In my opinion, you can never have too many mac and cheese recipes. This Macaroni with Fontina and Gorgonzola Cheese is quicker than any other homemade Mac-n-cheese I’ve made. Just cook the noodles and stir everything together, all stove top.

It’s also a slightly more sophisticated version than the classic macaroni and cheese. Don’t worry though, the kids will still love it.

This Creamy Garlic Penne Pasta is a delicious, super quick side or main dish. Believe it or not it came from the back of a pasta box and it is yummy!

This recipe is garlicky and so creamy and sooooo easy to make. Perfect for when you get home from work, are incredibly tired and just want a filling meal.

This recipe works perfectly because it really doesn’t take much more than 15 minutes and tastes wonderful.

Try adding some frozen peas and sliced mushrooms, but the recipe is great as is. Some stir-fried sliced chicken sauteed in garlic would be a great addition too.
