Bow Tie Pasta

I’ve never met a pasta that I didn’t love.  And bow tie pasta is at the top of my list of pastas that I do love.  It was one of the two things I knew how to make when I moved into my college apartment (that and baked potatoes!).  It’s been made several different ways over the twenty plus years that I’ve been cooking but one dish recipes like this one are the best!

How to Cook Pasta 

Over the years I’ve heard all kinds of tricks for preparing pasta.  Each pasta has a different time to cook and way to prepare – follow directions on the box. 
Here are the basics for how to cook pasta: 

  1. Use a big pot. 
    Don’t want to crowd the noodles. 
  2. Use lots of water. 
    In order to cook pasta correctly it needs plenty of water. 
  3. Add salt. 
    Salt brings out the flavor in the noodles and dish. 
  4. Bring to a full boil. 
    Make sure it’s a full, rolling boil or you might end up with unevenly cooked pasta. 
  5. Stir throughout. 
    Don’t let your pasta stick together, stir while cooking.

What is lasagna?

This recipe came from a church cookbook from my sister and was titled “Bow Tie Pasta Lasagna.”  Even though it’s not a true “lasagna” because it doesn’t use that type of pasta.  It’s a loose translation of the term because it’s cheesy and sort of stacked. 

Lasagna usually refers to a dish with stacked layers of pasta, alternating with sauces and meats or vegetables and topped with cheese.

    I have made this twice now. The first time it came out way too salty and the second was perfect. Don’t add ANY extra salt to the cottage cheese mixture. It’s naturally salty enough from the parm and cottage.

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
