Equipment

  • 1 Medium nonstick skillet

Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter or margarine
  • 2 ½ cups celery diced; cut and reserve leaves for garnish
  • ¼ cup onion red, white, vidalia OR 1/4 tsp. onion Bouillion paste
  • 16 oz. pasta any kind you want; we used small shells
  • 2 ½ cups Beef + Vegetable Broth Mix (70/30 blend; 2 cups beef + 1/2 cup vegetable)
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp. Dash Original seasoning
  • 1 tsp. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning
  • 2 tsp. organic turmeric
  • ½ Tbsp. chicken Bouillon Powder

Instructions

  • Place butter in a medium pan and melt until slightly brown.
  • Add celery and onion (or bouillon paste), sprinkle pepper, and Mrs. Dash's seasonings. Sauté until tender.
  • Add pasta and stir until covered with remaining butter in the pot.
  • Add broth until pasta is slightly covered. Stir and add turmeric, as well as a bit more pepper (if needed).
  • After 7 - 9 minutes, the pasta should become tender and the broth has absorbed a bit. Reduce heat to simmer and add bouillon powder.
  • After 2 - 3 minutes, the dish will thicken.
  • Add reserved leaves as garnish and serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use any pasta you like. Of course, you can swap out the broth. You can even make this a main dish or an entree and add chicken, ground turkey, or any meat you choose!
