Pizza pasta

1 lb ground beef or turkey
2 tbsp Italian seasoning
4 oz pepperoni, chopped
2 cups water
4 cups spaghetti, uncooked
1 cups shredded cheese
1/2 cup black olives, chopped (optional)
1 cup peppers, sliced (optional)

Brown meat (both ground turkey and pepperoni) with Italian seasoning. When meat is done, pour it into a large pot with pasta sauce and water. Stir in pasta. Cover and cook on medium until pasta is done. Top with olives, peppers, and cheese.

Chicken Alfredo

chicken pieces (We did 2 boneless breasts, 4 boneless thighs, and 6 legs)
salt
flour
olive oil or cooking spray
1 bag of egg noodles

SAUCE:
3 tsp garlic, minced
3 tbsp onion, minced
4 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 1/2 tsp pepper

Rinse chicken; salt; coat in flour. Fry chicken in olive oil or cooking spray until mostly done. In a saucepan, combine ingredients for alfredo sauce. Simmer over medium heat, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps. Remove chicken from heat, placing it in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour alfredo sauce over chicken. Bake on 350 degrees for about an hour, until done. While chicken is baking, boil the pasta; set aside.
Remove chicken from oven. Place chicken pieces on plate; pour sauce over pasta.

Creamy macaroni and cheese

I have tried many (and I stress the word MANY) macaroni and cheese recipes, but this one is the keeper. It's simple and yummy!

2 cups elbow macaroni, boiled and drained
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cups milk
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded or chunked small

Boil pasta according to directions. Place strained pasta in baking pan.
In medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour. Gradually add remaining ingredients, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour mixture onto waiting pasta.
Bake 20 minutes until slightly browned and bubbly.

Lasagna

This is, by no means, low fat. But it is the best lasagna I've ever made.

2 lbs ground turkey
2 cans Del Monte pasta sauce
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
Italian seasoning
3 lbs cottage cheese
Lasagna pasta
1 lb Mozzarella cheese

Brown meat, adding in Italian herbs while browning. When browned, pour in pasta sauce. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix together parsley, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs really well.
In 2 9x13 in baking pans, layer lasagna pasta, pasta sauce, Mozzarella cheese, and cottage cheese mixes until about 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1-1 1/2 hour or until pasta is well done.
