





this is an actual recipee, and is very tasty!!
I like to use squid ink pasta (http://www.all-things-italian.com/prodde… on Halloween because it stays pitch black - then you can just toss it with olive oil and cubes of roasted pumpkin or squash.
google or do a recipe search for pasta recipes , it would fill an encylopedia... just type'; pasta recipe'; in google
