I am training for a marathon and it is suggested that I eat lots of pasta. I would like some good, cheap recipes that have pasta in them.|||Pasta Salad with Tomatoes: Easy Recipe

InstructionsThings You'll Need:
16 ounce package pasta
3 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup black olives
2 cloves minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
salt, or sea salt
pepper
Step 1Boil the Pasta
In a pot of boiling water, cook pasta until done. It takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on the pasta used. Drain the pasta.

Step 2Mix All Ingredients
Mix pasta and other ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.

Step 3Refrigerate Before Serving
Refrigerate, or serve immediately. The pasta is good hot or cold, but is best when the ingredients have time to mix well.

Step 4Garnishes and Substitutions
*This pasta salad is excellent topped with shredded or Parmesan cheese.
*Can be made with 1/8 cup dried basil instead of fresh basil.
*May also be seasoned with cayenne pepper for extra spice.
*Red wine vinegar can add a little zing to this dish.

How to an Easy Shrimp and Pasta Dinner

InstructionsThings You'll Need:
Any size raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
garlic minced about 3 tsp.
1/8 c. dried parsley
1/3 c. butter
salt
a box of Pasta Roni-Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs
1 1/3 c. water
2/3 c. milk

Step 1Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic and cook until the shrimp are pink. Add the parsley and salt. Mix well. (Try to refrain from eating all the shrimp). Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 2Bring milk and water to a boil in a medium size pot. Add the pasta and seasonings and stir to keep the noodles from sticking together. (They are bad about that). Cook until the noodles are tender according to the directions on the box. Remove from heat. Toss with the shrimp in the frying pan and allow the sauce to thicken. Serve and enjoy.

Step 3Not only is this dish easy to make, it can also be a very special meal combined with a wine and a beautiful dessert. Make this meal one night with candlelight and soft music for your significant other.|||Well training for a marathon your gonna need meat fro protien too so my best guess would be spagetti and meatballs but make it interesting. Add your own speacial seasoning or something but cheese on top and it taste awsome.|||meat sauce over pastsa|||Carbo loading?

Pasta is cheap and goes with everything- you can mix in lots of different things to a pan full of cooked noodles: a can of tuna, some imitation crab, baked or poached fish, grilled chicken breast, or any variety of steamed vegetables.

Tonight, we had what I'd call lazy lasagna:

precooked meatballs
2 jars Ragu
1 big tub Ricotta cheese
1 lb mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
1 raw egg, beaten


shred about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, slice the rest thin. Mix the shredded cheese, the ricotta, and the egg until well blended. Get a really big baking pan- dump in meatballs, the ricotta mixture, and the sauce. Mix it all together, and put the sliced cheese across the top. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes, then turn up to 450F for about ten minutes- until the cheese is brown. Remove from oven, let sit about 10 minutes, then dig in. This also keeps a few days afterward, and freezes well for quick easy meals later in the month.|||broccoli sauted in garlic, oil and chicken stock - add this sauce to your favorite pasta. You need the chicken stock for extra liquid|||I like a good Mexican Fideo...you can use Fideo in the yellow box or Spaghetti noodles...

My recipe:
Brown/drain 1lb ground beef...add a large can of tomato sauce, 1 large can of stewed sliced tomatoes, 1 diced whole white onion, 1 or 2 seeded chopped fresh jalapenos, 1 diced green bell pepper, 1/2 a bunch of chopped fresh cilantro (no stems...unless you chop them real fine and simmer all day), 1 Tbsp each of Cumino, garlic powder, chili powder, and a tsp each of salt n pepper (to taste). Simmer until onion is opaque. Serve over cooked pasta. You can crumble some Queso Blanco (Mexican White Cheese) on top.
