German Pancake

This recipe makes for a great sunday morning breakfast because of how easy it is.  The proportions I will give make a pancake that feeds two, but can easily be multiplied to feed more than two.  If you are going multiply this recipe by more than two, I would suggest cooking it in two dishes.  If you try to much one of two things will happen. 1) It will overflow or 2)  It will not cook enough in the middle.

What you need:
1/2 C Flour
1/2 C Milk
3 Eggs
vanilla extract
nutmeg
cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp Butter

What to do:

1) Turn your oven on to 375 degrees.  Put 1 tbsp butter into an oven safe dish and put in oven to melt while oven preheats.
2) In one bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix them up.
3) combine eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Mix them and add to the dry ingredients.  Wisk together until nearly all the flour chunks are gone.
4) By this time the butter should be melted.  spread the butter over the walls of the baking dish.  pour your mixture into the dish.
5) Bake for about 20-25 or until the edges are a nice golden brown.
Cut and serve.
 (as the food cools, it will fall back into the dish)
We really like it with just cream cheese and maple syrup.  You can top it with whatever you like. Fresh fruit is especially good.

Cheesy Baked Rigatoni

2 1/2 cups uncooked rigatoni pasta
1/2 lb uncooked mild Italian pork sausage
3 cloves garlic
1 can crushed tomatoes, undrained
3 teaspoons dried basil
1 Cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese


What to do:
1) Cook the pasta a little under what the cooking time on the box directs.  It will continue to cook in the oven, and if you cook it just how you like it in the boiling water, it will be overcooked.
2) In a skillet, cook the sausage till it is no longer pink, drain any fat and set aside.
3) While the pasta and sausage are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes (with their liquid), basil, and the garlic that you have previously peeled and chopped (or crushed).
4) Spray a 9x13 glass cooking dish with non-stick spray.  In the dish layer half each of the pasta, sausage, mushroom (if you like to eat fungus), red pepper if you like them, Parmesan cheese, tomato mixture and mozzarella cheese.  Repeat layers. 
5)  Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the mixture is hot and the cheese is golden brown.
