Simple One-Dish Meals Provide Delicious Comfort (NAPSA)—Recent studies have shown that U.S. consumers have responded to the faltering economy by altering their dining habits, including preparing more ill ay iii. meals at home. However, with time at a premium, Americans are turning to the ease and comfort of one-dish meals, such as hearty soups, stews and pasta. One-dish meals offer busy home cooks the benefits of a traditional meal but require less time for ingredient shopping and food preparation. One-dish meals also offer recipe flexibility. For example, prep time can be shortened by sub- stituting precooked sausage for raw, or using cannedor frozen vegetables instead of fresh. The end result will still be a satisfying and nourishing dish the entire family will enjoy. “Americans are embracing a new style of comfort food with recipes that are hearty and full of wholesome ingredients,” said Jones Dairy Farm President Philip Jones, who is also a professionally trained chef. “One-dish meals have widespread appeal because they’re easy, fresh-from- scratch dishes that taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.” This modern Italian pasta dish is gluten-free but can also be prepared with whole-wheat spaghetti.
