鈥?good-quality balsamic vinegar


鈥?500g penne


鈥?200g black olives, stoned and halved


鈥?a small bunch of fresh basil, leaves picked


鈥?a chunk of pecorino cheese, to serve





Penne with tomato, basil, olives and pecorino


Preheat oven to 200掳C/400掳F/gas 6.





Throw the tomatoes into a large roasting tin, drizzle them with olive oil, season with some salt and pepper and pop them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Once they鈥檙e roasted, squash the tomatoes with a fork to get the juices going and drizzle over some balsamic vinegar.





Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and add the roasted tomato sauce and the olives. Tear over most of the basil leaves and toss everything together. Season and serve with the reserved basil leaves scattered over and some freshly grated pecorino.
This is super simple:





Spaghetti Piazza:


1 pound box spaghetti noodles


1/2 cup milk


1 large egg


1 Jar Marinara Sauce


1 pound lean ground beef


2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese


13 x 9 glass baking dish





In a large stock pot boil water to cook spaghetti, follow package directions. Drain. Measure milk in large bowl, add egg, mix well, add spaghetti and mix well.





While spaghetti is cooking brown lean ground beef in large saute pan. Drain excess fat, return to pan and add the marinara sauce. Simmer on low.





Lightly grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish. Pour spaghetti into dish, top with meat mixture and spread cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes uncovered or until cheese has melted.

This is my one fake lasagna. 1 box of cooked ziti, 1 large jar of tomato sauce, 1 small container of ricotta cheese, 1 bag of mozz., and 1 lb. cooked ground meat (any will do %26amp; it's right you can skip it all together). Mix all this together except half the bag of mozz cheese, cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour. Top with the rest of the mozz. back in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and slightly brown. If you don't use sausage I suggest seasoning the meat with at least a little salt and pepper.





In a sautee pan cook up some type of flavoring. I like bacon or pancetta, but if you don't do meat just take it out. Take out the meat once it's crispy. Add 1/4 container sliced mushrooms and 1/2 diced onion and cook down. Add about 1 c. heavy cream, a pinch of nutmeg and 1/2 c. parm cheese. Taste for seasoning after it has reduced by about 1/3. Then add 1/2 box cooked pasta to this. Make sure you cook your pasta until just before al dente. Toss around until the sauce gets thick and coats all the pasta. Then put the bacon or pasta back in.
Pasta Casserole





Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 can Campbell's (or other) Cream of Mushroom soup, 1 small jar or can of mushrooms, 1 10 ounce can of chunk white tuna (any brand), 1 small can of green peas, 10 ounces of milk or condensed milk, 1 bag of grated cheese. 1 cup of butter or margarine.





1 box or bag of medium shell pasta.





In a casserole bowl, break and whip the egg. Stir in the tuna. Add the Cream of Mushroom soup and the milk. Stir well. Add the peas and the mushrooms, including the liquid contents of the cans. Stir. Put the butter or margarine on top and don't stir.





In a pot or pan, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta. Drain and add to the other contents. Stir well until there are no traces of the butter or margarine (I use Parkay in a tub, by the way).





Add the cheese on top. (Use your favorite. I like sharp cheddar, but any cheese will work.)





Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes in the casserole bowl--covered.

look where it says difficulty and try the easy ones
Spaghetti is always good but if you want to challenge yourself try lasagna. You've got your classic meat lasagna but I recently came across a spinach, chicken, mushroom lasagna that my family really loved.
with broccoli sauted in garlic, olive oil hot red pepper flakes and some chicken stock
