my favorite pasta is ....... BAKED ZITI! obvious ba? my favorite pasta place is Italliani (have you tried their mushroom? and the bread they dip in olive oil?) masarap din telefono in Cibo (so generous sa mozzarella). but if youre on a budget try pizzeria in mindanao avenue. for 500 bucks, you can get 2 pasta dishes and a small pizza. good enough fora cozy date. if youreon a tighter budget, try sbarro. baked ziti in white sauce costs about 70 plus. i usually order that and a slice of whitecheesepizza.

this pasta dish just became 1 of my faves.... got it form a food magazine cookbook---its a compilation of all their recipesfrom 1995-2000...its the beef/pasta in a sillet.....was looking for a different dish to cook that day and etc...

 

its a "quick and easy"--but it took me quite some time to cook because of the pasta......anyway you simply combine all the ingredients in a skillet and let the stove to do the rest of the cooking. It's great for busy weeknight dinners. For a richer taste on more festive occasions, add sour cream....i recommend u do that coz its taste better...;)

 

ingredients: cooking oil, 3-4 cloves garlic-diced, 1/4 k. ground beef, 1 green pepper-diced, 1 800-gram can crushed tomatoes(this is expensive but well worth it--takes time do it "manually"), 1 386-gram tomato sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 3 tablespoons sugar(at times u may need to put more---depending on ur taste preference), 400 grams elbow macaroni, 1/4 c. water (at times u may need to put more while cooking it), 1 c. sour cream (optional)

 

> In a large skillet, heat cooking oil. saute garlic until fragrant then add ground beef, stirring until it loses its raw color.

 

> Stir in greem pepper, crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season with salt/sugar. Simmer stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes....

 

> Add uncooked elbow macaroni/water. Mix thoroughly with teh sauce. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered, until macaroni is cooked, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes..

 

> If desired, blend in sour cream. Simmer gently; do not let boil.Remove from heat...

 

> Serve warm with toast points or French bread.

 

 

Note:Adding sour cream makes the dish lighter in color but creamier tasting...plus it gives it sort of a tangy taste...;) enjoy.....:)
