We received this cookbook as a wedding or shower gift. It was one of the first cookbooks I used as a newlywed, trying to figure out how to cook. :) It has simple recipes and a wide range of recipes. This is one of our favorites.
8 ounces uncooked rigatoni or twist pasta
2 T butter or margarine
1 pound cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 t fresh minced garlic
1 (28oz) can whole tomatoes, drained cut into pieces (I ALWAYS buy the petite cut tomatoes in a can, never whole)
2 cups (8oz) shredded Monterrey jack cheese (or I use whatever I have on hand, usually shredded mozzarella)
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile in Dutch oven melt butter. Add sausage, green pepper, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until green pepper is crisply tender (8-10 min). Stir in pasta, tomatoes and cheese. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until heated through. (3-5 min)
Serves 6.
