WIENER AND PASTA POT
This is a recipe I was missing from home. Lennie very kindly came up with it for me. It comes from the Company's Coming Pasta book. I have included my own variations on it. The pasta actually cooks in the sauce. I love this stuff and so did my kids!

Steps:
- In a large dutch oven, combine everything; cover; cook slowly until shells are tender but firm. This should take 15 to 17 minutes.
- My own variation: I always browned my sliced weiners in the pot first before I added the remaining ingredients. I also added a bit of garlic powder, and topped it with cheese at the end.

CHEESE 'N' PASTA IN A POT
I love to make this dish whenever friends are visiting. Since I can make it ahead, it gives me more time to spend with my guests. Warm rolls and a simple salad make this a meal.-Carmelita Guinan, Wollaston, Massachusetts

- Season the meat well: Don't be afraid to season the meat generously. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful crust.

- Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to your pasta pot will help to create a more flavorful and nutritious dish. Choose vegetables that will hold their shape when cooked, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to your pasta pot. Choose a broth that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in your dish.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Avoid overcooking the pasta, as this will make it mushy.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a bright, flavorful touch to your pasta pot. Choose herbs that complement the other ingredients in your dish, such as parsley, basil, or thyme.
