Pastacheeseandtrees Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding spinach to the boiling water for the last minute. Meanwhile, cook and stir chicken and garlic in large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 3 min. or until chicken is browned. Stir in pasta sauce and tomatoes; bring to boil. Simmer on medium-low heat 3 min. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese spread until melted.
• Drain pasta mixture well; return to saucepan. Stir in chicken mixture and mozzarella. Spoon into 13x9-inch baking dish; top with Parmesan.
• Bake 10 to 15 min. or until heated through.

Steps:

• Put the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
• Slice the steak as thinly as possible, discarding any large pieces of fat; set aside.
• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions for 1 minute less than al dente. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add the beef in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and cook without stirring, until brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the beef with tongs and brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pasta.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened but not brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the pasta.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat and add the peppers. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened but not brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Add the sour cream, beef broth, 3/4 cup of the sharp provolone, the diced mild provolone and 1 teaspoon salt to the pasta bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with the remaining mild provolone slices. Top with the bell peppers and pickled cherry peppers.
• Bake until the mixture is starting to bubble around the edges and the cheese is melted on top, about 30 minutes. Top with the remaining 3/4 cup sharp provolone and bake until heated through and the top is slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving so the pasta can absorb some of the liquid and the cheese can set.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to directions on box.
• Drain.
• In a casserole dish, toss pasta with butter, then add cheeses.
• Stir in cream.
• Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Put a big pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
• Separate the broccoli into small trees by pulling them apart. Trim off the woody stems of your trees so you can break them up.
• Put the broccoli florets (trees) into a pot and add water enough to just cover the tops.
• The broccoli should cook about 5 minutes once the water comes to a boil. Drain.
• When the pasta water boils, put 4 pinches of salt into the pot and add pasta. Cook to al dente (that's Italian for "done but still with a bite to it"), according to package directions.
• Pour oil and butter into a deep frying pan and heat it up over low heat. When the butter melts, add the garlic and cook it 5 minutes.
• Add the broccoli to the garlic.
• Drain the pasta and add to broccoli. Add the ricotta and grated cheese, and have the GH stir it all up in the big frying pan.
• Add a little salt and pepper and taste the pasta and trees to see how the seasoning is.
