This is one of my favorite dinners served with Dilled Carrots (recipe can be found at link below)
Hello,
Not to long ago I did a little spin on a great Italian recipe ';Stuffed Shells';. I decided to add Sausage to the recipe to make it a bit more filling and it turned out great. You can check out the recipe at my site with pictures and everything.

Pesto chicken I make this all the time.
You need basil 2 bunches will do for two, garlic 2 cloves, evoo 2 to 3 tablespoons, Parmesan 1/4 of a cup, and roasted pine nuts I use a handful salt and pepper to taste.
Blend all in a food processor or (with a hand held food processor I use one made by braun you can get one at walmart for about twelve bucks) blend into a paste.
Grill two boneless chicken breasts and cut into strips.
cook enough pasta for two and drain then add back to the same pot with the pesto. Add chicken and heat till hot.
Serve with more cheese and your favorite bread.
If it seems to dry you can add some more oil to the pot while heating. This is a meal that makes your whole house smell wonderful.
something really easy is chinese, it's just stuff you throw together:
for sweet and sour chicken, get some of the Tyson honey battered chicken nugget things, and a couple jars of sweet and sour sauce (hop sing brand is the best i found so far). white rice with chicken boullian (sp?) in the water.
for 'crab-less' rangoon, won ton wrappers; smaller, cream cheese, lemon pepper, garlic powder, red pepper and bacon bits. all the spices are to taste. kind of soften the cream cheese and stir the other ingredients together and put about a spoonful inside the wrappers, freeze what you have, for at least an hour and then deep fry until golden. the freezing keeps the middles in check.
my husband loves it! but my husband isn't very picky. i doubt it will work for a picky eater...but it is an idea, though.
A really good and simple stir fry:
three boneless pork chops (about half a pound) slightly frozen
cut into small strips or cubes
put in a bag with about half a cup of soy sauce, and a pinch of ginger, let marinate for two hours.
Chop and line up on a tray in this order:
half an onion, thinly sliced in half rings
half a pepper, cut in long thin slices
thinly sliced carrots (however many you want)
a handful of broccoli florets
a handful of cauliflower florets
a handful of bean sprouts
a handful of sliced mushrooms (shittake are good for this)
two handfuls of finely chopped cauliflower (not coleslaw mix)
in a wok heat about three tablespoons of oil and brown drained meat and onions, add each ingredient waiting a moment between each, finishing with the cabbage, stir for about three minutes, then cover and steam for a moment. Everything should be crisp-tender. Use any vegetable you like. Squashes are great too, but some people don't like them. Serve with rice and fruit, and some rich dessert!
I make something called stuffed shells- my hubby LOVES them!
I boil large shells- pasta aisle- till done, and drain completely. Dry as much as possible, and let them cool.
While that is going on, I mix
1 tub ricotta cheese
3/4 c. shredded mozarella cheese
2/3 c. parm. cheese- grated(in the shaker) OR shredded- I use a mixture of both
1/3 c. Bread crumbs
1 egg
2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream/milk
Mix all this with your hands or if you have a stand-up mixer, a paddle. The mixture should be doughy, not any liquid at all. If it looks to lookse, add a bit more bread crumbs, or a bit of heavy whipping cream or milk is too stiff.
Once that is done, put the filling in the boiled and cooled shells and pour your fav sauce over them in a pan- a red sauce is good, but my fav is a tomato-alfredo sauce. Bake this, with foil on it, for 30-45 minutes.
I make this with a chicken cesar salad and garlic bread. it's yummy and easy to make! And the hubby loves it!!!
This baked ziti always goes over well. My stepdaughter first made from the recipe on the box of ziti, and we have modified it slightly. But, you need a good sauce (but then, don't we always need a good sauce)
Baked Ziti
1 T Olive Oil
½ lb. lean ground beef
1 Cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
26-30 ounces jarred marinara sauce (prefer home made)
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
16 ounces Ziti – cooked 8 minutes and drained
15 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat, add beef, onion and garlic. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Combine 1 cup sauce mixture with the ziti. Spoon half of the ziti mixture into a sprayed 9 x 13x 2 casserole dish; top with all the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup sauce, remaining ziti mixture and remaining sauce.
Cover and bake @ 350 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan. Bake uncovered 20 minutes longer or until heated through.
If he likes Chinese, I marinade a nice london broil overnight with light soy sauce and onions. I serve with caramelized onions on top and fettuccine Alfredo and a salad with blue cheese dressing and home made biscuits. It is really easy, but it tastes good. A little Chinese flavor and Italian as well.
Chicken parmesan (http://southernfood.about.com/od/chicken… and garlic bread. Sizzling chicken and cheese (http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/28… not italian or chinese but GREAT!
Try this-
1lb Sea bass fillet marinaded in 2 tbsp white miso paste and 1/4 cup sake overnight then sprinkle with fresh grated ginger before throwing it on the grill for about 20 mins on med high turning once after 8 mins.
Serve with mushroom risotto
Try some Pork Chop. Lipton Knorr Sesame Chicken Rice. and California Blend vegetables. For dessert, try homemade Banana Pudding baked in the oven.
The dish he loves to eat or the one you cook the best, I wish i could fry and eat the most precious gift of a girl for his man
Men LOVE casseroles....
