Categories     Dinner Recipes for two

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces rotini pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups leftover diced ham
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar, divided
2 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375, and lightly butter an 8x8" oven-safe dish.
  • First, cook the rotini pasta in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente--about 1-2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute until homogenous. Whisk constantly.
  • Next, stream in the milk, 1/4 cup of the cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Lower the heat and cook while stirring occasionally until slightly thickened. It will take about 5-8 minutes, and the mixture will coat the back of a spoon when it's properly thicken.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cream sauce, sour cream, 1 cup of the grated cheddar, ham and the sliced scallions. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream evenly over the mixture.
  • Cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 minutes to slightly crisp up the cheese on top.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Dinner     Casserole     Comfort Food

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 ounces fusilli pasta
Salt for pasta water
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced,
4 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper (more to taste)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and basil)
3/4 teaspoons salt (more to taste)
3 ounces (about 1 cup, packed) shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces (about 1 cup, packed) shredded Mozzarella cheese
10 ounces diced ham (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh green onion greens or chives

Steps:

  • Make pasta: Put a big pot of salted water onto boil on high heat for the pasta (4 quarts, 2 tablespoons salt). While the pasta water is heating, prep the other ingredients. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the pasta and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Let the water return to a rolling boil and cook, uncovered, for 9 to 10 minutes, until the pasta is "al dente", cooked through but still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make roux: Melt the butter in a large (3 to 4 quart), thick-bottomed pot on medium heat. Add the minced garlic. Let the garlic sizzle for a few seconds. Add the flour and whisk so that any lumps are dissolved. Let the roux (flour and butter) bubble and cook for a minute or two.
  • Make the sauce: Slowly add the milk and cream, a quarter cup at a time, whisking until incorporated after each addition. Increase the heat to medium high. Add 1⁄4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and 1⁄2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. (You may want to increase these later to taste.) Add 1⁄2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Add half of the shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, whisking until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt (again, you may want to increase this to taste). Stir in 1 cup of water (can use pasta cooking water if you want).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Combine pasta with sauce, ham, parsley, onion greens: Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the ham. Add the chopped parsley and onion greens or chives. Gently stir to combine. Taste, and add more nutmeg, salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to taste.

NOODLE OMELETTE



Noodle Omelette image

I created this for my kids. It's very quick to make and they love it. You can use any flavoured 2 minute noodles although I have only ever used chicken. The cheese can be optional, I have made this without cheese. My husband loves to add mushrooms, tomatoes & onions to this for himself but the kids don't like that. I make this often on those nights when I don't have much time & I usually serve it with sausages & hash browns or salad.

This is recipe given to me by a girlfriend which she got off a cooking show (she can't remember which one) but she o'kay it is not gourmet but it does taste pretty good and it is quick. Served with a salad and a healthy meal. No brand of 2 minute noodles was specified but could only get ZAAR to accept Maggi.
