Cheesy Pasta Recipes

This homemade mac-n-cheese is packed with veggies and is ready in just 20 minutes!

A deliciously fresh and healthy whole wheat pasta dish that's quick and easy to prepare even for a novice cook. Great summer dinner served with a mixed green salad.

If you have leftover cooked chicken this is a good easy recipe. If you use only cheddar or buy Cabot lactose free Monterey Jack cheese this recipe can be lactose free. My husband is lactose intolerant and this is a great recipe for him.

We used fresh pumpkin that our kids picked out. Since they helped make it, they were eager to try it!

You can use any sauce you like but I prefer something with chunky veggies. I like A LOT of sauce but if you don't you can easily cut it down to just 4 oz. You can add in any extra veggies you like too.

Very flavorful & easy to make meatless casserole.

A really quick and easy cheesy recipe.

On a cold ugly day, nothing more satisfying then comfort food. The oohhy gooey cheese and fresh basil make this dish a delight. Serve with a nice side salad and garlic bread and you have wonderful pasta meal that is 1/3 of the calories of a restaurant. You know what? It tastes better too!!

A tasty, quick meal and a great source of fiber and protein. Serve with a tasty green veggie (broccoli, salad, or green beans).

**Note: The amount of sodium listed is before the sausage is boiled.

Substitute Lean Ground Turkey in place of the Sausage. It'll bring Calorie count to 410, Sodium to 808.6 mg, and Protein to 19.6g per serving.
For lower calories, sub Extra Lean Ground Turkey in place of sausage which brings Calorie count to 387, Sodium to 805.7mg, and Protein to 21.9g per serving.

This is a great alternative to heavy cream pastas. I usually make this once a week and it reheats the next day incredibly well. LESS THAN 7g fat and ALMOST 7g Fiber per serve!
I also highly suggest you add a large salad to this to complete it as a meal. I don't know about you, but I always find it very easy to over eat any pasta dish, especially if it's baked with cheese. So I usually add a large salad with a little feta and lots of cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and some lemon juice and a touch olive oil. Really fills me up so I don't envy my husband, who chows down 3 servings of Pasta bake easily.

This is a variation on Spinach Chicken Bake submitted by Silly_Me. The original was too bland and not filling enough for me, so I added pasta, and changed some of the ingredients to liven it up a bit.
