I was just glancing through the cabinets while I was boiling some chicken for the chicken a la king tomorrow and thinking about the last few days of this month. What are your favorite recipes with bowtie pasta? I can't wait to hear from everyone.

I hadn't thought about a dish I used to make with sausage and cabbage and I also added bow tie pasta. I liked the bow tie since it was a thin pasta. I used spaghetti in the recipe a couple of times but liked the bow tie better. I think I will have to make this again....now I'm hungry for it.

1 pound smoked sausage (I usually use kielbasa but any smoked sausage will do)
3/4 pound cooked bow tie pasta
Small head of cabbage or more if you like cabbage (I do!)
Chopped chives (maybe 2 Tablespoons - can use dried instead)
Salt & Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
Touch of garlic powder

Slice the sausage in rounds and brown a little bit. Remove it from pan and keep warm. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the same pan and add cabbage and cook until it's tender. Add the sausage and cooked bow tie pasta to the cabbage and stir. Reduce heat to low and add the rest of the spices and stir until combined. Cook only a couple of minutes on low heat.

grill chicken and sundried tomato with bowtie pasta has to be one of my faves. Top it with a creamy alfredo sauce and I am good to go.

I saute broccoli rabe or fresh spinach and mix it together with garlic and olive oil, or I add peas, butter and grated cheese, I have made pasta salads too.

I add butter, salt, fresh ground pepper and fresh grated parmensan cheese to my pasta--my favorite dish

I like it with a butter/garlic sauce and shrimp, but the rural chick's recipe (above) is the one I am going to try next.

Kasha Varniska. Bow tie pasta and Kasha a what grain product. Yummy. Eastern European Jewish dish.

I was going to suggest Kasha Varnishkas, but then I thought... ehhh, who keeps buckwheat groats around the house any more?

Anyway, this is authentic Jewish Soul food, inexpensive to make and quite filling.

If you use a vegetable stock instead of the traditional chicken broth, and leave out the egg (mostly helps keep groats from sticking together) this can be a veg'an dish.

A Mediterranean restaurant close by serves a tequila chicken dish tossed with bow ties, roasted corn, grilled red peppers, and such. My favorite when I eat there.
