Tortellini & Zucchini Soup Recipe. Spaghetti Nachos. I dreamed of this post for months. Literally. I’m not sure how the thought crossed my mind, but once it did, I was smitten. I must.make.Spaghetti.Nachos. And yet, I waited. For, well, months. Just not in this case. One sunny Sunday afternoon, we had the kitchen in stitches, making all manner of greatness you can’t even imagine. And this is MY blog. Spaghetti Nachos. Today you are getting more of a method, versus a recipe. I like that. So, what ARE Spaghetti Nachos, you ask? Lasagna noodles, boiled to al dente, then deep fried to golden brown. You may use any mozzarella you can find, should the ohmysweetlord variety not be available. I sprinkled a little fresh cut basil on mine too, but that’s all up to you. Just make them. Ingredients 1 box Lasagna Noodles, boiled to al dente Sea salt, as needed 3 or more cups prepared spaghetti sauce 1 pound hamburger 1 onion, chopped 1 ripe tomato, chopped or diced 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese small handful fresh basil Instructions.
Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe. There are so many good chicken pasta dishes out there but this recipe for Cajun chicken pasta is definitely one of the best!
Cajun chicken pasta is Cajun seasoned chicken tossed with a cream sauce and linguini. The highlight of this recipe is the cream sauce, this well seasoned alfredo style sauce is nothing short of amazing. The good news is, you probably have a lot of the ingredients for this recipe on hand. I really enjoyed the sundried tomatoes, but they can be left out if you choose. For the chicken, you can season the breasts, fry them whole and then slice them instead if you choose. Ingredients: 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into small strips) 4 ounces linguini (cooked all dente) 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning 2 tablespoons butter 1 green onion (thinly sliced) 2 cups heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped) ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon dried basil 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder ¼ cup parmesan cheese Cooking Instructions:
Chili & Cheese Macaroni. Comfort food is always welcome on the table.
In our house, we love macaroni and cheese along with the different variations. To prove it, I shared 12 mac & cheese recipes along with a version using buttermilk not too long ago. So here's another version to add to our growing list of mac & cheese variations. This time, I incorporated some favorite hot dog toppings, chili and cheese. This Chili & Cheese Macaroni brings together all the spice of chili and the creamy goodness of melted cheese.
Chili & Cheese Macaroni recipe slightly adapted from Cook's Illustrated table salt 1/2 pound elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked pasta) 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85% lean) 2 medium onions, chopped 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 12 oz Colby Jack cheese, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups) Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups. Gnocchi Mac & Cheese. Ahhhh mac and cheese.
Those mere words stir up feelings of comfort...home....the food you loved as a kid. If you asked a 100 people what their favorite comfort food was, I'm guessing close to half would say mac and cheese. I'm sure meatloaf and mashed potatoes are right up there too. Why is that the combination of cheese and pasta can make our mouths water?
I'm all about trying different kinds of mac and cheese recipes and this one was no exception. I saw this one on Noble Pig's site and knew it would be in my oven. The gnocchi get's a little puffy in the oven and the cheese get's a little crunchy. It's heavenly. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Combine Gruyere and fontina, then add by the handful to milk mixture, stirring until melted before adding the next handful. Pour sauce over gnocchi and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano over top.
