    Helpful Hints

    1. Boxed macaroni is made to be prepared faster than regular pasta, so be sure not to overcook it.

    2. Once water is boiling, it generally takes 4-1/2 minutes at sea level or 5 minutes if you are in the high country to make al dente (tender) macaroni.

    3. Always rinse the macaroni if the recipe calls for it, don’t if it doesn’t.

    4. When making soups, add the macaroni just prior to serving. If you are making the soup ahead of time, reheat the broth a few minutes before serving and then add the pasta.

    5. Low-fat ingredients, such as light soups, sour cream and cream cheese can be substituted.

    6. 1 garlic clove = 1 teaspoon minced garlic from the jar. It’s much quicker and more cost effective.

    7. 1/4 cup fresh minced onion = 2 tablespoons dried minced onions.

    8. 1/4 cup fresh herbs = 1 tablespoon dried herbs.

    9. Frozen vegetables, steamed, can be substitute for canned vegetables.

    10. If you are making the dish to be reheated, undercook the pasta.

    11. When reheating, add a tablespoon of water to the dish.

    12. Be creative! Most ingredients can be adjusted to your own liking.

    Soups

    Easy Italian Vegetable Soup

    Combine all canned vegetables and their liquids with the cheese packet and basil in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add macaroni and simmer 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and serve. Makes 2–3 servings.

    Tomato Soup

    Combine vegetable broth, parsley, garlic, thyme and sage in a large pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat; simmer over medium-low for 15 minutes. Add tomato juice and cheese packet. Bring to a boil again, then add macaroni and let simmer 5 minutes more; serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
