Revolutionary Mac & Cheese

YUMMY! Easy and yummy!

Ingredients:
2 cups dried pasta
2 cups 2% milk
1 cup loosely packed shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dijon mustard


Directions:
In a small saucepan, add pasta and milk.  Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, until pasta is soft, stirring frequently and ensuring milk does not boil.
Turn heat off, add cheese, salt & mustard and stir to combine.  Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes, then stir again and serve.


If you would like to bake it at this point, place in a baking dish and top with a generous sprinkling of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 10 minutes until cheese has melted.
Makes enough for 2 people.

Fettucine with Fresh Herbs

 This is a quick pasta to make when you' can't think of what to make for dinner! I'm sure any kind of pasta would work and I only used chopped parsley and it still tasted good!

8 ounces fettucini
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 C fresh chopped parsley
1/2 C fresh chopped basil
4 tomatoes, cored and chopped
salt and pepper
Parmesan Cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Saute garlic in olive oil until tender. Add pasta, herbs, and tomato. Heat through. Season with salt, pepper and cheese. Serves 4-5. DELICIOUS and really easy!
