Simple Pasta With Parmesan

Another stupidly simple side dish made from pantry staples that my family asks for over and over. The savory combination of flavors goes well with many other foods. It can be made with freshly-cooked pasta or with leftover, cooked pasta that has no sauce on it. I’ve included options for some variations to create not-so-simple but extremely tasty side dishes or complete, one-dish meals by adding ingredients you probably have on hand.

White Pizza or Pizza Blanca

This is just the pizza for anyone wishing to try something different and delicious. No tomato sauce on this one. A favorite in my house and with guests.

Meatless Italian Macaroni Bake

Dont be deceived, this recipe looks singularly ordinary so one may be tempted to alter it…but then it’ll have all the subtlety of mac ‘n’ cheese w/ tomato…Please try it as written, discover the subtlety and simplicity of it all…As for me, this ‘casserole’ quickly became a favorite meal, particularly since I usually have all the ingredients already on hand…I imagine it could also be adapted to the microwave, but I’ll leave that to the alleged experts LOL

Hamburger Skillet Supper

This is something new that our family tried that I got from a magazine. We were surprised that we would all like it so much! It doesn’t take very much time at all so it is great when time is limited.
