BAKED PASTAS - Winter 2025 (Jan-Mar) Dish of the Quarter

A tangent, but what containers do you use to give meals away?

A simple summertime baked pasta inspired by the current COTM. Roasted ratatouille ingredients mixed with fusilli and a puck of Boursin under a generous sprinkling of grated parmesan.

Leftover takeaway containers.

If you are looking for “transport” containers, I found these Styrofoam containers at Dollar Tree. 10 for $1.25 - If the food is hot, a little foil adds an extra layer of insulation. They actually work GREAT!!

Baked Mac & Ham & Cheese. It’s my memorized comfort food meal. Original recipe from the Mueller’s elbow noodle box from the 1970s (as I believe they’ve changed the recipe). Ham is either a thick slice from the deli chopped up, OR as I did last night, purchased cubed ham (half of a previously frozen package). This time, made with grated Tillamook cheddar, Cabot’s Seriously Sharp cheddar, some Havarti and some Monterey Jack, and I REALLY like the creaminess of the Havarti and Jack cheeses. Extra dry mustard added to oomph it up. (Realized I had posted this upthread in Jan '24, but figured I’d add it again with the different cheeses.)

I guess my PIC’s youvetsi qualifies for this thread: kritharaki (aka orzo), lamb shanks, tomatoes, kefalotyri.
