Easy Pesto Pasta Recipe

Some nights in the winter you just want a warm meal but not the hassle of making it. Below is one of my favorite quick pasta meals with pesto sauce.

Ingredients: 

• Box of Pasta (can use any shape but I like farfalle, tortellini, or Rigatoni best)
• Jar of Pesto 
• Sliced black olives
• Sundried tomatoes
• Turkey or Italian Sausage in link form

Steps:

Boil pasta, strain, and set aside. 

Brown the meat using some olive oil in pan. 

Once browned, add olives (drained) and sundried tomatoes into pan. Cook for a few minutes to heat up.

Add pasta back into pan and stir together.

Add Pesto into pan and stir coating all noodles and until heated.

Once all ingredients combined and heated, simply plate and enjoy!

Easy Lasagna Recipe!

 For Befana last week, I made an easy lasagna dish that I make, and it was a hit. Thought I would share with you here. I also decided to venture into YouTube and posted my first ever vlog video. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/ZEm9XRN-rb8.  We can cook this recipe together; I make it in the video. It has gone live, so check it out and let me know how I did.

Lasagna recipe:

Need- box of lasagna noodles 15oz Ricotta cheese package of shredded mozzarella cheese (I used lower fat) sprinkle parmesan and Romano cheese mix 1.5lb ground beef 2 jars sauce (I prefer Del Grosso- Tomato Basil) Salt & Pepper to taste Steps- Cook the noodles and brown the beef adding salt and pepper to taste. Coat bottom of baking dish with thin layer of sauce to prevent sticking. Layer noodles on bottom, add sauce, ground beef, ricotta (spread out), mozzarella, sprinkle cheese, more sauce, layer of noodles, repeat through 3 layers. Use all Ricotta and ground beef before top layer. Finish top layer with sauce, end of Mozzarella, and sprinkle cheese. Cover with foil and place in oven at 350 for 1 hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Remove foil and leave in another 15 minutes to brown top. Enjoy!
