A Recipe is Likened...

A recipe is likened to a personal expression of poetry/prose... When shared with others, it extends a part of our innermost being... For others to enjoy for years to come, not short lived like a rose. A recipe takes on our individuality and culinary expression, talent and skill... Brings to mind the likes/dislikes of family and friends, memories of special gatherings... Sharing a part of ourselves with others, making memories, spanning time our "appetites" they fill.

Pizza Pasta

Dinner was easy tonight...had been wanting to try a Pizza Pasta Casserole recipe that I had seen...so with a few changes that's what happened!

Everything that I had seen made TOO much or had different ingredients than those that I had on hand.

Paula's Pizza Pasta

1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage

1 medium onion, chopped

8 oz. Rotini Pasta, cooked al dente

2 cans Hunt's Dinner Starters (Pizza)

2 cups Italian blend cheese (Mozzarella, Romano, Provolone, Asiago & Parmesan)
4 oz. sliced pepperoni

In large skillet, swaute Italian sausage until cooked through. Add chopped onion & continue to cook for 8-10 minutes. Add cooked & drained pasta, Hunt's sauce. Preheat oven to 350. Pour Pasta mixture into 13x9 casserole dish. Top with shredded cheese & place pepperoni over cheese. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
