7 EASY PASTA RECIPES
- PROTEIN PACKED PASTA SAUCE..
Perfect for summer cookouts and picnics, this includes pasta with an abundance of different meats and cheeses in it. It is a colorful dish and makes a great side. It also makes a complete meal itself.
2. PASTA MEAT SAUCE..
Everyone needs a great basic pasta meat sauce recipe. It is so versatile and can be served with any kind of pasta. It is a basic recipe using sweet Italian sausage, ground beef, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, seasonings, and jarred pasta sauce. You can also use different kinds of meat such as ground turkey.
CHEESY AND HOT PASTA RECIPES
3. CHEESY SPAGHETTI PIE..
This is an old time recipe that my family loves. It is baked in a deep dish pie pan with a crust of cooked spaghetti, a layer of ricotta cheese, topped with a homemade pasta sauce and covered with mozzarella cheese. All of the kids that I know (of all ages) love spaghetti, so this is just a fancier way to serve it.
4. CREAMY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI..
An easy weeknight dinner that can be made ahead of time. Loaded with cooked spaghetti, rotisserie chicken, veggies, soup and a creamy broth and baked.
5. SAUSAGE-SPINACH LASAGNA ROLL-UPS
These are a delicious variation to making lasagna. A mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, egg, baby spinach, and sausage spread on lasagna noodles. They are rolled up, covered with pasta sauce, topped with more cheese and baked.
6. CHICKEN SPINACH ALFREDO ROLL-UPS
A mixture of ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, egg, baby spinach, and chopped rotisserie chicken are spread on a tender lasagna noodle and then rolled up. They are baked in a homemade alfredo sauce and covered with more cheese.
7. SPICY SAUSAGE SPINACH STUFFED SHELLS
Cooked pasta shells, stuffed with a filling of ricotta cheese, sausage, spinach, and cheeses. Covered with a pasta sauce, more cheese, then baked. I always assemble these shells a day ahead of time, making it so convenient to just pop them in the oven for dinner on a busy evening.
