Hawaiian Tortellini Pasta Salad (WIth Video)

Hawaiian Tortellini Pasta Salad is a like a party in your mouth! It's a blend of your favorite island flavors in a fabulously bright, sweet and tangy summer pasta salad. A simple recipe with an outstanding pineapple-ginger dressing, this will be a hit everywhere you take it.

Chad and I are celebrating 20 years together and 10 years married this year. It is a big year. When we married it was not good timing for a honeymoon so we said we would take out honeymoon for our 1st anniversary. Well, 1st became 2nd and needless to say we never had that honeymoon. Here we are celebrating 10 years and I want to celebrate big.

Hawaii big! I am thinking about traveling to Hawaii and renewing our vows in a very intimate ceremony on the beach. I imagine a beautiful flowing floral dress, leis around our necks (Chad is wear some cool beach shorts and a shirt) and waves crashing on the beach with my beautiful daughter standing by my side. Lots of entertainment, hula dancing, luaus and food. Ohhhh, the food. That is the absolute perfect 'familymoon'!!!

I have never actually been to Hawaii, but I have dreamed of it and with summer nearing and Hawaii on my mind I was inspired to create a recipe with the essence of Hawaii in a summer salad. One of my favorite combinations that makes me think of Hawaii is ham and pineapple. The inspiration of this recipe actually came from the Hawaiian pizza (very mainland, huh?) once you try one you may never go back.

My favorite Hawaiian pizza is a hand tossed crust with marinara sauce that is fully loaded with ham, pineapple, red onion, and peppers. I took that amazing Hawaiian pizza and turned into my newest summer salad creation.

It all starts with a rainbow of vegetables, ham, tortellini and pineapple of course. But the real magic is the dressing. A sweet pineapple dressing with a little kick from ginger is the perfect complement to this fun and non-traditional Hawaiian Tortellini Salad.

This pasta salad is so summery and refreshing. I could not stop eating it. I did manage to share it with family and friends though. What can I say, I love to feed people. And they all loved it and asked for the recipe! That is the mark of a great recipe. I know you are going to love it too.

Helpful Tips to make Hawaiian Tortellini Salad:

Salad is excellent the next day. If you like a lighter dressing coating make 1/2 of the dressing recipe. This gives it a nice and thick coating.
If you do not have ginger paste, you can use finely diced fresh ginger or ground ginger to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon).
This is a fantastic make ahead salad. When making ahead, use 1/2 of the dressing when preparing the salad. Reserve the remaining dressing to pour over the salad before you serve. This will keep the salad nice and creamy. If you use all of the dressing initially your pasta may soak up all the dressing.

Fresh Strawberry Pie + VIDEO

Fresh Strawberry Pie without Jello is bursting with natural flavor and so easy and quick to make from scratch. This simple but so delicious dessert recipe is always a hit especially when served with a big dollop of whipped cream on top!

Fresh Strawberry Pie without Jello is so easy to make from scratch and tastes amazingly flavorful. This pie recipe is perfect for summer because it can be made without turning the oven on.

You can use a store-bought pie crust or a no-bake graham cracker crust as a base (or go the fancy route and make your own pie crust).

This Strawberry Pie is loaded with juicy, fresh strawberries and made with a homemade strawberry glaze without added gelatin that lets the natural flavor of the strawberries be the star.

Is you are looking for other fresh strawberry recipes, check out our Strawberry Jam!

I have the biggest sweet tooth and love everything with berries but strawberry pie is definitely one of my favorite desserts!

This Fresh Strawberry Pie is the perfect spring and summer dessert made with simple ingredients! Top it with a big dollop of whipped cream and you have an easy dessert that everyone will love!

Helpful Tips to make Fresh Strawberry Pie:

I used a homemade pie crust for this recipe but you can also use a Graham Cracker Crust or a store-bought pie crust to save time.
For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality strawberries. The strawberries are the star of this recipe so look for the freshest strawberries you can find that don’t have any bruises or discoloration.
This pie tastes best on the same day! The longer it sits the higher the risk of the juicy strawberries making the pie crust soggy. To avoid a soggy pie crust you can seal the crust by painting melted chocolate in the bottom and inside of cooled pie crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set the chocolate before adding the berries.
Make sure to stir the cornstarch mixture continuously for 2-3 minutes until it is thick and translucent. You don’t want it to be clumpy.
This pie won’t be as sturdy because it is made without gelatin but it will not ooze all over after cutting if you keep it refrigerated and serve it straight from the fridge.
Don’t forget the whipped cream! Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven!!

What you will need to make Fresh Strawberry Pie:

Pie Dish - This is my everyday pie dish but if I want to use a fancier one this is my go-to pie dish for guests.
Strawberry Huller - This little tool makes hulling strawberries super easy and it’s safe for kids. It works best on medium and larger strawberries.
Hand Mixer - If you have problems with whipping cream try using a hand mixer. I prefer to use this one instead of my stand mixer to whip cream because I have more control and don’t over-whip the cream.

