Seven-Layer Pasta Salad





Prep Time:30 min


Start to Finish:8 hr 30 min


Makes:8 servings (adjust ingredients as needed for amount of people expected.)








2 cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta (4 ounces)


2 cups broccoli florets


2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)


1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)


1/3 cup diced red onion


1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing


1/2 cup plain yogurt


2 tablespoons sugar


1/2 teaspoon curry powder


1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 ounces)


1 tablespoon Betty Crocker庐 Bac~Os庐 bacon flavor bits or chips


2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley








1. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Place broccoli in boiling water. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain.


2. While pasta is cooking, layer tomatoes, broccoli, bell pepper and onion in 2-quart glass serving bowl.


3. In medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, sugar and curry powder. Stir in pasta. Layer pasta evenly over onion in serving bowl.


4. Sprinkle with cheese. Top with bacon bits and parsley. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving but no longer than 24 hours.





Special Touch


Use star- or tree-shaped pasta, rotini or any medium shell pasta.





Success


Cooking the broccoli quickly in boiling water softens it slightly and brings out the bright green color. Pat dry with a paper towel so it maintains its crispness.
Pasta Rosa. Take your regular pasta sauce and add a few spoonfuls of mascarpone or cream cheese. Makes a nice and creamy red sauce, I sometimes add leftover cooked chicken to it. Its a nice change.
Baked Pasta





Ingredients:








1 lb. large pasta like shells


1-3/4 cups ham cut in cubes


1-1/2 cups mozzarella cut in cubes


1 cup fresh ground parmesan


3 egg yolks


butter








Instructions:








1. First prepare the ingredients.


2. Once you have everything ready put the water on for the pasta and make the B茅chamel sauce.


3. Start by warming the milk.


4. In another pan melt the butter then add and blend the flour for about 2- 3 minutes mixing constantly with a wooden spoon. Use a low heat.


5. Once the butter and flour are blended add the milk a little at a time. Mix continuously with a wooden spoon. Be certain to avoid lumping!


6. When you've mixed in all the milk grate a bit of nutmeg on top, just a dusting. Add a pinch of salt too.


7. Continue cooking the B茅chamel, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes smooth.


8. Once the B茅chamel is ready put it in a large mixing bowl to cool down a bit.


9. Add the pasta to the water and cook it. It should be firm to the bite you don't want to cook it until it's soft as it will continue to absorb liquids when you bake it.


10. When the pasta is about ready mix the mozzarella, ham, parmesan and egg yolks into the B茅chamel sauce. The drain the pasta well and add it too.


11. Now you can put it into your baking dish. Add some pieces of butter on the top along with a sprinkle of parmesan.





Pasta with Oil and Red Hot Pepper


This is the recipe I use most often for pasta. It's really easy fast and flavorful. It's the perfect recipe when you don't have time to cook.





Ingredients:








1 lb. pasta short pasta


extra virgin olive oil


ground red hot pepper


fresh ground Italian parmesan





Instructions:








1. Prepare the pasta as directed.


2. While the pasta is cooking prepare the other ingredients.


3. Once the pasta is ready drain it well and then mix in olive oil. Use enough to keep it from sticking and give it flavor, in most cases 2 to 4 Tbsp. will do.


4. Now mix in the red hot pepper add as much as you like. Some people make it very light and others like to make it really hot.


5. Serve hot with some fresh grated parmesan.











Notes:








Use the best ingredients and this dish won't let you down. Optionally you can add a sprinkle of oregano too.
