If you want your kids to learn how to cook, with an eye to the distant future when they'll be on their own, then you might interest them by choosing a few easy recipes for pasta. If they can have fun making them, you might maintain their interest long enough that they'll actually learn something.
Other easy recipes involve casseroles. Take the "Hot Dog Macaroni Bake" at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hot-Dog-Macaroni-Bake/Detail.aspx, for example. The ingredients are mostly packaged or canned, meaning there won't be much chopping.
Two packages of dry macaroni and cheese are made as normal, but then the kids stir in chunks of processed cheese, a package of sliced hot dogs, two cans of condensed tomato soup and one of condensed cream of celery, with a chopped onion and two cups of thawed frozen peas.
The concoction bakes in a casserole dish at 350 degrees for forty-five minutes. This is the sort of dish the kids can make for a crowd of their friends.
It may take a little creativity to discover or devise easy recipes that will get the kids making pasta with you. Macaroni is always a good standby, of course, and anything else you can do that's slithery and potentially messy will virtually always get their attention.
Pasta pomodoro may be somewhere in their distant future if they enjoy their experiences as kids. So if they are having a good time making pasta now, take heart even through they are slithery, messy recipes.
