Chicken Fettucini

Wow!  I got this recipe from a contributor to Southern Plate.  I normally make a quick version of fettucini with Campbell's mushroom soup but this one is from scratch.  I can't wait to try it!

Beef and Macaroni Goulash

My mom made the best goulash with ground beef that I have ever tasted.  I have tried and tried to match hers but I failed to do so.  When I saw this recipe I thought that it came close but I am sure she always added celery and onion.  Maybe a pinch of brown sugar and prepared mustard too.  Mom is gone now but I will continue to try and duplicate her recipe.  She always made it from scratch and never followed any written instruction.  We talked about it on occasion but I never wrote down her helpful hints.  I wish I had now.

    * 1 lb. ground beef
    * 1 med. onion
    * 1/2 c. chopped green pepper
    * 2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce or 1 (1 lb. 13 oz.) can undrained tomatoes and 1 can tomato sauce and omit water
    * 2 c. water
    * 2 c. macaroni noodles (6-8 oz.)
    * 2 tbsp. sugar
    * 2 tsp. salt


INSTRUCTIONS
In Dutch oven, brown ground beef. Drain excess fat. Add onion and green pepper.
Continue frying until tender. Add rest of ingredients. Cover; reduce to simmer 20
minutes or so until macaroni is tender. The beef goulash recipe serves 4-6 persons.

Recipe: Fiery pepper pasta

Padma Lakshmi

Ingredients

• 1 pound dry spaghetti or thin spaghetti
• Approx. 1-2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
• 1 cup olive oil
• 4-5 peeled, crushed garlic cloves
• 2 cups diced green bell pepper*
• 2 cups diced red bell pepper*
• 1 tablespoon crushed red chili flakes
• Fresh chopped herbs like parsley or dill (optional)

Preparation

1. Boil a large pot of water with salt on high heat until to a gently rolling boil. Toss and stir in pasta and cook to package instructions or al dente, usually 7-9 minutes.
2. While pasta is cooking, place a strainer at the ready in sink. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. When hot, add bell peppers and then after 3-4 minutes add the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until peppers are softened and garlic is just barely turning golden but not brown.
3. Stir in chili flakes, and then remove skillet from heat before garlic turns dark as this will make it bitter.
4. Remember to remove and drain pasta in time and toss together with the peppers. Serve warm.
5. Stir in fresh parsley or dill.
(*Yellow and orange bell peppers are also nice instead)

make the difference in the way it tasted. Thanks MOM!
