What is your favorite Pasta/Macaroni Recipe?

Question

So I wanted to make something for my husband.

I haven't been cooking, or doing much of anything because I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and feel half dead most days.. ha ha..

But today I decided to clean the house from top to bottom and make supper.

We don't have much groceries, because tomorrow is grocery shopping day.

I was thinking maybe a Baked Macaroni of some kind?

We have Elbows, small shells, and Ziti.

Also spaghetti but we make that often.

Anybody have any real yummy recipes?

My Husband gets out of work in 2-3 hours.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

1. My mother's recipe (may she rest in peace) is called Noodle c**p, her name for it.

You take wide egg noodles and boil them until tender.

ThenYou brown ground bee in a frying pan Yoy add the ground beef to the drained noodles.

Add a can or 2 of kidney beans, a can of spaghetti sauce, scallions, black olives and stir. It is really good

2 Baked Spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti and drain.

Put a layer of spaghetti in an oven proof dish, top with cheese and repeat 2 or 3 times depending on how big a dish you are serving.

Then bake it at 350 for 15-25 minutes and serve. Garlic bread and a salad meake this dis a feast.

Answer 5

Penne Arrabiatta. You don't have to make it too hot. First, chop like 5 garlics very finely and cut a couple of chili peppers in half and fry in olive oil. Don't let them get brown. Put a desired amount of chili peppers. Then grate lots of tomatoe, and put them in. Bring to a boil and salt. Add a tablespoon of tomatoe paste. And that's your sauce. You don't NEED penne in it just use  whatever you have.
