It’s National Cheese Day! This day makes me think of the recipe I made to use up leftover holiday ham. It’s a delicious Cheesy Ham and Peas with Pasta! An easy cheese sauce can be made by adding 2 tablespoons of butter, with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in a skillet over medium heat. Stir the flour into the butter to make a thick paste, slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once it bubbles, turn the heat down and gradually add 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Add 2 cups of cubed ham or chicken and 1 cup of peas and stir. Make a ½ pound of your favorite pasta according to directions on the package. Add the pasta to the cheesy sauce and stir. It makes about 4-6 servings. Your family and friends will be dancing around the table after eating this super cheesy dish! Enjoy!

Happy National Spaghetti Day! As a newly married bride into an Italian family, I learned early to make a killer meat sauce for spaghetti. It was a favorite of my daughter’s for a quick meal without much fuss. I brown a pound of ground beef in a clove of fresh garlic or 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic from the jar in a frying pan. Remove the beef and discard any fat from the pan except 1 tablespoon. Fry a 6-ounce can of tomato paste in the fat in the frying pan for 1-2 minutes and return the ground beef to the pan with a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes. Add a tablespoon of oregano, parsley, and garlic powder. Add a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Stir and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Boil your spaghetti according to the directions on the package and top it with this fabulous meat sauce! Felice Buon Nuovo! Happy New Year!
