Foodies lose it over mum’s quick and clever pasta hack for a perfect family dinner

A mom from Australia shared her quick and easy pasta recipe with two different cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes.

The amateur chef was bombarded with requests for her recipe after she posted photos of a colorful one-pan pasta dish on Facebook.

The mom described the recipe as “super easy” and shared it in the comments section below her post.

“Pour water and sauce of your choice on the bottom of the baking pan (I went around),” she said.

Then add rigatoni pasta, chop into strips to fit pasta (sun-dried tomato, string cheese/mozzarella, zucchini, eggplant or whatever filling you really like) and stuff pasta like shells in layers, top with sauce, a little more water and cheese .’

Fellow foodies were thrilled to get their hands on the recipe. A home cook said: ‘This makes me so happy, I eat this on Friday!!! Thank you very much.’

The relaxed cook didn’t seem to expect the reaction and said: ‘I just cook for real’.

Despite swallowing it, the mother was happy with the dish, describing it as a “masterpiece” and “absolutely delicious.”

Earlier, a savvy foodie shared an unlikely hack to prevent crackers, chips and waffles from going stale after the package is opened.

Tess Eden, from New Zealand, said crackers can stay fresh and crunchy when placed in the fridge in their open container.

The vegetable kiwi, which passes Eden Vegan online, stunned thousands with the little-known “food waste hack” she said she “thought everyone knew.”

“If you have crackers, chips, rice cakes or rice balls, and if you keep them in the fridge like that, they won’t get old,” she said, putting the unwrapped plastic container in the fridge.

“You don’t have to look for a Tupperware container.”

Viewers in the comments were shocked by the “stunning” and simple trick and while some were skeptical, others said they do it all the time.

“When I first heard this I thought it couldn’t be good, but now I’m doing it with everything chippies, crackers, cookies!!” said one user.

Hmmm why don’t I believe you. I’ll try anyway,’ replied for a second.

Chips in the freezer are even better!! They don’t freeze and can last forever!’ a third suggested.

The plant-based kiwi, which goes online by Eden Vegan, said crackers can stay fresh and crunchy when placed in the fridge in their open container.

One person was concerned that the crackers would absorb “strong odors” from other foods in the fridge, but Tess had a trick for that too, giving advice to those who claimed the trick didn’t work for them.

“I keep coffee grounds in my fridge to soak up odors (red onions, etc.) and it’s fresh as a daisy,” she replied.

“Hot Tip – If it doesn’t work in your fridge, try the freezer, your fridge isn’t very cold,” she added.
