I love me some mac and cheese. I do the classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese and I’ve done that amazingly delicious Garlic Bacon Mac and Cheese. But this recipe for Tuscan Chicken Mac and Cheese is another level of the classic. The chicken and spinach make this heartier and this is a dish that you will want to make again and again.

I love how creamy and rich the sauce on this recipe came out. Not only was is delicious but it clung to the penne perfectly so every bite gives you flavor. This Spinach Ricotta Penne is a perfect comfort food recipe when you want some flavor but still get your vegetables. I love using spinach in recipes because it’s so versatile and this dish is no different. The ricotta makes the sauce very thick so save a bit of pasta water so thin it out if you need to.

Well after a nice week in Florida, it’s back to business! I’m coming to you today after starting a new job so super easy dinners with no prep are really in my wheelhouse right now. This is a beyond easy recipe. It’s literally boiling and mixing. You can use canned sauce for this if you want but I make my own and I found it really makes the flavor incredible. If you spend some free time on a weekend making a batch of each sauce, all you need to do it boil and bake! You can find my Alfredo recipe here and my homemade sauce recipe here. This also reheats really well so if you need something to last a few days for leftovers, this is perfect! Continue reading “Tomato Alfredo Ziti Bake”
Alfredo sauce is a classic. Who doesn’t drool over a big ole plate of fettuccine alfredo? This Easy Alfredo Sauce is quick to make and only requires a few ingredients so you don’t need to make a grocery run. I like using the skillet to make this as I think it cooks more evenly but you can absolutely use a saucepan also. The most important thing to remember is that your cooking temperature is very important in this. Butter has a high fat content and if the heat is too high, it will separate from the milk and looks very watery. You want a nice, creamy thick sauce that will coat your pasta so if you notice a greasy looking mix, lower the heat and it should mix back together again. Continue reading “Easy Alfredo Sauce”
