Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
1 fryer, boiled, skinned, boned and cut into bite-sized pieces (or use 4
chicken breasts)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cans cream of chicken soup (cream of celery works well, too)
16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 small can (7 oz) mushroom stems and pieces, do NOT drain!
3/4 soup can of milk
1/2 to 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
Saute onion in butter in a Dutch oven. Add soups, milk, cheese, and
mushrooms with liquid. Cook on low heat until cheese melts and is
smooth. Keep an eye on the cheese mixture as it will stick! Meanwhile,
cook 16 oz spaghetti in leftover chicken broth until al dente. Drain
well. Add chicken pieces to cheese mixture and gently fold in cooked
spaghetti. Serves 6 to 8.
**My husband likes to add 1 can drained Rotel tomatoes with green
chilies. Also, I will sometimes use Mexican Velveeta cheese if I want a
"spicy" dish. But not the Rotel and Mexican cheese together or the dish
is too hot/spicy for most tastes.

Recipe from Giada De Laurentiis.
2 lb. asparagus, trimmed
3/4 lb. spaghetti
4 TB olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and ground black pepper
6 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into strips
6 oz. smoked mozzarella cheese, diced (about 1 cup)

pasta, reserving 1 cup of
the cooking liquid.
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and
saute until fragrant,
about 20 seconds. Add asparagus to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper,
to taste. Add the pasta,
and if needed, some of the reserved cooking liquid. Toss to coat. Add the
prosciutto, mozzarella,
and basil, and toss to combine. Turn off the heat. Season with salt and
pepper, to taste, and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH MONKFISH MARINARA SERVES 4 This recipe is easy, healthy, and a great way to enjoy monkfish. Although I use dried herbs to cook the sauce, I add some chopped fresh parsley and basil, when I have it on hand, for the last 5 minutes of cooking. INGREDIENTS - 1-1/2 pounds monkfish fillets, cut into large chunks (see note below)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 3 cans (14.5-ounces each) whole tomatoes, crushed with fingers, with juices
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley leaves
- 1-1/2 tablespoons dried basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons dried marjoram leaves
- 1 pound spaghetti or similar pasta
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional garnish)
Season the monkfish with salt and pepper. Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the fish, and sauté until lightly browned and almost done, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the peppers and garlic to the pan and sauté about one minute. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any bits in the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook until tomatoes are broken down, about 20 minutes. Add the fish and cook until warm, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions for al dente. Drain and add to the sauce. Toss with the sauce for one minute. Serve immediately, passing cheese separately. Note: Monkfish usually has a thin membrane on the outside. It must be removed, but it comes off very easily. | |
