Hello there, My name is Rolla and I am very glad you’ve stopped by to read my cooking blog. It looks like nowadays not many people have time and/or mood to cook food at home. And I think, even less of them are actually enjoying the process of making home food, they probably think: making food is hard or boring. So I really hope you will find recipes posted here useful, tasty and fun to prepare, and you will actually enjoy cooking them.

Baked Spaghetti Casserole Recipe





















1 (1 lb) box angel hair pasta
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper (optional)
1/2 cup mushroom (optional)
1 (26 ounce) jars tomato and basil pasta sauce
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup shredded cheese 

Preheat oven to 350 and PAM a 13x9 deep baking dish. In large skillet, brown ground beef. In large pot cook pasta to al dente'. When beef is cooked, drain and add spaghetti sauce and hot water (I always dump the water in the jar and shake it up to get the last bit of sauce out before adding to the pan). Add garlic and veggies and simmer about 10 minutes. When pasta is done, drain in a colander and rinse with hot water, let sit temporarily. In pasta pot, melt margarine. Stir in Parmesan cheese, then add pasta back into pan. Beat eggs with milk and toss with pasta mixture. Press pasta in pan evenly. Top with sauce mixture, spreading to the edges. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Top with cheese and bake additional 15 minutes until cheese starts to melt and brown. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes for easier cutting. Cut into squares.

1 14oz. can crushed pineapple

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup melted butter/margarine. Press the mixture into an 8x8" or 9x9" baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

Prepare your whipped cream of choice. If using a carton of whipping cream, beat the cream in a medium bowl until it is thick and stiff.
