Instructions
  1. In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the 1 cup chopped onion; cook about 4 minutes or until tender. Add chicken and garlic; cook about 4 minutes more or until chicken is browned, turning once. Stir in broth, poultry seasoning, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Bring mixture to boiling. Stir in uncooked rice. Reduce heat. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Stir in black-eyed peas and the 1 tablespoon thyme. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until heated through and liquid is absorbed. If desired, garnish with additional finely chopped red onion and snipped thyme.
  2. Tip: You can find saffron-flavored yellow rice mix with other rice mixes in your supermarket. Look for a brand (such as Vigo® or Carolina®) that combines the seasonings and the rice to make it easier to measure out the ¾ cup needed for this recipe. If the brand you buy comes with a separate seasoning packet (such as Goya®), mix the seasonings with the rice in a separate bowl and measure out ¾ cup.
Recipe Notes

I used half a yellow onion, since that's what I had, and I thought it was pretty good.  Served with cornbread.  Steve wasn't too fond of the black-eyed peas, suggested we sub with something else next time.

Recipe Notes

I'm going to make this for my mum, who has food allergies, and is lactose intolerant.  The internet says Velveeta, etc, are generally worse for lactose intolerant people than regular cheeses, so I'm going to try substituting 2% lactose free milk for the milk, and a mix of 3/4 mild cheddar and 1/4 mozzarella.

Instructions
  1. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until still firm, about 4-6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until foamy and nutty smelling, 1–2 minutes. Whisking constantly, gradually add milk and bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking often, until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1/3 cup Pecorino; season with 1/2 tsp. salt and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  3. Mix ricotta, mozzarella, shallot, egg, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup basil, and remaining 1/3 cup Pecorino and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
  4. Spoon ricotta mixture into manicotti noodles at both ends. Spread half of tomato sauce then half of cheese sauce (keep them separate but they'll meld together) on bottom of a 13x9" or other 3-qt. baking dish. Arrange manicotti over, then top with remaining tomato sauce, cheese sauce, and 1/3 cup Parmesan. Bake manicotti until bubbling and lightly browned on top, 30–35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Top with remaining 1/4 cup basil and serve.
Recipe Notes

I am going to try just half the recipe, and I am also going to cook 1/2 lb. of Italian sausage to add to my sauce before I put it in the oven.
