STUFFED SHELLS

If the tomatoes are whole just break them up with a fork or your hand. You probably already knew that, but you never know.

Yeah, I knew. I'm not a complete tard in the kitchen but once people know that you know how to do something then it's expected. The nerve.

I'm thrilled that the feeling of wanting to do this is still hanging in there.

You can use it for vodka sauce too. Just replace the wine with vodka and stir in some heavy cream at the end.

No. Don't eat it if wasn't frozen. I don't eat anything after a few days. I'm not going out like that.

Eh, it will clean you out. Most refrigerators are set at 34, food still grows bacteria and mold. But men are built differently and seem to get away with eating questionable things. Just make sure you cover everything. That freaks me out thinking about it.

Top with homemade sauce...

1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 tsp. minced garlic
12 cup of dry red wine( I use Chianti)
1 tsp. salt
12 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. sugar
12 tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Cook onions in oil for about 2 minutes, add rest of ingredients and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add Meat if desired. Pour over shells and bake until hot and bubbly, top with shredded mozzarella at the last 5 minutes.


Would you use this for lasagna? If not, do you have a recipe for it? I've tried and failed several times with lasagna, the pasta was like cardboard and the entire dish was dry. I didn't think I'd be interested in giving it another shot but if I could get it to turn out like the shells it would be worth another attempt.

You can use it for lasagna too. Maybe try layering more sauce in between so it isn't so dry and make sure you cover the edges of the lasagna completely with sauce or they'll dry out and get crunchy while baking. They have the No Boil Noodles which is probably a lot easier, but I haven't tried them because the regular ones always come out good for me. I just boil them according to the package directions which I think is about 9-10 minutes.

Duchess, I have used both style lasagna noodle, the No Boil work out great! I've used them many times, the key is as Sally stated make sure the pasta noodle is well covered.

Fling on 'Nine' and away you go.

With Duchess' recent forays into the kitchen, I contacted a geologist friend to check and see if Hell is beginning to freeze.

I'll let you know when I get his report.

(Is it a coincidence that the harbingers of the apocalypse ride horses, too?)

I'm inspired.

Making sally's sauce on Sunday; gonna try it with fresh tomatoes.

We're having feta, artichoke, and spinach jumbo stuffed shells, wine and (bakery-bought) tiramisu.
