"A thread in EE on everyone's best "easy" meals made me realize that I don't have enough meals like that for nights when I'm tired! I tend to make some pasta noodles and dump jarred sauce on top. Here's one I might try instead, from http://www.quickneasyrecipes.com/!"

Ingredients: ziti pasta, pepper...

"This was dinner the night I went into labor with my first son; every year since we've had this for his birthday celebration! Served with spinach salad, it makes a well-rounded meal!"

Ingredients: cream, eggs, ham...

"After dinner with Mom at Fazoli's, I altered a recipe from Taste of Home's "Country Chicken" cookbook, and this is the amazingly excellent result. Great for dinner parties and delicious for a week-night supper with the family all around the table!"

Ingredients: pepper, boneless chicken breast halves...

"I love this recipe for busy nights, or at the end of a stressful day when we want easy comfort food. This is easy, but not cheap-tasting and is healthy. I use whole-wheat penne for the pasta, so I usually use a bit more tomato juice since whole-wheat pasta tends to need more liquid."

Ingredients: diced tomatoes, olive oil...

"This is a really good comfort meal for busy nights. It takes 60 minutes to be done completely, but a lot of that time is passively spent just waiting around for it to be baked in the oven! (Suggestion: have a nice glass of red wine while you're waiting!)"

Ingredients: meatless sauce, fresh parsley...

"This is my version of one of the best things my mom ever made--Johnny Marzetti! A little lasagna, a little spaghetti, a little personalization and voila! A yummy meatless dish for supper."

Ingredients: tempeh, green peppers...

"Manicotti stuffed with meat, spinach and cheese, coated with tomato and white sauces. Delicious and a tricky way to get kids to eat spinach! This takes a little time but is a beautiful, special dish. Great with breadsticks!"

Ingredients: cottage cheese, eggs...

"This is an adaptation of a recipe found on a Campbell's soup label. I strongly recommend making just enough to satisfy the family in one meal. While leftovers still taste fine they lose texture. This does NOT freeze well."

Ingredients: pepper, mixed vegetables...

"Perfect for weeknights. The sauce is from italianfoodforever.com. Make the sauce while you're cooking the pasta - it's that fast."

Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, diced tomatoes...

"Seems kinda pointless to me, to go to all the trouble of making & stuffing the 'cotti's and then NOT have meat in the sauce. So I adjusted this found recipe from *Grandma's Kitchen* recipe cards, to include ground beef in the sauce. No complaints from the Peanut Gallery--and they're SO discerning an audience!"

Ingredients: dried basil, manicotti...

"I really love cooking and eating this recipe. It is sure to impress and satisfy."

Ingredients: pasta sauce, green peppers...
