oh i haven't had grilled steak in ages!!! that sounds yummy!!! what do you marinate yours with??Originally Posted by calico2222
Oh lord! I am SO glad I saw this thread! I was supposed to get the steaks out of the freezer to thaw for tonight. Oops. Still have 2-3 hours before dinner so they should be thawed, right? Anyway, steaks on the grill, potatoes and salad. DH would eat that every night of the week for the rest of his life if he could. Can't really complain since he is the one grilling, but I'm getting tired of steak.
absolutely!!!Originally Posted by calico2222

it's a casserole type italian dish. (very yummy!!!)Originally Posted by mooficat
OK person across the water that doesn't know what this is
oo well I certainly like Italian food - thanks for the linkOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
it's a casserole type italian dish. (very yummy!!!)
it has meat, spaghetti sauce (i'm using a 4 cheese type), herbs, fresh monzerella, shredded monzerella, parmesean, provolone, and pasta (it's supposed to be ziti- but the store was out last night so i bought penne instead - it's VERY similar.) - you cook the pasta first, and the meat (seperately). Then you mix everything together and put it in a casserole dish and bake it in the oven
this link has a picture of what it looks like - my recipe is a bit different. give it a try some time- it's wonderful!! if you want my recipe let me know!

the only difference i believe is the size and length bit it is such a small difference you'd never be able to tell it. so penne should work just fineOriginally Posted by mooficat
I think I'd have to get penne pasta too - don't think we have ziti here - it looks much the same on the photo - so whats the difference - is it a longer pasta ?
