recipes, coming to you over the next few weeks!
Pasta any long or short pastaexcept tiny rice size pasta like risoni/orzo (use this recipe instead).

Milk any throw in.
Stock powder OR bouillon cube chicken or vegetable.Sub with 1/2 cup extra parmesan + salt to taste.
No stock powder OR parmesan?Add shredded cheese instead!
Add Ins meat, vegetables, bacon, ham, fish.
YES I seriously just raided my fridge!
Then use one of these methods:
1.
No cook Add Ins
For things like canned tuna, frozen and canned corn, baby spinach, olives.
Raw Add Ins
For all raw meats and raw vegetables, like zucchini, bell peppers/capsicum, mushrooms.
So small frozen veg doesnt need to be precooked, whereas fresh does.
Make this with a mix of pasta using whatever opened packets youve got in the fridge!!
but can be done!
Undercook the pastaby 2 minutes per packet because it will cook more in the oven.
This way, your pasta wont be mushy and overcooked and it keeps better too.
And share what combinations YOU come up with!!
