So Deb is married to a Sicilian! The first tip: when heating up left over pasta dishes, the microwave is NO GOOD! You should put a bit of olive oil in the frying pan and fry it up! Just as tasty as the first go around!
The one she cooked for me:
Peel two eggplant and then dice. Fry in olive oil (don't stir very often or it goes mushy, try to make it more crunchy by stirring only occasionally). Then set this aside.
garlic and onion diced and saute in olive oil, then add 5 diced tomatoes.
mozerella cheese, diced and continue heating till they start to melt.
Mix all ingredients with cooked penne pasta. Serve topped with parmesean cheese.
Second Pasta Dish
Brown lardon (or bacon pieces). Saute onion and garlic. Then add sliced mushrooms. Add tomatoes for a red dish, OR a small cream for a white pasta dish. Add to cooked pasta with parmeasean
Third Pasta Dish
Dice chicken breast and brown with onion, garlic and mushroom.(she says to try the funky mushrooms if you can find them) Throw in fresh baby spinach and a little cream. Add to cooked pasta with parmeasean
Fourth Pasta Dish
Brown mild Italion sausage, sliced thin. Add red pepper and garlic and onions, all sauteed. Add to cooked pasta with parmeasean.
Obiously she cooks like I do. No measurements. Just eyeballs it and puts it all together.
Lastly she gave me these two websites:
Tvlinks.co.uk and radioblogclub.org for watching old tv shows and movies, etc.
So that's what she shared with me and I thought I would pass it on if you are interested.

Wow, I'm definitely going to try it. Although I'm not too good without measurements, so I'm a little nervous. Heck, I'm not even too good with measurements! Last night I messed up sugar cookies with my Beehives. Oh bother.
I love eggplant. I am going to try that one this week. Thanks for the recipe tips. I never tire of good answers to the, "whats for dinner?" question.
Oooo. Can we make this on Sunday night when you come? I'm so excited to see you (and so are my roommates and the Wadsworths and my friends and my ward members and my Bishopric and... well, you get the picture, right?).
