I would like to see an instruction book for men on how to shop at a grocery store. Many times men will ask me a question like what chicken broth is better (tip: freeze left over broth in ice cube trays to use for cooking vegetables), what kind of vegetables to buy for a salad or what is the difference between tomato paste and tomato sauce. I feel sorry for these guys because you know they are hungry but only want to cook a simple, tasteful and nutritious meal.

Farfalle al salmone.
(pasta with salmon)
Just get a nice and fresh salmon fillet (about 150grm), some dill (like 2/3 of a tea spoon), salt, pepper, olive oil, onion salt (just a bit), some evaporated milk, a bit of powered cinnamon (it’s the secret touch, just a little bit of it mimics the smoked taste) And just pepare aside some farfalle pasta (the one that resembles a tuxedo tie, farfalle is italian for butterfly)

Then just chop in little cubes the fresh salmon (don’t use the smoked sliced one, it can become a disaster) use the pepper, dill and a bit of onion salt, the put it on a pan with the olive oil at medium temperature for about 4 minutes -fish doesn’t take a lot of time for cooking, besides it’s chopped- then set temperature to low, add the evaporated milk and a small amount of powered cinnamon, stir for 2 or 3 minutes, and only then at the salt, set aside.

The farfalle pasta is made just adding it to boiling water, if itÅ› a good pasta won’t take more than 4 or 5 minutes to be al dente, just follow the instructions on the package.

You may serve it with a little of grated gouda or tilsit cheese….and bon apetit

It's easy to make and easy to remember. SUPER-SIMPLE BAKED ZITI Ingredients: 1 lbs. ziti pasta 1/2 lbs. (8 ounces) of shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 lbs. (8 ounces) of shredded mild chedder cheese 1 jar of pasta sauce (try and avoid those with cheese in it) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pasta as instructed and drain. Place pasta in a mixing bowl and add the jar of sauce, all of the chedder and half of the mozzarella cheese. Combine, do not stir (difference being that if you stir you'll break up the noodles). Pour mixture into an appropriate sized backing dish or casserole dish. The mixture should be a couple inches thick after pouring into dish. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese to the top of the pasta. Bake for 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes and serve. Serves 4 to 6, depending on how healthy your appetite is. In my house it serves 3 to 4 people. Here’s a very simple recipe that impresses the guests and in-laws every time. It’s easy to make and easy to remember.
