Chicken and Ziti Casserole

Chicken
Ziti Pasta (or any sort of “tunnel” pasta)
Spaghetti Sauce
Grated Cheese

Cook chicken and chop into small pieces. I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I boil the chicken and then chop it up.

Cook pasta and drain.

Mix chicken, pasta, spaghetti sauce and grated cheese. I don’t really measure. You just want to be sure to use enough sauce that it isn’t too dry.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees until heated through.

Top with cheese at the end and cook a few minutes more until the cheese is melted.

Homemade Mac & Cheese

8 ounces macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
2 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese

Boil macaroni noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles and set aside. Melt butter, then add 4 tablespoons flour, stir well and cook for a few minutes. Add milk, salt and dry mustard. Cook for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add most of the cheese and stir. Combine sauce and macaroni and place in greased casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
