An old casserole recipe! It's so delicious that my kids ask to make it every day!

[@fposmith]

Putting oil in your pasta water, is a "no no" ! it may help your pasta to keep from sticking, but it will also keep anything from absorbing into the pasta. You don't need oil. Frequent stirring will keep your pasta from sticking ! Forgo the oil. Your pasta dish will turn out much better without it ! You want your pasta to absorb all the goodness from the sauce you have made.

[@nathaliecahuzac17]

Tout à fait, en ce qui concerne l'huile d'olive. Mais le pire, c'est la mayonnaise industrielle, rajoutée à l'appareil 😂

[@jerryoshea3116]

Correct,i made the same point that it's a No,No! And someone responded with ' She's not an Italian' WTF!! Stupidity is worn like a badge of honour these days!

[@cnobillbradley9673]

I concur!

[@Ganjagrl]

I love the part where you stir to evenly distribute the oil. In the water.

[@yaraabb8146]

Thank you for the tip.

[@number1angel66]

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Don't mind the critics, if people don't like using a specific ingredient they can omit it. It's your recipe and you should continue making it your way!

Does anyone realize how healthy and simple this food is. My mother never used cooking oil,only olive oil. she also didn't use mayonnaise, only sour cream or mustard for flavor.and yes,butter...never margarine. We were very lucky to grow up so healthy.

[@susanmackie7801]

What did she use in place?

[@wunziesmum]

Olive oil, sour cream, mustard and butter.

[@gloriabell9448]

This is NOT an Italian pasta dish! Besides, why always add eggs? I’ll do the ground meat, onions, garlic , maybe add broccoli or black olives & pasta sauce. I only like my eggs scrambled or in an omelette! Plenty of chess is good, maybe at the end add some crushed garlic croutons!

The smoke point of olive oil is much too low for many kinds of cooking.

[@diannamiller17]

I disagree a small amount of olive oil does not prohibit the sauce from being absorbed provided the pasta is rinsed well after boiling. I have used this method for many many years and it has worked for me. Thank you and be Blessed.

No olive oil. If your pasta has olive oil on it the sauce will not stick to it. No salt necessary in the water. Easy recipe. Sauté onion, garlic, celery mushrooms or whatever I had in the crisper. Use any type of pasta.

@@beverly5458 Microplane makes one almost the same. It's about 20% bigger and black + S.S. I use the wand type Microplanes more often and those come in half length version in fine zest, medium cheese and special for chocolate. Colors or full length in white hombre or black marble. They look really sharp and are.) Plus there is a ring/'cup' style purportedly for nutmeg but I hate it as it makes nutmeg dust and the taste gets lost. Better is an old style all steel nutmeg grater or the nutmeg (fine side) of standard box graters. Those are the same burr.) I looked at hundreds of box graters and read dozens of reviews and bought the best and reasonable OXO soft grip. About $25? There are so many designs. Thre are things from another century that look like a UFO landing on Alcatraz or something. Strange. Awkward probably. And most are putting on airs to charge crazy high prices but are no better as essentially it's just punched and folded sheet metal after all. OXO has a lesser grade box grater for cheaper but the 'Soft Grip' with sturdy white handle and detachable storage container with lid is so excellent, I would just get it.

​@@carole4119, yes, critiquing is fine and can be very helpful. But making harsh or angry statements that sound like they think other people are idiots for using oil in the water is only off putting and not helpful at all-especially if using oil has never been an issue for them. There are ways for commenters to suggest/say something to kindly convince another person to try it their way! Talking down to others is not helpful, and it certainly doesn't work with me!
