You have to LOVE garlic for this one...I am going off memory here...just made it last night too actually :)
Garlic Bow Tie Pasta
Box of Tie Pasta, cooked. 4 bulbs of garlic, peeled and minced oil 2 whole tomatoes, chopped basil (to liking) salt (to liking) 6-8 TBL tomato sauce
1. Coat bottom of skillet/pan with oil, enough for the entire bottom surface.
2. Put in the minced garlic, medium heat, for about 3 minutes. DO NOT BROWN.
3. Add tomatoes, basil, and salt, let simmer until it STARTS to turn brown.
4. Add 6-8 TBL tomato sauce and let simmer for about 10 minutes or so.
Once finished, put on top of pasta and enjoy...you don't need much sauce. I suggest putting a helping of pasta on your plate and using the sauce to your liking...don't mix it in with the full batch of pasta then serve...if that makes sense?
Crockpot Italian Chicken: 4 chicken breasts, 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning, 1 8 oz. cream cheese (softened), 2 cans cream of chicken soup; Cook on low for 4 hours. If sauce is too thick, add a little milk. Cook any past you would like, I like rigatoni with this. Stir in pasta, don't add too much too fast, you want enough sauce.
And dinner is served.
My husband will eat the whole pot if I let him, but I'm too busy fighting for my portion!

You have to be patient & be willing to ruin things(cause it can happen) be creative. Food network has great recipes& they go from easy to difficult.
