Taglierini

I have no idea where this recipe came from, but it has always been a favorite. Growing up I was excited to see this on the table, and that says a lot because I was one of those really picky kids. :) It's very tasty and a good variation from normal marinara sauce. I don't usually like olives, but in here they just GO! :D It's a fun, yummy, easy pasta dish. Serve with corn bread or breadsticks and a veggie. :D Serves 6.

Taglierini (tal-yer-eenie)

1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
1-15 oz can tomato sauce
1 can corn, drained
1 can tomato soup + 1 soup can water
1 can pitted olives, drained (optional)
2 c uncooked noodles (I like elbow macaroni)
1 c diced or shredded cheese

Melt butter in soup pan (dutch oven) over medium heat and saute onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add hamburger and cook until browned. Add remaining ingredients except the cheese and let sauce return to a simmer; cook until noodles are done, about 10 minutes. Stir often while cooking to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom. Once noodles are done remove pan from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted.
