ONE POT GARLIC PARMESAN PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the chicken broth, milk, and fettuccine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
• Stir in Parmesan. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
• Serve immediately, and top with parsley.
• Enjoy!

CREAMY PARMESAN BAKED PASTA

Steps:

• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together the panko, Parmesan and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with the salt and set aside.
• For the pasta: Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 4 minutes, then reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and drain. Set aside.
• Place a medium braiser over medium heat. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then add the cream, whisking. Bring the milk mixture to a simmer, whisking often. Whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with the salt. Fold in the blanched pasta, reserved pasta water and the broccoli florets. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and bake in the top third of the oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

LINDA'S SPAGHETTI WITH VEAL PARMESAN

Steps:

• Boil water for spaghetti, and cook as directed on box. When done, drain, and set aside with cover on pan, to keep hot.
• Meanwhile put the bread crumbs on a lg. dish. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites in a bowl.
• Dip veal fillets first in the egg whites, then in the bread crumb mix.
• Turn heat on high, and place a lg. frying pan on burner. Add oil, and let get nice and hot.
• Add veal fillets, and cook on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
• In a 9x13" pan spread out enough spaghetti sauce to cover where you will be placing the fillets.
• Place the fillets on the sauce mixture. Cover with cheese.
• Top with spaghetti sauce, and bake in a 350 oven, for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
• Add about 1 cups of sauce into drained spaghetti. Mix in well.
• Serve spaghetti onto plates.
• Add more spaghetti sauce on top.
• Place fillets onto plate.
• Note:.
• You can sprinkle Parmesano Reggiano cheese on top of each serving.

LINDA'S PARMESAN PASTA

Steps:

• Melt large scoop of butter in large skillet. Add cooked noodles.
• Toss in parmesan, parsley and olive oil to taste. (I usually add a bit of garlic powder too)
• Remove from heat & serve

LINDA'S PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to box directions, drain and let cool (do not overcook pasta, or salad will be mushy). Refrigerate.
• Meanwhile, slice and dice all veggies, and put in a big bowl. Refrigerate.
• When all is chilled mix veggies in with pasta, and add salad dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all well.
• *Save some of the salad dressing to pour on just before serving. When it's time to serve you can add more salad dressing, if you like more. The pasta has a tendency to soak up salad dressing as it marinates, so I save some to add right at serving time.
• Variations:.
• Use kalamata, or green olives instead of black.
• Add little corn ears.
• Add your favorite cheese, any hard, American or Feta.
• Add cheese and diced pepperoni, or hard salami.
• Add frozen green peas, thawed.
• Add radishes, diced, or sliced.

STUFFED SHELLS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until the paste turns one shade darker, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée, season with salt, then bring to a simmer. Cover halfway to reduce splattering, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan and the egg yolks. Grate the garlic directly into the bowl, then season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine, then set aside.
• Add the shells to the boiling water and cook until just shy of al dente. (You'll want to cook the shells about 2 minutes less than the minimum time listed on the package, as the shells will continue to cook in the oven in Step 5.) Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool. Count out 24 shells. (You will have cooked off more shells than will fit in the dish; that's insurance in case any rip. Reserve extras for another use.)
• Stir the pasta water into the sauce, then add half the sauce to a 3-quart/9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread it in an even layer. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling into each of the 24 shells, lining up the stuffed shells in the dish as you go. Spoon the remaining sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you'd like to brown the cheese, you can broil for a few minutes.) Let sit 5 minutes, then serve.

SIMPLE PASTA WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Put pasta into a microwavable dish large enough to give you a little room for stirring and tossing.
• Dot pasta with butter or drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Add plenty of fresh-ground, black pepper.
• Heat in microwave on high 3 to 5 minute at a time, stirring frequently, until thoroughly hot.
• Serve, passing the pepper grinder at the table.
• You can add 1-2 cups of cooked meat (chicken, turkey, and ham are all especially good), and/or 1-3 cups pre-cooked, chopped vegetables. I particularly recommend broccoli, zucchini, onions, and/or green, snap, or snow peas.
