Brett & Bart's favorite spaghetti

Brett & Bart's favorite spaghetti by jeanne templeman

This is an old Italian recipe that I've been cooking for 30 years, and my boys and husband all love it. I got this from my good friend and extraordinary cook Jeannie Puente. The trick for the old Italian flavor is that you cook it for 2 days in a crockpot. I don't leave it on at night for safety. Delicious!

Gnudi

Gnudi by The Accidental Chef

These are also referred to as "Naked Ravioli". They are like a Gnocchi made from ricotta cheese and a very small amount of flour. My recipe is for savory spinach & garlic but use your imagination, you can change it up. Perhaps butternut squash & nutmeg? (I forgot to take a picture. The one here is from the web)

Cheesy Vegetable Lasagna

Cheesy Vegetable Lasagna by Beth Roan

This is the best meal I have found to hide vegetables. You can use any raw vegetable you want. I prefer zucchini but you could use squash, broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers.....So far my girls believe me when they ask "what is this green stuff???" I tell them it's just spices.
