pasta dishes?

We Answered:

You can't use the box mac n cheese. But you can make a yummy backed mac n cheese. Just put cream and cheese in a pot on low and let it come to a boil until the cheese melts. Then dump it over cooked pasta (i like elbows). Throw some bread crumbs on and bake for 45 mins. Or if you don't want to bake it, leave out the bread crumbs and the baking part. YUMM

What is one of your favorite, easy pasta dishes?

We Answered:

My husband is Italian and he boils penne pasta, drains it when it is el dente.
Puts it in a hot fry pan, adds a little sauce and browns it, adding fresh oregano, basil and lots of rosemary from the herb garden. I pick the herbs and cut them with kitchen scissors over the frying pasta for the last three minutes. Tastes great

Joel Said:

What is a good vegetable substitute for rice and pasta dishes?

We Answered:

You can make "pasta ribbons" by using a vegetable peeler and peeling strips of zucchini and slicing them in half. When your chicken and sauce is ready, in a non-stick pan drizzle in some olive oil, and the zucchini pasta followed by some salt and pepper. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a couple drops of white wine at this stage and cook it until its just wilted and cooked. Its not he same as pasta but its a pretty darn good sub for those who are carb conscious.
