Making dinner tonight ..

[x_maddy]

Tonight I told my mom I`d make dinner. We have steak marinating since yesterday and I wanted to make pasta as the startch and then I`ll need a veggie to go with it. So what I`m asking for is pasta sauce recipes .. something yummy, and an idea for a vegetable I`m thinking of doing either just a yummy salad or zuccini .. so if anyone has suggestions I`d love to hear them. I want to make a really good dinner tonight. =]

what kind of pasta?

You could put the pasta and veggie together.

I do sometimes a linguine mix.

8oz linguine cooked
1 cup of steamed broccoli
1tbs butter
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. pepper

After linguine and broccoli are soft, mix everything together and heat untill you have a creamy mixture. Serve!

That sounds good !! Is it like alfredo with broccoli over linguine ?

My other idea is to make pizza instead of pasta. I could put spices and maybe sun-dried tomatoes and such on it but then I`d still like a separate veggie.

If youre having steak, then you could do baked potatoes (double as the startch and the veggie) and then add another veggie on the side? Maybe some corn, or carrots. And salad goes well with everything!

I like the idea of Baked potato with sour cream and chives on top.

Veggie on the side....how about glazed baby carrots?

1 lb baby carrots
1tbls butter or marg.
1tbls brown sugar
1/8tsp ground cinnamon
1/8tsp salt

Bring water to rolling boil, and then add carrots; boil for 8-10 minutes or until carrots are fork tender.
Drain carrots in colander; return carrots to pot. While still hot, add all other ingredients and stir to coat carrots evenly.

It is kinda like that. My favorite is to double all those things and add a pound of cubed chicken and also 1/2 cup of sour cream. Makes a whole meal that way. TONS of food. Easy and SO yummy.

2 more veggie ideas...they are both home made, so I don't have exact measurements!

Idea #1:
steam fresh green beans
In a bowl, combine:
roughly 1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
Add steamed green beans

Idea #2:
in a skillet, put a tablespoon or two into the pan
Add 1 clove chopped garlic
Add 1 chopped zuchinni
Cook until zuchinni starts to get tender
Then add about 1/2 of a bag of frozen peas (as many as you'd like..a whole small bag would be fine)
Cook until peas are done and add salt and pepper to taste.
