Cheesy Bow Ties


2 cans (14 oz. each) diced tomatoes
1 box bow ties (16 oz.)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1 1/3 cup grated Romano
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1/4 cup Blue Cheese OR Feta (OR you could omit this all together if you don't like either)
1/2 cup minced fresh parsely

1. Drain tomatoes, reserving as much juice as you can squeeze out. (I squeezed out about 1 cup)
2. Cook pasta.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk and reserved tomato juice.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, sauce and reserved tomatoes. (I used only one can of the tomatoes.)  Stir in cheese and parsely; toss gently.
4. Place in greased baking dish.  Cook uncovered at 375 for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly.

  1. Loving all the non-meat recipes! I know my kids will LOVE the soup and the cheese and salad pizza and the cheesy bow ties!

  3. Since we've dropped the processed food for us, I've been trying all kinds of exotic vegetarian dishes. As you can imagine, this hasn't gone over well with my 11 year-old. She has still been eating mainly processed foods. I made this for dinner tonight and she told me at least five times how good it was. I used whole wheat shells and added some extra mozz on top. Thanks for the recipe!
