Three Cheese Baked Pasta
serves 12
INGREDIENTS
1 pound uncooked pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
6 1/2 cups tomato pasta sauce
6 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, cook ground meat and onion in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until meat is browned. Stir in pasta sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the ingredients in the prepared baking dish as follows: half of the cooked pasta, all the provolone cheese, all the sour cream, half of the sauce mixture, remaining pasta, mozzarella cheese, and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
this is so yummy and would go with any veggie.
Why not make an orange sauce?
You'll need some heavy cream if you don't have it (and some parmesean):
- Mince garlic and sweat in a tablespoon of olive oil
- Add chicken to the pan, browning over a medium heat
- Remove chicken and set aside to rest, add red sauce to pan
- Once sauce is heated, stir in one half pint of heavy cream
- Add a generous amount of parmesean cheese to the sauce
- Chop chicken and add it back to the pan
- Simmer entire dish to incorporate all the flavors.
- Check sauce for taste, consider adding more basil, oregano, black pepper, or cream depending on preferred taste.
- Toss with pasta and serve with a side of broccoli.
How about chicken sauteed in EVOO ( yes I said it )
and garlic steam the broccoli and add about a teaspoon to start of Italian season to your chicken. When pasta finishes drain and pour some more olive oil over top add your broccoli and serve over your pasta
If you have a small onion add some diced to your garlic chicken mixture
Salt and pepper the scallops
Slice a lemon in half
Heat a saute pan on med high
Add tsp olive oil and pat of butter (1/2 inch cut)
Add scallops and sear 2 mins/side
Remove scallops
Add another 2 pats of butter to pan turning up heat
Deglaze pan with squeeze of lemon whisking bits from bottom
Add 1/3 cup dry white wine and reduce 1/3 (simmer for 3-5 mins on med high)
Turn off flame
Return scallops to pan to coat and bring to temp
Serve with your accompaniments.
Chicken & vegetable stir fry.
Spaghetti Bolognaise with vegies mixed through.
Scallops:
Fry them in oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and serve. Add a little lemon juice for the finishing touch!
Chicken, Pasta, and Red sauce:
Cook the chicken [cut up into small pieces] and mix it with the red sauce, and noodles. Add oregano, rosemary, and thyme to the red sauce. It will be a simple, yet delicious meal.
Ground Beef, Pasta, and Red Sauce:
Fry up the beef, and chop up. Add salt, pepper, onions, and garlic to the beef.
Get out the red sauce and add garlic [you can never have too much garlic!], oregano, and rosemary [salt, pepper].
Mix all of it together into a delicious pasta dinner.
Have fun, and enjoy! =]

Chicken Stir Fry
1/3 cup sliced celery
1/3 cup sliced onion
1/3 cup sliced bell pepper
1/3 cup sliced pea pods
1/3 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup cubed tofu
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/3 cup sliced cabbage
1 cubed chicken breast
1/4 cup chopped scallions
3 cloves garlic
Start by getting all of the ingredients laid out and ready to go. Don't use as much veggies as I show in the picture here. I got carried away a bit. You'd never be able to eat all that. Other items I sometimes add are broccoli, sweet red peppers, or carrots. Be sure to have the sauce ingredients mixed and ready. Also cook some rice to serve this over. Or serve it over noodles, that's good. Or whatever. Just don't serve it over potato salad. That's very bad.
In a separate pan saute the chicken in 1/4 tsp sesame oil. Half way though, press in the garlic. If you are using mushrooms, add them a few minutes before the chicken is done. Mushrooms won't stir fry well. Take off the heat and set aside.
Separate the veggies. Put everything but the tofu, bean sprouts, and scallions in a bowl and have at hand. Use a clean steel (not non-stick) pan to stir fry the veggies. Add 1/4 tsp olive oil, and put it on high heat until the oil starts smoking a little. Toss the veggies in the bowl into the pan and stir quickly for less than a minute. About 30 seconds for the amount I use here. Push everything to the side of the pan and turn off the heat.
Pure in the sauce and stir quickly until it thickens. Mix the veggies in and then add the cooked chicken, tofu, scallions, and bean sprouts. Mix everything together and serve over rice. One critical garnish is the crispy Chinese noodles which I forgot to buy for this meal. Don't forget those. Hee hee.

1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
