Susan introduced me to these amazingly simple yet very yummy recipes. I was sick as a dog and on the mend when I decided I was ready to eat something and she made me "feel better pasta". I thought it would be gross- especially in my condition - but it was amazing! And, gentle on the stomach! Now, it's a staple when we're under the weather or just looking for a quick bite to eat. This recipe has also come in handy whenever I fix a dinner I know the kids won't like. I can throw this together and they slurp it up!
Feel Better Pasta (pasta, tomato juice & butter)
-Boil a few cups of macaroni or whatever type pasta you have in your pantry
-After you drain it, fill your bowl with however much you want to eat
- While it's still hot stir in 2-3 tablespoons of butter until it's melted
- Dump in one small can of tomato juice and stir it up
* you can add salt & pepper to taste
*if you used refrigerated tomato juice you may need to microwave it to warm it up
TRY IT BEFORE YOU KNOCK IT !!!!
Hamburger Mac (pasta, ground beef, butter & onion)
-Boil 1 lb macaroni or whatever type pasta you have in your pantry. Drain it and put it back in the pot. Stir in 1/2 stick of butter.
- Brown 1 lb of ground beef with salt & pepper and other savory type seasonings (garlic salt etc) you may like. Don't break down the beef too much. Leave it in small to medium size chunks. Drain it and add it to the pasta.
- Chop an onion and saute' it in half a stick- one stick of butter. Add mixture to pasta.
-Stir it all up and serve it with some garlic bread. Dinner- DONE!
We always make a big batch of it and have left overs for a few days. Sometimes for left overs we'll add some spaghetti sauce to it and top it with cheese before we microwave it- fabulosa!!
Thanks Suz- for bringing so many yummy things into my life :)
