I found this yummy recipe at a busy cooks website, and wanted to share it. It is like a goulash, but with the added cream cheese & milk, it was so creamy. Even my non-spaghetti eating, picky child loved this dish! We didn't have any parmesean grated cheese so i substituted 4 cheese mexican blend instead, and it was still great. I also like to make things as easy as possible, so I buy frozen chopped green peppers and onions, and just added them to the sauce rather than the green peppers to the macaroni mix.
The only thing you need to cook in these recipes is the actual pasta itself! At this time of the year, we're all about recipes that require the most minimal amount cooking possible. Luckily, it's still possible to get a great meal on the table without having to cook much at all! In these recipes, the only thing you have to do is boil the pasta - which is always a worthy endeavor, no matter how hot it is - and then toss it with some no-cook pasta sauces that you can make in the time it takes for the pasta to finish. Throw on some extra goodies like cherry tomatoes, greens or a sprinkle of cheese, and bam - dinner is ready without breaking a sweat. No-Cook Pasta Sauces For Summer Giada's Creamy Pasta Salad This pasta salad is perfect for summer: you can make it ahead of time, serve it cold, and it goes so well with virtually any protein. The creamy quality reminds us of an old-school macaroni salad, but with fresh herbs and Italian flavors that take it to the next level. Sicilian Pesto This recipe has become a fast favorite among readers and our team alike - and with good reason! The fresh flavors of this cherry tomato pesto go so well on tons of different applications, from protein to veggies and of course - pasta. We love to toss it with some freshly torn mozzarella and basil. Orecchiette Pasta With Almond Pesto Pesto is one of our go-to sauces in the summer with just about everything! For this pasta, you can blend up the easy almond pesto and chop up a few cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella while the noodles boil. It's just as delicious served fresh and warm as it is cold on day 2! Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Olives We try to keep jars of green olives and sun-dried tomatoes on hand at all times for the purpose of making this pasta alone! Throw them in the food processor with garlic, basil, lemon and olive oil until it has that coarse, rustic-pesto type of consistency. It has a beautifully bright flavor and it's the perfect food for summer. Tip: it's delicious on crostini, too! Romesco Pasta Salad Think of Romesco as a more Spanish version of pesto - it's a bit smokier thanks to roasted bell peppers and paprika, but still has a really bright, sweet flavor as well. We love it in the form of a pasta salad with greens, cherry tomatoes and burrata - but you can put this delicious spread on anything from sandwiches to a great dip for raw veggies! Spaghettini With Checca Sauce Checca is one of the quintessential pasta sauces for summer - and there's all kinds of things you can do with it, too! This light and bright sauce is traditionally served with angel hair pasta or spaghettini, and sometimes Giada likes to throw in toasted pine nuts for an extra textural element.
The Sfincione recipe is one of the most popular and traditional Sicilian pizzas.

Here the traditional recipe!

**Attention Pizza Fans**: My pizza cookbook, Pizza Night, is now available for pre-order. Get your copy here: Pizza Night. The base of this recipe is this overnight, refrigerator focaccia dough. If would like to make a sourdough version, follow the recipe for this simple sourdough focaccia bread recipe through step 5; then proceed with the recipe. Notes: As always, for best results, use a digital scale to measure the flour and water. As with the focaccia recipe, a long ferment is best. I often let the dough sit in the fridge for 2 days before proceeding. You'll need a 12" x 18" sheet pan for this recipe. I highly recommend investing in something like this Winco Sicilian Pizza Pan (also available on Amazon), which conducts heat better than a traditional sheet pan and will therefore brown the bottom more evenly. Lloyd makes a Sicilian-style pizza pan, but it's a little smaller than the Winco one mentioned above. If you would like to use the Lloyd pan, I recommend scaling the dough recipe slightly. See measurements below the recipe box. If you have a Lloyd Detroit-style pan and would prefer to use that here, see the notes below the recipe for scaling the dough recipe to fit that size pan. I love SAF instant yeast. I buy it in bulk, transfer it to a quart storage container, and store it in my fridge for months. You can store it in the freezer also. If you are using active-dry yeast, simply sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water and let it stand for 15 minutes or until it gets foamy; then proceed with the recipe. Flour: You can use all-purpose or bread flour here with great results. If you live in a humid environment, I would suggest using bread flour. If you are in Canada or the UK, also consider using bread flour or consider holding back some of the water. Reference the video for how the texture of the bread should look; then add water back as needed. Cheese: I know the idea of using grated cheese for some of you may be off-putting, but there are a few brands I like, and it saves some time using them: Trader Joe's sells a Quattro Formaggi blend that's great, and Tillamook sells a large-grate mozzarella that I also really love.
