Macaroni? Plain macaroni? Not even a cavatappi?

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with a few of the bazillion different varieties of pasta, coming to you direct from the National Pasta Association.

and with lean turkey and fresh tomatoes - - its not THAT bad for you. fat free feta, fresh asiago, and lowfat cheddar. It's just comfortable cold night food!

how'd the crock pot chili work out? and the pepperplan?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

actually - its not too bad :) if you cut back on the cheese you'd do just fine.

my "preferred pasta" is bowtie - my favorite - but macaroni was there in abundance :) thanks for the NPA link. I'd have never known. LOL!

I second the thanks for the link. It brought back lots of childhood memories of all of the varieties of pasta my grandmother made. I wish they all came as gluten free.

Many, many years ago, a pasta company sold their type of rotelle as "wagonwheels". I pestered my mother for weeks to buy those things.

I like to serve them covered in chili.

I'm not sure what your local Whole Foods Market might have.

One thought would be to pick up a pasta maker and try your hand at it. I located a recipe for gluten-free pasta.

Pasta machines are easy to find. There are two kinds. One variety - a press - makes ribbon pastas. The other type - an extruder - makes pasta tubes.

I hope this helps.

Pulllease - I'm Italian, doesn't everyone have a pasta machine??? Actually, I almost got rid of it in the move because of the gluten issue, but now - Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to have to try it.

I kept wondering what urlebean turkey was until I remembered that sometimes I can't read.

Maybe I was too close to the screen to read, but I need to be to lick the pic.

Err... Don't ask. I had attempted to pre-brown the meat but my electric stove isn't hot enough and mainly ended up pre-cooking it instead. After sitting in the crock pot all day, the meat was terribly overcooked and dried out. Live and learn.

But adding steamed green peppers a la your suggestion helped!
