“Lazy” Manicotti With Meat Sauce
I was going to make stuffed shells, but I wasn’t looking forward to stuffing all the individual pasta shells. So I decided to use lasagna noodles and made little roll-ups to look like small manicotti! This approach was quicker, AND it allowed me to easily distribute my filling equally between all the “manicotti.” Hooray for the lazy approach! 😁

This bolognese pasta is full of the taste of Italian home cooking.Cooling the sauce down completely after its made enhances its flavor. You can make a half portion of this recipe by reducing all the ingredients by half, but I think it is convenient to make a bunch and divide it and freeze them it for later use. Recipe by belfy

Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce
I love to use rigatoni with meat sauce because it picks up the sauce so well! Also, I like to change my sauce ingredients depending on what I have around at the time, and what I'm in the mood for, as far as vegetables & toppings go. One thing I almost always add to my sauce is the brown sugar. The kids and I both enjoy the sweetness in the sauce. You can make this into a cheesy sauce by adding parmesan and/or other cheeses and even cream. You can make this into a savory & spicy sauce by adding crushed red pepper and/or other hot peppers. You can add vegetables to the sauce to make a "garden medley." And, you can even make this with vegan meat! Of course sauce will always get better the longer it simmers with the ingredients. This is made quick for dinner. However, if your heart is truly in making the sauce you can continue to simmer it for a few hours or even slow cook it in a crockpot. #pasta #pastasauce #meatsauce #spaghettisauce #pastanight #italiannight

Spaghetti with "Meat" Sauce Spaghetti with "Meat" Sauce
Its summertime and I wanted to make a lentil dinner. Usually I make Lentil Stew but its too hot for that. So I wanted to do something else. I found this recipe in my Forks Over Knives cookbook called Spaghetti with Lentil Ragu. This "meat" sauce is based on that recipe. The recipe calls for diced tomatoes but I chose a can of crushed tomatoes to make a sauce. I also put the lentils through a blender to make the lentils more ground meat like . Topping it with cheddar cheese really finished it off perfectly. I hope you'll like it as much as my family did.
