Definitely pasta with an oriental flair. Bean sprouts, sesame oil and soy sauce are tossed into freshly cooked fettucine pasta, with a sprinkling of garlic, white pepper and cayenne. And a splash of sesame seeds when you bring it to the table.
A sweet, savory saute of bell pepper, green onion and bean sprouts is tossed with strips of cooked chicken and angel hair pasta, and coated with an exotic blend of peanut butter, soy sauce, chicken broth and fresh ginger.
This was one of my favorite dishes growing up and now it is my children's. Ground beef, cheese and tomato sauce are baked into a simply delicious casserole.
This chicken and rice casserole would be yummy enough with just the salsa, Cheddar and sour cream. The bounty of sauteed mushrooms is an oh-so-good bonus.
This popular Southeast Asian street fare is known as mee goreng (fried noodles). Look for the sweet bean sauce and noodles (which are sometimes frozen) at Asian markets; substitute dried linguine for lo mein. You can always use less chile paste to make a milder version.
Back in the 1950's, when my husband was diagnosed as diabetic, we had five children at home to feed. I made this casserole often...and it satisfied us all. We all agree it's still as delicious today as it was then.
'When I'm pressed for time, I find this take-along casserole is easy to fix,' writes Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio. 'The crouton-topped combination is not only attractive but tasty, too.'
Bell peppers, green onions, and your favorite salsa combine with beef and egg noodles for a stove-top casserole. Garnish with shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes.
