Answer 4

Pasta with Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
Crisp fried capers make an excellent garnish for this dish.

Serves 4 to 6
1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (one 8 1/2 ounce jar), drained, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped very coarse
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup walnuts , toasted in small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 6 minutes
1 small clove garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 1/2 teaspoon)
3/4 ounce grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup)
Table salt and ground black pepper
1 pound campanelli or farfalle
1 medium bunch arugula (about 10 ounces), washed, dried, stemmed, and cut into 1-inch lengths (about 6 cups)
3 ounces goat cheese


1. In food processor, pulse sun-dried tomatoes, oil, walnuts, garlic, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth, about fifteen 2-second pulses, scraping down bowl as needed. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.

2. Bring 4 quarts water to rolling boil, covered, in stockpot. Stir in pasta and 1 tablespoon salt; cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup cooking water, and return pasta to stockpot; immediately stir in arugula until wilted. Stir pasta-cooking water into pesto; stir pesto into pasta. Serve immediately, dotting individual bowls with 1/2-inch pieces goat cheese.

Answer 5

"Veal with Lemon Sauce"
- About 1/2 lb thin sliced veal (the kind for scallopini)
- About 1/2 cup flour for dredging
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup Italian style grated cheese
- About 1/2 Tbl dried parsley
- 1 can chicken broth
- 2 small lemons or 1 large lemon
- 4 Tbl olive oil
- About 2/3 cup canola oil or similar for frying
Tenderize veal with mallot if you have one. If not, don't worry.
In bowl beat eggs with fork, add grated cheese and parsley and mix well. Heat canola oil in large skillet over medium high heat till almost smoking. Dredge veal pieces in flour then dip in egg mixture to coat. Fry once on each side till golden brown. Remove and drain over paper towells. (You may need to fry veal in batches, depending upon size of pan.) Pour off oil from skillet. Return skillet to burner. Add chicken stock, olive oil and juice from lemons to skillet and heat to boiling. Return veal slices to pan and allow to simmer about 2 minutes. Remove veal to serving platter. Raise burner heat to high. Stirring constantly, reduce the stock mixture until it is a thick glaze. Pour sauce over veal slices and serve. A good accompaniment is simple buttered noodles with dried parsley. Another good accompaniment is an orange almond salad made with greens of your choice, a can of manadarin orange slices, pan-toasted blanched almond slivers and a dressing of olive oil and taragon vinegar.
(You can also substitute thin-sliced millanese style steak, or tenderized steak in place of veal. I've even used ground veal. But scallopini style veal is best.)

makes 4-6 servings

Chicken and Mushroom Bake with Rice
5-6 chicken pieces
1 c. water
1 can cream of mushroom or
cream of celery soup (i prefer cream of mushroom)
1/2 c. rice
2 medium carrots, sliced (I sometimes omit)
celery salt, for seasoning
paprika, for seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt, as needed
Place rice in bottom of a baking dish. Pour 1/2 c. water over rice. Add 1/2 can mushroom soup. Stir to mix with rice. Place chicken pieces, salted and peppered, on top of rice mix. Sprinkle with celery salt. Add carrots. Add remaining 1/2 c. water to mushroom soup in can. Stir until well blended. Pour over chicken, carrots and rice. Sprinkle paprika on top, sometimes I add a little parsley (nice pretty effect). Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 325' for 1 hour.
You can also cook this without the rice and carrots.
It makes a nice gravy to pour over cooked rice or noodles.

This casserole is absolutely delicious. Sometimes I fix the
hashbrowns by themselves as a side dish for supper.
Hashbrown Potato/Sausage Casserole
1 pound Brown & Serve link sausages (I prefer maple flavor)
2 pounds. frozen hashbrowns potatoes, thawed
10 oz pkg cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz. sourcream
1 can cream of celery
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 stick butter, melted
Brown sausage, and set aside. Mix all other ingredients together. Put in greased casserole. Bake at 350' for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and place sausage on top. Cook for another 15 minutes. You can also use lil smokies or beef smoked sausage or kielbasa pieces instead of link sausages.
