Baked Ziti

Note: This is my favourite recipe for Baked Ziti. It's from the side of the San Giorgio pasta box.

Ingredients
1 package (1 lb) of Ziti, uncooked
3 cups (about 28 oz jar) of Spaghetti sauce, divided
1 3/4 cups (15 oz) ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 egg
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Heat oven to 375°F. Cook pasta according to package directions. In large bowl, stir together hot pasta, 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, egg, oregano, garlic powder and pepper.

In 13x9x2-inch baking dish, spoon pasta mixture; top with remaining 1 1/2 cups sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. 10 servings (1 cup each).

Make-ahead directions: Prepare recipe as directed, but do not bake. Cover with plastic wrap, then foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours or freeze up to 2 months. Thaw frozen version in refrigerator overnight. Remove plastic wrap; replace foil. Bake as directed, adding about 10 minutes to bake time.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Pumpkin Muffins

Image
Note: I used walnuts, but I didn't have a full 3/4 cup, probably only about 1/2 a cup. This would be awesome with chocolate chips, too. Of course, what isn't better with chocolate chips?? These are amazingly light and fluffy. Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup water 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup chopped cashews or walnuts (optional? I think not) Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients - eggs, oil, water, pumpkin In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and incorporate. Add nuts (and chocolate chips?), stir. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Do not overbake. Cool on wire rack. source: http://allrec
