Now, here's a yummy sounding recipe

BAKED PASTA WITH FIRE-ROASTED TOMATOES
Makes: 5 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: about 35 minutes, plus pasta

2 1/2 cups ziti or other tube pasta (8 ounces)
1/2 pound 93 percent lean ground beef
1 large chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, sliced 1/4-inch thick

1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook and drain pasta as directed. Meanwhile, coat a 12-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic 6 minutes on medium until beef is no longer pink and the onions are softened. Stir in zucchini; cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling. Add drained pasta; toss to coat. Spread in baking dish. Cover tightly with nonstick foil; bake 20 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

For a quick meal, refrigerated CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES is about as good as it gets. Cook 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini as directed along with some sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Reserve 1/2 cup water and drain. Toss the tortellini with the reserved water, some spinach and 1 tablespoon butter. Serve with packaged GREEN SALAD and ITALIAN BREAD. Enjoy SLICED MANGOS for dessert.

I'm going to check my pantry to see how many of these ingredients I have on hand. The fire-roasted tomatoes would seem to be a key ingredient in this recipe, so I may have to try this tomorrow. Bummer.
