Besides the normal mac and cheese and spaghetti. Thanks!

Answer 1

I advice you two simply and tasty recipes of my country:
PASTA CACIO E PEPE
Ingredients: Pasta , 2 1/2 Tbsp Pecorino Romano per person, 1/2 tsp black pepper per person, water.

Cook pasta "a dente". Grate Pecorino Romano and add black pepper. When pasta is cooked, drain it and save some of the water used to cook it. You can now sprinkle pasta with Pecorino and pepper, and at the same time you have to add some water (fro pasta) to make Pecorino melt and form a nice and creamy sauce.


PENNE ALL’ARRABBIATA
Ingredients ( Serves 2 )

Penne Pasta - 1/2 pound Ripe Roma Tomatoes - 1 cup, finely chopped ( Or 10 oz crushed tomatoes - canned ) Tomato paste - 1 tbsp Garlic - 2 cloves, medium size, finely chopped Red chilli flakes - 1/2 to 1 tsp Dried Oregano - 1/2 tsp Fresh Parsley - 1 tbsp, finely chopped Olive Oil - 2 tbsp Salt to taste Freshly grated parmesan cheese Method

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta al dente according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep skillet or pot. Add chopped garlic and saute` until fragrant.

2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
2 small zucchini, julienned
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
While pasta is cooking, melt cream cheese and butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir until smooth. Stir in milk, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Mix in chicken, broccoli, zucchini, and red pepper. Cook 3 minutes over medium heat, then reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Serve over fettuccine.

You didn't say how old the child is, but for the veggies & stuff they will not or can not eat, just leave out. the noodles with alfredo sauce is a nice change from the mac n cheese. hope you enjoy!

Answer 5

I have a one year old and she loves this:
Brown ground beef or ground turkey and drain. Add two cans of cambels tomatoe soup, one can of corn drained (or use frozen corn) one can of red kidney beans drained and cook for five or ten minutes then add boiled large elbow macaroni noodles (boil while your browning your meat) It's really fast and kids love it...especially with the corn and beans..I always make extra and freeze some in little jars for her to eat when she can't eat what we are eating. The entire family can enjoy this. (it's called goulash)
