DINNER IN A SKILLET

Select an item from the "Pasta" group, place in a large skillet with a cup of water. Select an item from each of the other three groups and add to the skillet. Stir, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender, about 30 minutes. Add water as necessary. If you like, add any of your favorite spices or herbs to taste. Garnish with grated cheese, chopped parsley, chopped hard cooked eggs, buttered bread crumbs, lemon slices, sauteed nuts, crushed potato chips or chow mein noodles.
