WHITE BAKED ZITI
This is a creamy and indulgent white baked ziti with a classic bechamel base but with the addition of nutty Parmesan. Cubed mozzarella is folded into the pasta before baking to reveal surprise reservoirs of melty cheese throughout. A bit of red pepper flakes adds the right touch of heat to balance everything out.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and add the pasta back to the pot.
- Put the milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until just warm, about 2 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Continue to whisk until the mixture bubbles a bit but does not brown, about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking often and occasionally running a rubber spatula around the edges of the saucepan to prevent burning. When the sauce is boiling, reduce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened to a nice coating consistency, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan, the red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the bechamel sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Fold in the cubed mozzarella. Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

BAKED ZITI ALFREDO WITH CAJUN CHICKEN
To me this is the ultimate comfort food. The spiciness of the chicken is complemented by the smooth creaminess of the Alfredo sauce. Delicious with a nice glass of white wine.

FETTUCCINE VEGETABLE ALFREDO
Creamy pasta dish by Southern Living that can be an entree (4 servings) or a side dish (6 servings). The original recipe calls for 8 oz fresh mushrooms and 1 cup of carrots; however, I don't like mushrooms, so I just use 1 1/2 cups of carrots. Make sure to slice the carrots quite thin.

Add the carrots and zucchini to the skillet and sauté for one to two minutes more. Season the skillet lightly with salt and pepper. Set the sautéed vegetables aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions (boil for 7-10 minutes, or until al dente). Drain the pasta in a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Add the butter and flour to a medium sauce pot. Melt the butter over medium heat and use a whisk to incorporate the flour as the butter melts.
