Old Favourites

I was rooting through my old recipe book and came across these two dishes. I forgot how easy they were - great over pasta. The first one is super quick and easy. The second is the best baked sauce you could put over noodles. Try one or both! Perhaps they'll make their way into your recipe collection too...

Tracey's Goat Cheese Chicken

4 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
1/2 roll of Goat Cheese

Layer bottom of greased casserole dish with chicken pieces. Pour sauce over chicken - enough to cover. Sprinkle goat cheese on top.

Cover casserole and bake in 350 oven for 1 hour or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve over linguini or pasta of choice.


Baked Tomato Sauce
This recipe originally calls for 1/2 cup olive oil, but I like it without. Add it back in if you wish...

2 large cans diced tomatoes; drained
4 cloves garlic; crushed
2 onions; finely chopped
4 tsp. chopped fresh basil
chili flakes
2/3 cup bread crumbs
2/3 cup parmesan cheese
oregano

Mix first five ingredients in bowl. Pour into casserole dish. Mix bread crumbs with parmesan cheese. Layer on top of tomato mixture. Sprinkle top with oregano.

Bake uncovered in 350 oven until heated through - about 45 minutes. Serve over pasta. I usually like to use whole wheat egg noodles.
