Can I top a baked pasta dish with panko instead of regular bread crumbs?We Answered:
you could, but breadcrumbs would be ideal because panko is a bread product that is specialized for frying, not baking. I've tried to bake with panko but it gets really dry.Leah Said:
What wine would best accompany a baked creamy pasta dish with asiago, parmesan, creme fraiche, and thyme?We Answered:
Bon appetit! Sounds really rich and delicious. I would drink a nice dry Chardonney,,,but if you prefer something a bit sweeter, a Riesling would go nicely.Heather Said:

Help!I want to do a recipe with beef&pasta baked in the oven. What type of beef meat should I use?We Answered:
You can use ground beef --either lean ground tenderloin or lean ground steak. Brown the ground meat on top of the stove with a little shortening or steam it until it is browned. You can saute onions and add that to the ground beef. You'll need some sort of liquid to add to the beef for a sauce--you could use tomato soup and a little water--cook that miixture on top of the stove, then when you are ready to add your cooked pasta, you could put it in the oven.
