Our cat Samantha, has a favorite meal - noodle night.  When we have pasta, she gets a noodle or two to play with and it's the best cat toy ever...  This dish is named for her.

2 cloves garlic

¼ cup olive oil

1 pound ground beef or leftover BBQ chicken

1 (15 oz. can tomato sauce)

1 (15 oz. can chopped tomatoes)

2 cups marinara sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

8 ounces macaroni

1 cup grated cheese

3 stalks celery, chopped and boiled 5 minutes.

Use the back big burner for the sauce, reserve the front big burner for the pasta.  Saute minced garlic in olive oil.  Add the meat and brown slightly.  Drain the mixture (only if using raw ground beef).  Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, marinara, salt and pepper.  Simmer for 30 minutes.  Cook the macaroni according to the package directions.  Add drained macaroni to the meat mixture and turn the burner off.  Mix in an oven dish with the drained, cooked celery.  Bake at 400⁰F. for 15 minutes, then top with cheese and serve.
