Have basic ingredients you don't know what to do with? Here's a simple and delicious recipe for you!

A pasta casserole recipe featuring chicken breast, pasta shells, tomatoes and cheese combined and baked to melt the cheese.

Easy pasta dish that takes minutes to put together and always satisfies. My children call it Beef-a-roni, but it has more than just ground meat in it. Not for the weight-conscious however. It's rich and filling.

You can include vegetables by cooking broccoli and/or cauliflower with the pasta...

Living now on Florida's Gulf Coast, I often crave the heavenly taste of an original runza from Lincoln, Nebraska. The addition of celery and bell pepper ups the freshness level in this casserole and lightens the calories. Best of all is that zunza goodness - without the bun.

Both my picky eaters, my husband and son, loved this one. My husband suggested I add more cottage cheese next time, but the fact that he wants it again speaks volumes. Very comforting, good weeknight dinner.

Turkey & Zucchini Pasta Casserole

A mildly spicy casserole .

This was a throw-together recipe for a potluck. I did it as a one-pan prep, first boiling the noodles and vegetables. Then while they were draining, I cooked the peppers, onions and garlic in the same pan. They were added to the draining noodles and then I used the same pan for making the sauce. Everything then was combined into the same pan to mix all together before placing in a slow cooker or casserole dish to bake with the bread crumb topping. Bake for 20 min at 350ºF if cooking in the oven.
Feel free to mix in whatever vegetables you have on hand: broccoli, zucchini/summer squash, etc.

This is a variation on another user's Pizza Pasta Casserole with some "healthier" ingredients that I use in my home.

Can be made with any shape pasta you like. Add extra veggies when available.

A spicy and healthy dinner the whole family will love.

Using the bagged pasta and peas makes this a super quick meal to prepare. I added the onions, pepper and ground cumin to give it a southwestern flavor, since the cheese I was using was a Fiesta Blend.

Tuna w/ a twist, delightfully delicious and tasty.. mm mm good

This is a great dish for the whole family.

This is super delicious! I altered this recipe from Cooking Light August 08 by adding chicken and changes some of the amounts. It is great because you can make a large batch and freeze it for quick lunches during the week!

Versitile one dish meal that can be served as a hot entree, salad, or soup.

Quick and easy meal that your whole family will enjoy!

This is a great low-fat dish for those with a tight schedule who need something to "throw together."

adapted from Mormon potatoes, to make a nice one dish meal.

Fast and Delicious!
