Pasta e patate
When I was a kid there was nothing I loved more then having this for dinner. The aroma it provides sparks hunger in anyone. I call this a "great depression dish," because its super cheap to make and satisfying. This was also a staple in my Grandmother's house during the great depression for those reasons.
Ingredients
1 lb of Mezzo Ditale
1 can Hunt's Tomato sauce
6-8 potatoes, peeled and cubed.
1 cube of garlic, minced
1 package american cheese
Salt
Pepper
Directions
Peel and cube your potatoes.
Boil potatoes with minced garlic until soft, drain and bring them back to the pan to mash. While mashing potatoes add your can of Hunt's tomato sauce. Mash the sauce into the potatoes. This mixture will become very thick which is why it is key to keep a pan of boiling water on the side. While mashing potatoes, add boiling water until you reach your desired thickness.
Now, simply boil your ditale, drain, and mix sauce with the ditale. Add salt and pepper as desired.
