Baked Gluten Free Pasta

So sorry I have been a little MIA lately, I know that last week I only posted once and the week before you only saw Miss J’s birthday. I am so sorry about that. However, for all of us it’s the most wonderful time of the year and that means lots of partys and events to attend and that means im not cooking a lot either. So because of that my Cooking Underwriter has been forgotten a little. So this week I’m going to try to make it up to you with a couple recipes.

Today's recipe  will be a continuation of last weeks Italian Pot Roast.  With what I call a first over. What that is , is a recipe that is made with leftovers.

So this is my new first over recipe.

1 Tablespoon Butter
3 to 4 cups cooked leftover gluten free pasta
Leftover sauce from Italian Pot Roast2 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Take a 9 X 13 Pan and coat with butter

Take Pasta and Toss in Sauce to coat evenly then poor into
 9 x 13 Pan

Next place cheese on top

Cover with foil and bake in oven for 45 min

Serve Warm

Thanksgiving Pizza

On Sunday, I was driving home from a fabulous trip with my family, I was craving turkey and we had no leftovers.  So as soon as I got home, I went to the market and got a turkey and all of the trimmings. Did you know most markets, including mine,  put the Fresh Turkeys on sale a couple days after Thanksgiving. I bought a Butterball Fresh Turkey originally priced at $29.80 for $5.87. That is correct, Five Dollars and eighty-seven cents! Can you believe that? I was pleasantly surprised. 

So on Sunday night we sat down and had Gluten Free Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Turkey, Beet Berry Relish and some fresh carrots. On Monday I was ready for my leftovers and my vision would be complete. However my husband wanted turkey by itself So Tuesday night  I made Thanksgiving Pizza for dinner.  It was like having a Thanksgiving feast all over again but even better. Here is the recipe:


Pizza Dough 
1/4 cup Beet Beery Relish
½ cup mashed potatoes
½ cup Stuffing or dressing
1/4 cup shredded Turkey
½ cup mozzarella Cheese


Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Make your Pizza dough either Gluten free or regular pizza Dough.

Next spread your cranberry relish on top of dough.

Then thinly sprinkle your left over mashed potatoes on top of relish.

Next add the stuffing on top of the potatoes.

Then Shred some turkey and place on top

Last sprinkle shredded cheese on top of turkey pizza pie
Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden

Enjoy and Bon Appetit
