Farfalle with Ham and Peas
Not bad for such a quick and easy recipe. I made a few preparation changes. Instead of adding the ham and peas and milk to the pasta, I heated the milk in a seperate pan then melted the cheese in. Then I stirred in my peas, ham and pasta. The sauce was a bit bland for my tastes so I'll try jazzing it up a bit. Also the pasta was somewhat dry, even with using a 12 oz package instead of a 16. Needs a bit more sauce.

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream
This was soo good! We made it last night for dinner and I'm polishing off the leftovers now. The sauce came out just a little bit loose at first, but give it a few minutes and it tightens right up. One tip is don't rinse your pasta when you drain it. Rinsing it only rinses away the starch which helps thicken up the sauce, but also adds extra water, which could make it too soupy. Definately something we will make again!

Cheese Frenchy Sandwiches
I love this! Like a previous reviewer, I didn't bother to freeze it at all. I also just used my deep fryer instead of the oil in a pan. Quite delicious!
