Emeril reminds you that there's much more to pasta than plain old macaroni with marinara sauce. Tonight he's showing you how easy it is to revive that tired pasta recipe by adding or changing just a few simple ingredients. Rigatoni oreganata with tomato sauce and breadcrumbs; Buccatini with Italian tuna and calamata olives; Potato, leek, and bacon ravioli; and Veal stuffed jumbo shells with a mushroom bechamel.
Making a great meal doesn’t have to be expensive. Most people believe the more you spend the better the meal. Wrong! Emeril shows you how to make Braised Chicken Thighs with Button Mushrooms, Herbed Chicken Noodles, and Smoked Turkey and White Bean Casserole. It’s all about great recipes that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