Enjoy!

Instant Pot Mac and Cheese is so creamy and can be made in less than 15 minutes using your electric pressure cooker!

Homemade Instant Pot Mac n Cheese is the ultimate comfort food that the whole family will love! It is easy and quick to make and so flavorful and rich.

Cooking the Macaroni in the Instant Pot saves you a few steps, no need to drain the pasta and everything can be made in one pot.

I love to serve it topped with crispy bacon bits or chopped ham and a side salad as a main dish but it also makes the perfect side dish for so many meals. Perfect for busy weeknights or holiday dinners!

Hey friends, it's Julia from Plated Cravings here. I’m happy to be a contributor on TSRI and share some of my favorite recipes with Donna and Chad's lovely readers.

Over on my blog I love to share easy Instant Pot recipes like my family’s favorite Instant Pot Chili that’s so flavorful and delicious but can be whipped up in under 45 minutes. This Mac and Cheese Instant Pot recipe can be made even quicker and is always a big hit whenever I make it.

Cooking the Macaroni in a Pressure Cooker makes them cook faster and using chicken broth instead of water makes this comfort food even more flavorful and creamy. You’ll never want to make Mac and Cheese another way after you tried this easy recipe!

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Helpful Tips to make Instant Pot Mac and Cheese:

This recipe works in the 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot. If you are using an 8 quart Instant Pot it is possible to double the recipe, no need to adjust the time.
You can use elbow macaroni or corkscrew macaroni for this recipe.
If you are using low-sodium chicken broth you might need to adjust the seasoning and add ½ teaspoon of salt to the uncooked noodles.
If you don’t have chicken broth on hand you can use the same amount of water or vegetable broth instead.
I recommend to grate the cheese yourself and to not use shredded cheese because the shredded cheese won’t get as creamy and smooth as “normal” cheese.
To get the best flavor and texture use a combination of cheeses. You can substitute 1 cup of cheddar cheese with mozzarella cheese but don’t use more than one cup otherwise it will be very stringy.
Instead of cheddar you can use any smooth melting cheese like gouda, gruyere, or Monterey jack for example.
I prefer to use regular milk instead of evaporated milk in this recipe because I always have regular milk on hand and find that it tastes better.
If there is extra liquid left after cooking, give it a stir, put the lid back on and let it sit for a few more minutes until the pasta has absorbed all the liquid.
Depending on how dry or wet the cooked macaroni are use 1/2 cup of milk or more until the desired consistency is reached.
This creamy dish tastes best fresh because the longer mac and cheese sits, the dryer it will become. Reheating is possible but don’t expect it to taste as creamy and smooth as before.

What you will need to make Instant Pot Mac and Cheese:

Instant Pot - If you don’t have an Instant Pot you need to buy one! I love mine!!
Cheese Grater - This grater is my favorite!
Hot Sauce - I can’t get enough of this hot sauce.

Enjoy!

4-Ingredient Amish White Bread + VIDEO

4-Ingredient Amish White Bread is a simple recipe that creates a soft and tender, slightly sweet white bread. It is so easy, it is nearly a no-fail recipe. This is a keeper!

There is just something about making your own bread. It is unlike any other 'domestic' task. It is especially wonderful when it is this easy.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Active dry yeast
Warm water - You could also use milk or beer. They are both tasty in bread recipes. Just make sure to warm them in the microwave, until they feel warm to the touch.
All-purpose flour - Do not use bread flour or whole wheat flour, as they are much heavier than AP flour. As a result, the bread will be dense and doughy.
Granulated sugar - This recipe is very forgiving. You can adjust the sugar up or down according to your preference. You can also substitute another sweetener like honey in this recipe.
Salt - Fine grain kosher salt is the best for bread recipes like this one.
Butter - I personally prefer unsalted butter so I can add the salt to my liking. If you use salted butter you can cut down the salt in the recipe by 1/4 teaspoon.

How to make 4-Ingredient Amish White Bread

The complete ingredient list and instructions are shown in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Recipe tips for the perfect loaf of bread

Combining the ingredients

Kneading the dough

Shaping the dough for the rise - fold the sides of the dough over into the middle of the dough. Flip the dough over. Cup your hands along the right and left sides of the dough and pull it toward you. Rotate the dough a quarter turn and repeat. After about 10 times you will have a nice smooth dough.

Getting a good rise - Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat butter in the microwave until butter is melted. Place the dough into the bowl with the butter, flipping once to grease the top. Make sure the smooth side of the ball is on top for the rise. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and a towel over the top and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape the bread for the bread pans - Place dough on a lightly floured countertop. Pat one of the divided doughs into an oval. Fold the top third of the dough and fold it into the middle of the dough. Use the heel of your hand to press the top layer into the bottom layer. Repeat with the bottom third of the dough. Like you are folding a letter. Fold the dough in half. Pull the ends of the dough down and tuck under like a package to make a smooth dough.

