Baked Spaghetti

This is my favorite "quickie"

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground meat
1 pkg noodles---I use Ziti, spirals, or elbows.
2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 cans spaghetti sauce of your choice.


Brown the meat. Boil the noodles.
Drain the noodles. Add everything to a cassarole dish. Top with more cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes---until the cheese is good and gooey!!!

Shrimp Pasta

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 pound large shrimp - peeled and deveined
2 cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Boil Pasta and drain. In a skillet, saute garlic in olive oil.

After garlic is tender, add shrimp. Cook for 3-5 minutes.

Remove shrimp. Add tomatoes, basil, and parsley. Cook until the liquid is reduced. If you want more juicy sause, don't cook as long!!!!


Return shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 5 more minutes.

Serve over pasta with Parmesan Cheese!

This is something we cook a lot. It does NOT make a lot though, so you may want to double it if cooking for more than 3-4 people. You can also substitute shrimp for crabmeat or other seafood.
