Chef Nestor here again with another panty-dropping, tasty fucking recipe you and yours can enjoy. I call this a lasagna.

  • 2 cups uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions:

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2.5 quart baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender, and drain.
  3. Cook and stir the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat, pour the cooked pasta and spaghetti sauce into the skillet, and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Pour half of the hot pasta-sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread with the cottage cheese in an even layer, and sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining pasta mixture over the cheese, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  5. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until the casserole is hot and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Let it stand 5 minutes to firm up before serving.

My alterations: I make 2 1/2 cups of pasta, I take the foil off the lasagna about ten minutes before taking it out of the oven so the cheese melts more evenly, and I of course make my own spaghetti sauce.

I love cooking and so do you. Why? Two words: Chick Magnet. Women love a guy that con cook and cook well. You cook a delicious dish and drop it in front of them, and they’ll do you a favor and drop panties in front of you. I guarantee it.

Here’s one of my favorite sauce recipes, guaranteed to drop panties when you cook it.

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup cream (or half and half or milk)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded Italian cheeses (Mozzarella, Romano, etc.)
1/2 cup Parmesano Reggiano cheese (or plain Parmesan)
3 tablespoons fresh or 1-2 tablespoons dried parsley
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
1/4 cup sherry or white wine
salt and pepper

Melt butter and add flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to cook flour. Add cream and broth all at once and blend well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.

Pour over chicken, shrimp or pasta.

For an Alfredo bake, pour the sace on the fettucini pasta and mix well. add in your carrots and cooked, diced chicken breast and mix well. Add additional mozerrella cheese as a topping, loosely mixed with garlic-seasoned bread crumbs. Bake in oven at 350 degrees F until cheese is golden brown.

If I’m so inclined, I’ll add more recipes.
