My parents made this often when I was a child and it is still one of my favourite meals as an adult. Quick, tasty and cheap! We usually have this as a main dish with a salad and rolls. Measurements are approximate as I don't follow a recipe and it can be adjusted for personal preference. Can use whole, crushed or diced tomatoes Ingredients:
2 -3 cups uncooked macaroni |
1 (19 ounce) can tomatoes |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to direcions.
2. Drain and return to pot.
3. Add tomatoes including juices and heat on low/medium until hot.
4. If using diced or whole tomatoes, crush.
5. Be careful macaroni doesn't stick to bottom of pot - stir frequently!
6. I have added butter and/or cheese whiz for additional flavour.
7. Depending on amount of macaroni cooked, I have used 28 oz can of tomatoes.
8. I have also used italian style tomatoes and chili tomatoes which give it a slightly different flavour, but plain tomatoes are best for our family preference. I have tried canned tomatoes with olive oil and spices (to be used for brushetta) and they are too oily and doesn't result have good results.
