  5. This is my family's spaghetti sauce. We've made it tons of times but I still crave it. As in I'll be typing this up and craving it. This feeds 3 and sometimes leaves leftovers and is pretty quick to memorize. Ingredients: 1 carrot 1 onion 1 celery stalk 2 cloves garlic 1 can tomato paste 1 can diced tomatoes season to taste Wine (optional) Directions: 1. cut up the onion and celery and start to sautee. You can either cut up the carrot the same way or shred it. Shredding thickens the sauce very nicely. 2. When the veg is almost finished, add in minced garlic and seasonings. 3. When the veg is properly sauteed, this is when you would add about half a cup of wine and let it reduce. 4. Add the tomato paste and one can's worth of water. 5. Add diced tomatoes 6. Simmer until the pasta is ready to serve and top with cheese. I think I'm going to have to make this tomorrow because I'm craving it. It only takes about 20 minutes so it delicious, healthy and fast.

Chicken Tetrazini INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 12 ounces spaghetti 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, minced 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon seasoning salt 3 cups shredded American cheese 4 cups cooked and cubed chicken 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. ( You can season your chicken with you favorite seasonings! I sometimes season mine with Tony's or the Julio Chips Seasoning, which goes great with the lime!) Squeeze the juice from the lime over the whole chicken, then place the halves into the cavity of the chicken. Set the half full beer can in the center of a roasting pan or baking dish, and place the chicken over it in an upright position with the beer inserted into the cavity. Pour water into the bottom of the pan. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil, and place roasting pan and all into the oven. Roast the chicken for about 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, removing foil during the last 20 minutes. Baste occasionally with the drippings. When finished, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) when taken in the meatiest part of the thigh. Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
  8. PASTA PUTTANESCA 1/8-1/4 cup pancetta, finely diced 3 tablespoons olive oil 5-8 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1 large can (approx 35oz) whole peeled Italian tomatoes 1 dozen oil-cured black olives, pitted and chopped 3 anchovies, finely mashed (optional) 2 tabelspoons red wine vinegar a pinch red hot pepper flakes 2 tablespoons each fresh basil and oregano 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (save a little for sprinkling) 1 bay leaf Romano or Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling) 1 lb pasta, cooked according to package directions salt and pepper, to taste Note: If you don't have fresh herbs available, substitute 1/2 teaspoon each dry oregano and basil. In a large skillet, sauté pancetta over low heat in olive oil until soft and translucent; bring heat up and allow to pancetta to brown slightly on edges. Add garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, parsley and olives. Mash the anchovies well into the oil, using the tines of a fork. Tip: You can do this with the garlic after it's cooked, too, if you want to avoid having to mince them - just leave the cloves whole and mash them into the oil when they take on a little light coloring. Be careful not to let garlic brown or the oil with be bitter. When garlic begins to take on the slightest color and herbs permeate the air, add the can of whole tomatoes (including the juice in the can). Submerge the bay leaf in the sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat, with just the occasional lazy bubble surfacing for 20 minutes or so, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly. Stir in wine vinegar during final 10-15 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasonings. Meanwhile, as sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions and drain. In a large bowl, combine pasta with enough sauce to coat. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if sauce is too thick, or a teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle pasta with a little fresh parsley and cheese before serving. (Remove bay leaf before serving). Note: Always use a good quality wine vinegar, and don't substitute white or cider vinegar, although good balsamic vinegar or a full bodied red wine can be used for variation. Chopped pork or salt pork may be substituted for pancetta, but with different (but still good) results. _____________ CHICKEN TORTILLA CASSEROLE 3 cups cubed chicken 3/4 cup chicken broth 3 tbsp flour 1/4 cup butter 2 1/2 tbsp onions (chopped) 1 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 oz jalepeno peppers 1 tsp salt 1 doz. tortillas, pulled into pieces, or taco chips 1/2 cup shredded cheese (preferably sharp) 1 1/2 cup chopped stewed/canned tomatoes Melt butter, add onions and saute about 5 minutes.
