EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

“When using any ground meat, I rinse it off in hot water after cooking to remove even more fat. I have found that the fewer ingredients in a dish, the less added fat it contains.” Nancy D.

Here’s a real all-family staple recipe. Studies confirm that a low-fat diet rich in milk, milk products, fruits and vegetables (pasta sauce counts as a vegetable!) may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure and other factors for heart disease.

I used Italian chicken. I also used 4oz pizza sauce with the pasta sauce. Used fusilli macaroni instead of pinwheels. I also made Texas toast with a butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic (fresh) and basil mixture. The meal was very simple. A burst of flavor.

Tasted very good! My toppings: pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, bell pepper, kalamata olives, onion flakes, oregano, garlic, parmesan & mozzarella cheese, and I also used 1 full lb of sweet Italian sausage, skin removed, so it was very meaty. And for an authentic taste, I used pizza sauce instead of pasta sauce. Yes, it was basically pizza with no crust. I think I overcooked the pasta because the texture came out too mushy, so I recommend serving on garlic toast for a bit of crispiness.

Didn't realize until I started the meal that you had to cook the pasta and sausage. I'm sure it will be good, but if you want to eat this meal, and are in a hurry, you would probably be better off making pasta and suasage the night before.