The second rise - Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Testing for doneness - Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the loaf is pale brown in color. If you turn the bread over and tap on it, it should sound hollow.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Helpful Tips to make Simple Amish White Bread Recipe:

Bread flour will achieve the highest possible rise and a chewier crumb, all-purpose is more common to have on hand. You can use either.
You can make this recipe without a stand mixer. Add water, yeast, and sugar to a large bowl. Once the yeast blooms stir in the butter, salt and the flour using a wooden spoon. Turn dough out onto a floured countertop and knead for 10-12 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and holds its shape (when you poke it, it springs back). Proceed with remaining instructions.
If bread starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
For hamburger buns, grease a cookie sheet. Divide dough and roll into balls. Gently press on dough balls with the palm of your hand (creating a bun shape).
4-Ingredient Amish White Bread will stay fresh for 4-5 days at room temperature. It’s still safe to eat after that time, but it will most likely be stale by then. To store the bread after slicing, place it in a paper bag. Be sure to remove as much air as possible before tightly closing up the bag. You can also freeze this bread for later use. I recommend slicing it before freezing. You can freeze for up to 6 months.

Simple Amish White Bread Recipe

4-Ingredient Amish White Bread is a simple recipe that creates a soft and tender, slightly sweet white bread. It is so easy, it is nearly a no-fail recipe. This is a keeper!

prep time: 5 Mcook time: 30 Mtotal time: 35 M

ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast (2 packets)
2 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 120°)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6-7 cups all-purpose flour

instructions:

How to bake 4-Ingredient Amish White Bread

Melt 4 tablespoons butter. I microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until it is mostly melted. I recommend covering with a paper towel to avoid messes. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add sugar and water. Sprinkle yeast over top and swirl with spoon or fingers to combine. Allow the yeast to sit for about 5-10 minutes while the it blooms and becomes aromatic.
Add melted butter, 4 cups flour, and salt. Mix on low, using the dough hook, until smooth. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough ball forms (I use the entire 7 cups). Turn the mixer to medium and knead for 5 minutes. When it is ready, your ball of dough should be tacky, not sticky. When you touch the dough and pull your fingers away the dough should not stick to your fingers. If it is sticky, add a little more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it becomes tacky.
Turn the dough onto a floured board; knead about 10 turns. To knead dough: fold it in half, gently press the dough away from you with the heel of your hand and then turn the dough. Repeat. When you are finished kneading your dough should be smooth and elastic.
Shape dough into a smooth ball so it will rise properly: fold the sides of the dough over into the middle of the dough. Flip the dough over. Cup your hands along the right and left sides of the dough and pull it toward you. Rotate the dough a quarter turn and repeat. After about 10 times you will have a nice smooth dough.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat butter in the microwave until butter is melted. Place the dough into the bowl with the butter, flipping once to grease the top. Make sure the smooth side of the ball is on top for the rise. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and a towel over the top and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide into two loaves.
Shape the bread for the bread pans: Place dough on a lightly floured countertop. Pat one of the divided doughs into an oval. Fold the top third of the dough and fold it into the middle of the dough. Use the heel of your hand to press the top layer into the bottom layer. Repeat with the bottom third of the dough. Like you are folding a letter. Fold the dough in half. Pull the ends of the dough down and tuck under like a package to make a smooth dough.
Place each dough in a greased 9-in. x 5-in loaf pan. Press the dough down flat in the bread pan, using your flat hand to help it rise evenly.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
Place bread on the center rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. You can turn in out onto a plate and thump the bottom of the bread if it sounds hollow it is done.
Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan, on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Remove the bread from the pans and brush with the remaining butter.
Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting or you may smoosh the bread loaf. I can never wait, but it is best if you can.

DONNA'S NOTES

Bread flour will achieve the highest possible rise and a chewier crumb, all-purpose is more common to have on hand. You can use either.
You can make this recipe without a stand mixer. Add water, yeast, and sugar to a large bowl. Once the yeast blooms stir in the butter, salt and the flour using a wooden spoon. Turn dough out onto a floured countertop and knead for 10-12 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and holds its shape (when you poke it, it springs back). Proceed with remaining instructions.
If bread starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
For hamburger buns, grease a cookie sheet. Divide dough and roll into balls. Gently press on dough balls with the palm of your hand (creating a bun shape).
4-Ingredient Amish White Bread will stay fresh for 4-5 days at room temperature. It’s still safe to eat after that time, but it will most likely be stale by then. To store the bread after slicing, place it in a paper bag. Be sure to remove as much air as possible before tightly closing up the bag. You can also freeze this bread for later use. I recommend slicing it before freezing. You can freeze for up to 6 months.
