Answer 2

Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Feta Cheese:

The oil in the sun-dried tomatoes gives the almond-spiced pesto a rich consistency.

1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated fresh linguine
3/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, drained
1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons preshredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Cook pasta according to the package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain through a sieve over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan.

While pasta cooks, place tomatoes and next 6 ingredients (through black pepper) in a food processor; process until finely chopped.

Combine tomato mixture and the reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, stirring with a whisk. Add to pasta; toss well to coat. Sprinkle with feta.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

take a few different kinds of pasta, shapes and colors and cook till done. Rinse with cold water. Add one package of broccolie slaw and a diced purple onions.

Answer 6

SPANISH OAKS (Las Vegas) LASAGNA
POWER LEVEL: High
MICROWAVE TIME: 28 to 34 minutes, total___________________________________
_____________________________
½ pkg. (½ lb.) lasagna noodles
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil
Put salt in the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-in.
dish. Place noodles in dish, then cover with
water and add oil. Cook 5 minutes,
rearrange noodles, then cook for another 3
minutes.

2 cans (8-oz. each) tomato sauce
1 can (6-oz.) tomato paste
1 tablespoon leaf oregano
2 teaspoons basil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic
clove, minced
1 lb. ground chuck beef cooked, drained 2 cups (1-pt.) small curd cottage cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon salt
1 pkg. (6-oz.) sliced Mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a large bowl, mix together tomato sauce,
tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt and
garlic. Spread ½ cup sauce over bottom of
12 x 8 x 2-in. dish. Mix beef with remaining sauce.

In a small bowl, mix together cottage
cheese, egg, parsley and salt.
Layer 3 noodles, half of cottage cheese
mixture, half of Mozzarella cheese and half
of tomato sauce in dish.

Repeat layers. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Cover
with wax paper.

Microwave at High 20 to 26 Minutes, rotating dish ¼ turn every 8 minutes. Letting lasagna stand about
10 minutes helps it hold its shape when cutting. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

VARIATIONS:
Meat: Substitute bulk pork sausage, cooked and drained, for ground chuck; or instead of bulk sausage, use
2 pkgs. (8-oz. each) brown-and-serve sausages, diced (when brown-and-serve sausages are substituted, no
precooking is needed. Sausages heat as assembled casserole microwaves). Or, substitute Italian sausages
diced in the same way as brown-and-serve sausages.
Cheese: Substitute ricotta cheese for cottage cheese and provolone cheese for Mozzarella, and if desired,
romano cheese for Parmesan.

Lasagna With Hard-Cooked Eggs: Hard cook eggs in shell on range top, not in microwave oven. Layer
slices of 3 or 4 hard-cooked eggs over first layer of cottage cheese mixture. Eggs give an especially rich
flavor to lasagna.
