I love Pasta.... Came up with a great dish, with an assist from Emeril...

Pasta Bake...

Whole Grain Elbow Pasta cooked in EVOO and water to just beyond Al Dante (Great Guy, I knew him from the old neighborhood)...

Put it in a big mixing bowl with a little more EVOO, Some chunks of low fat Mozzarella, a few strips of colorful Bell Peppers, salt and pepper to taste and mix it all up...

Pasta Sauce... Saute some onions, garlic and carrots in the EVOO... I get a jar of classic or basic Marinara and add some squeeze hot pepper paste, a little squeeze tomato paste and a can of diced tomato's with some fresh Basil and a little oregano, but that is up to the cook...

Once the sauce is done, Mix that in with the other stuff in the mixing bowl...

Preheat the oven to 375-400, depending on your oven...

Get a 2 quart casserole dish or baking pan, and you guessed it, grease it up with some EVOO...

Now whisk 3-4 eggs with some low fat milk and a little no fat Ricotta cheese...

Pour your Pasta concoction into the casserole dish, pour your egg mixture over top, add a layer of (turkey) pepperoni and then add some strips of low fat provolone and bake that sucker up for about 20-25 minutes...

Yum Yum...

1. You are always cooking up cool (or should I say hot, lol) things!

That sounds yummy...

And not too hard...

I dunno...do you like EVOO? Maybe you have stock in the company?

I just might try this one...

It's called "olive oil." :eyes:
