What kind of pasta are you making? I like to make my meals simple. You can buy a box of dry pasta, a jar of tomato sauce (Prego is my favorite brand), a bag of shredded mozzarella cheese and ground turkey. Boil the pasta in salt water until al dente. In another pot, add ground turkey and season it with salt until the meat is brown, then add the tomato sauce. When the sauce is ready, turn off the stove, and add the cooked pasta. Stir the pasta mixture. In a rectangle baking dish, add half of the pasta, then half a bag of shredded cheese and repeat a second time. Put the dish in the oven and baked it until the cheese has melted.
Salt potatoes! They're simple and *delicious*, especially with a good BBQ!
What you need:
-small potatoes (small enough to be eaten in no more than one or two bites)
-salt
-water
-butter
Scrub the potatoes well and boil them (skins on!) in *very* salty water. You want about 1 cup of salt for every 6 cups of water (make sure to use a big enough pot for this! It's really messy if it boils over).
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and serve *hot* with melted butter.
5lbs of potatoes will serve about 6 people as a side dish.
In my experience, most BBQs don't require any additional carbs.
My mom makes pasta salad with cold pasta, cheese cubes, tomatoes, canned mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, olives and a really good Italian dressing.
A very simple but tasty potato salad is to boil red potatoes and after they have cooled, toss with chopped green onions and bottled ranch dressing.
