If you have ever looked at the meal plans I have been doing for the last year you would notice one thing…the lack of pasta. For about a year now my husband and I have cut out all pasta and rice. It makes me very sad and I do miss it every day but we were eating WAY too much of it. I think the thing I miss most isn’t just pasta but some of my FAVORITE recipes that I made ALL THE TIME.

Instead of them just collecting “dust” in my recipe app I thought I’d share my TOP 5 with you. Starting with the one I probably miss the MOST.

Zesty Penne Pasta

The creaminess of this recipe is what makes it so good!! You can find the recipe HERE.

Chili Pasta Skillet

Another favorite around here! No need to pre-boil the pasta! This is a one-pot wonder! You can find the recipe HERE.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

I grew up with Beef Stroganoff being a staple in our house. My mom makes it from scratch and while I have tried and failed many times to make her recipe I found this one taste almost identical and is so easy and good!! You can find the recipe HERE.

Pizzagna

Just talking about this one makes my mouth water. The awesome thing about this one is you can put whatever you want in it. It’s like a supreme pizza with pasta! We like to throw sausage into the sauce every once in awhile. You can find the recipe HERE.

Chicken Fajita Pasta Skillet

This is SOOOO GOOD! The key here is to really get a char on your veggies! I find it works best in my cast iron skillet with no oil. Just get it really hot! Find the recipe HERE.

So please, I’m begging you. Try one of these recipes, let me know what you think and think of me. ; )
