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!
