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.

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

Creamy mushroom pasta

This creamy mushroom pasta makes a healthy, super-satisfying dinner for two at just over £1 per portion. Dr Rupy uses silken tofu to give the sauce a wonderful creaminess and extra protein.
