This recipe for hamburger goulash with elbow macaroni is an old stand-by straight from Mom’s recipe box. She learned to make this ground beef and macaroni skillet dish by watching her friend’s mom back in the 1950s in a small town in rural coastal Maine. It’s how we learned to cook once upon a time long before the Food Network - at the sides of our moms, grandmas, aunts, and friends’ moms.

Do you enjoy preparing tasty italian sausage & pasta recipes? I hope you try this one. It’s one of my favorite Italian sausage and pasta recipes for ziti with sausage and vegetables, adapted from the cookbook, Jacques Pepin’s Kitchen: Cooking With Claudine
This italian sausage and pasta recipe is one of those quick easy pasta recipes you can turn to again and again. I first made this easy pasta dish for my brother back in the late 1990s. He gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up and its been in my files ever since.

This is a tasty pasta salad recipe perfect for hot summer evenings or toting to picnics and potlucks. It makes a big batch of pasta salad that keeps well in the refrigerator for several days.
I love it because it is full of tasty, colorful vegetables - red and green bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, marinated artichoke hearts, kalamata olives - and dressed with a tangy vinaigrette.

Trying to come up with an idea for dinner that wouldn’t require a trip to the market, tuna casserole suddenly popped into my head.
With a quick check of the fridge and pantry, I realized, that I did indeed have the ingredients for tuna casserole - tuna, small pasta shells, an onion, broccoli, peas, cream of mushroom soup, milk, cheese, and potato chips.
This is a great easy recipe for those times you want to keep things quick and simple. I love a casserole’s make now, bake later versatility. You can mix it together when you have a few minutes to spare, place it in the fridge, and just pop it into a preheated oven at dinner time. While the casserole bakes you can prepare a quick salad, enjoy a glass of wine, or sneak in a few minutes of exercise.
After checking with several cookbooks this is the simple recipe for tuna casserole we’ll be having for dinner tonight. It’s really just a jazzed up version of The Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole that appears on the back of the Campbells Cream of Celery Soup Can.

No man is lonely eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention.

Here’s a quick easy dinner recipe that requires only minimal cooking — just boiling pasta — and is ready in twenty minutes or less. I made it for dinner last week and everyone agreed that it’s a tasty creamy keeper! I used canned diced tomatoes but can’t wait to try it again with fresh when their in season.
