Macaroni recipe

My ex used to have me make macaroni with stewed tomatoes - nothing else. When he first told me about it, I thought, "Eww! That sounds awful!!" But, it grew on me. Maybe it's not main dish fair, but it's a nice and relatively light alternative to potatoes or mac-n-cheese on the side. I've also made mac-n-cheese and added the stewed tomatoes that way as well. Another yummy thing I wouldn't have considered before.

I fix a dish similiar to that, I use chopped garlic, onions, green and red peppers and fresh tomatoes. I saute all of the vegetables, then add the tomatoes. Cook angel hair pasta, when it is done, drain, mix in with the veggies, let simmer for about 5 minutes, and it's ready. Sometimes, I put basil in it as well.

But Macaroni & Cheese is a southern tradition. I raised my chidren on it. I was raised on it. It is also a Island tradition so my husband was raised on it. There is nothing better than "real" Macaroni and Cheese! Baked and loaded with everything that is not good for you. So think you cut it with a knife and it stands by itself. Here is my recipe For large pan: Cook in salt water 1 bag macaroni until nearly limp (I use coarse sea salt) Meanwhile saute finely minced sweet onions and garlic (to taste I use one med onion and one whole garlic) In large bowl combine: 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/4 cup milk Medium bag shredded cheese blend (I use the Italian blend with Asiago) Medium bag shredded cheddar (I use medium sharp) add sauted onions and garlic pinch of pepper (to taste) pinch of red pepper (to taste I use a bit more than a pinch but we like spice) pinch of allspice Spray glass caserole dish with Pam Butter flavor to coat. Cover bottom of bowl with light coating of bread crumbs. Drain pasta (do not run cold water over pasta you want it hot) and add to bowl of other indredients. Mix well. Pour pasta mix into caserole dish. Cover pasta with Sharp Cheddar so no pasta is showing. Stick tooth picks in and "tent cover" with foil. Back at 400 for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes to set. Then serve. Not something to serve everyday but yummy.

Hmmmmmmmm............ i love its taste! Can't help but eat a lot! Well, im not fat tho'.........hehehehehehe! I think i have to buy again tomorrow. Im hungry now!

Mom used to make macaroni and tomatoes. I make it with tomato sauce sometimes, but never thought of adding other things to it! Guess I'm not very creative when it comes to cooking, or I just get hung up on "the way Mom did it." It sounds good, though. I think I'll try something like that.

My mother (and now I) cook macaroni with tomatoes and never made them with cheese. I've tried the macaroni and cheese just once and didn't really like it. We've tried it with a few veggies (onions and bell peppers) and sometimes little chunks of meat. I like that more than the macaroni and cheese.

Adding peppers, onions and tomatoes is a great idea to get some extra veggies in there. I usually just do macaroni with butter and cheese - and use a mixture of mozzerella and cheddar cheese. If I have half-fat cheddar I use that. My local supermarket does a really nice half-fat strong mature cheddar which is great tasting and great with all kinds of dishes.

I make something almost just like that. I also add a handful of Parmesan or pepper jack cheese ( any white cheese i have hanging around works). My kids won't eat it because of the tomatoes but my Mother and Husband love it.
