Strange but good, cheap, easy and low fat, low calorie recipe. It always surprises people, but they always like it. I wrote this down years ago, from a magazine, I think. Ingredients:
3 cups low-fat milk |
1/4 lb angel hair pasta, broken in small pieces |
10 ounces frozen broccoli, thawed |
2 cups tomato sauce |
2 cloves garlic, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Scald milk but don't boil.
2. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with Pam, divide broken angel hair pasta between the 12 muffin cups, add a 1/4 cup hot milk to each cup.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in preheated 400° oven.
4. Take out of oven, let stand for 15 minutes.
5. Remove pasta cakes from cups and fry 1 minute each side in pan coated with Pam.
6. Meanwhile, combine tomato sauce, herbs and spices and thawed broccoli, and heat to make a sauce.
7. You could also use bottled sauce with no problem.
8. Serve 3 pasta cakes with the sauce and broccoli.
