Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Absolutely scrumptious. This has become a family favourite. I had a bottle of rose sauce, so I used that instead of spaghetti sauce. The second time I made it, I used the spaghetti sauce. Everyone agreed that the rose sauce gave the dish a much better flavour.

I will definitely be making this again! It was so delicious and simple and quick to make. The hubby even liked it and he isn't a fan of shrimp that isn't breaded and deep fried! Plus it tastes just as good the next day.

This was fantastic! We substituted the alfredo sauce with Tomato and Basil flavored Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cooking Creme and had splendid results! It was so full of flavor and tasty! Even my daughters loved it! This will be making another appearance on my supper table soon!

The only thing I changed was I used Tomato and Basil flavored Philadelphia Cream Cheese cooking sauce. My 10 and 11 year old granddaughters raved about this dish. Very simple and served with a salad and toasted garlic toast made for a quick midweek meal. Highly recommended recipe.

This is so good & easy! My 3 kids, ages 5, 7 & 11 all said that this was a "keeper". My husband, who doesn't like to eat pasta noodles, thinks it should be a soup!

This recipe is really tasty. The red pepper flakes add just the right amount of flavor without being too spicy. I made a half recipe and it fed 2 with plenty of leftovers. The ingredients are things I usually keep in my pantry so it was nice to be able to use up leftover sauces from other meals. This is a must make!
