ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOM AND PASTA SKILLET

Steps:

• Saute onions, mushrooms and garlic until onions are clear. Add zucchini and cook until it is crisp-tender. Drain excess water from the skillet.
• Add mozzarella cheese and allow to melt.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
• Drain pasta and add 1 jar spaghetti sauce to pasta.
• Serve pasta topped with veggie mix.
• I often make this recipe as three separate pieces -- pasta, veggies and cheese, and let each of us assemble our own. In addition, I also will marinade a chicken breast in Italian salad dressing and then cook it up in strips or cubes and add to this delicious goodness.

CURRY PASTA

Steps:

• Start sauce first, as it needs to simmer to thicken.
• Pour the can of broth into a medium sized pot and start simmering it.
• Carefully add 1/2 stick of butter, cut into chunks. Stir until melted.
• Add the curry powder, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
• Sample the sauce to see if the flavor suits you or if you need to add more curry powder.
• In a separate pot, start making the pasta according to the package directions. Drain when done and add the remaining butter, stirring to coat.
• When the sauce has simmered for 5 or 10 minutes, carefully add the coconut cream.
• Sample the sauce again to be sure the flavor is right for you. Notice how the coconut cream enhances the curry flavor without diluting it-mmmm!
• Continue simmering the sauce, whisking occasionally, until it reaches the thickness you desire, or until you cannot stand waiting any longer.
• Serve the sauce over the pasta with a side of crusty bread to dip.
