Baked Penne Parmesan

baked-pastaI love recipes that take me all of 10 minutes to prepare and that will serve a few meals during the week. This beyond-easy pasta dish is one of those recipes that I make on Sundays and portion for lunches during the week.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cook pasta 1 minute short of indicated on the packaging.
  3. Toss the drained pasta into the marinara sauce.
  4. Add the Mozzarella to the pasta and stir to distribute evenly.
  5. Pour the pasta into a medium baking dish.
  6. Top with the shaved cheese.
  7. Place the dish on a baking sheet to prevent oven drips and bake for 25 minutes.

Makes 2 generous entrée-size servings.

Note: I received a sample container of Sartori Cheese that I will now add to my grocery list.

12 September 2016 Crustless Chipotle Cheesy Quiches

Crustless Chipotle Cheesy Quiches

September 12, 2016 By

cooked-quichesI’m one of the ambassadors for #FoodieChats, a Monday evening Twitter chat where we socialize with thousands of foodies about all things food! Every week, we welcome a sponsor who informs us, in a fun way, about its products or services. This week, Sartori Cheese is our sponsor, and eventhough I don’t do a lot of product reviews, when Sartori Cheese offered to send me a few of their cheeses, I accepted – who doesn’t love cheese!

My really tough task, was to come up with a recipe featuring the delish cheeses sent to me. REALLY tough…not! I actually came up with two recipes, and I’m sharing the first one below. It’s a quick dish you can make on Sundays that are fast to reheat in the microwave during those busy weekday mornings.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Coat 6 of the cups of a 12 muffin pan with cooking spray, be generous.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl (for easy pouring, I use an 8-cup measuring cup), whisk the eggs with the water, salt and pepper until fully blended, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour an equal amount of the egg mixture into the 6 muffin cups.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese equally over the egg mixture.
  6. Place the muffin pan on a sheet tray (in case of drips) and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the egg is no longer runny – the quiches will be puffy like a soufflé.
  7. Allow the quiches to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then unmold and let cool completely.
  8. Store the quiches in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use – up to a week.
  9. To reheat, place two quiches on a plate, cover with a paper towel and microwave for 60-90 seconds.

Makes 3 servings (2 quiches each).
