A quick recipe! Easy to make.

Posted by admin on October 12th, 2008

Contrary to popular belief, this blog isn’t just about reviewing feminine and womanly products. It’s a general blog FOR women. This is why I’m putting up this quick and easy recipe. If you have kids, they’ll most likely love this. My cousins and I grew up eating this, and our working mothers were happy to make it because it was fast!

It made them happy, it made us happy, and it’s sure to make YOU happy.

Even if you don’t have kids, you’ll still love this quick and simple meal. After a grueling day at work, you’ll appreciate something that’s cheap to get, quick to make and delicious to eat.

You just take one pound of pasta or spaghetti and dump it into a pot of boiling water. Make sure the boiling water has a table spoon of olive oil in it. This is to make sure the pasta doesn’t stick when it’s drained.

To make this a little more healthy, you can use whole wheat pasta. I personally like whole wheat pasta better than white flour pasta. Whole wheat pasta fills you up faster, doesn’t make you tired like white flour pasta does, and it keeps you fuller longer.

Cook the pasta until it’s just about how you like it - or read the directions on the box if you don’t know how long you should cook it for.

I cook my whole wheat pasta for about seven minutes, give or take. I like my pasta al dente.

Remember: Pasta continues to cook even after you strain it.

Then strain the pasta and put as much of it as you want for you or your kids in a bowl, and put on the grated cheese!

Viola. You’re done!

Some people also like to put all of the pasta back in the pot it cooked in or in a big bowl and mix a little bit of butter or margarine on it to make the grated cheese stick better. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It’s really just a judgment call.

Whenever I make it now for myself lately I haven’t been putting it on at all. I like it better without the butter or margarine to be honest. But like I said, it’s up to you.

By the way, as for the cheese, I personally like 4C’s Parmesan and Romano cheese mix. It doesn’t have the weird after taste that Kraft’s grated cheese does. It’s also 100% imported from Italy, so you know that it’s good.
