food of the movie under the tuscan sun?

Question

does anyone know any of the recipes from under the tuscan sun, i especially like the pasta meal that was shown when diane lane made the meal. or does anyone know any simple italian pasta meals?

Answer 1

Tons of pasts recipes out there. My favorite is baked rigatoni with Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese. Precook the pasta, drain and pour in a greased casserole and mix in sliced sausage and jarred pasta sauce. Cook until hot and bubbly, then top with cheese for the last few minutes.
Another I like is spinach stuffed shells. Steam chopped spinach with diced onions and a small amt. of garlic and oregano to taste. At the same time cook large pasta shells just until firm, not soggy, then drain.
Mix the spinach with a carton of cottage cheese and some grated mozzarella, and one to two eggs. Stuff each shell and place in a greased casserole. Top each with a spoon of jarred sauce and bake until bubbly, add cheese on top during the last few minutes.
