CONNIE'S RECIPE BOX

I have been a recipe collector and have way too many cookbooks and pages torn from magazines! I am on a quest to organize, clean out and simplify my recipes and to get back to an organized meal planning and preparation system! Recipes on this blog will have to pass the "taste test" of my family and will need to be fairly simple to make and of reasonable expense. There is also a desire to use whole grain foods and other long term food storage items!

PASTA ROSA

PASTA ROSA**
This is one of our family's all time favorites and you can't find a more delicious recipe that is quite so easy!!


1 lb Penne Pasta (or other shaped pasta)
1 jar Alfredo Sauce
1 small jar of sun dried tomatoes or roasted bell peppers

Cook Pasta according to package directions.
While cooking, chop the tomatoes or peppers in a food processor or blender until chopped to desired consistency.  Drain pasta then pour into a large bowl or pot.  Add Alfredo Sauce and chopped tomatoes or peppers.  Mix thoroughly and serve immediately, hot.  You may also pour into a casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray and keep warm or reheat when ready to serve OR put in  crock pot on warm until ready to serve.

Optional:  top with grated Mozzarella Cheese and parsley sprigs to look pretty!
Optional:  You could always add cooked, diced chicken as well

    We added Italian Sausage when we made it and it was really good.
