With the advent of iPhone and iPod applications, snagging information has gotten a lot easier. There are more than 15,000 applications available on Apple’s iTunes App store. Many of these are food- and drink-related, from calorie counters to menu planners, recipe and restaurant finders.
Since we all have to eat, we sampled a few. We found plenty of choices, but because the recipes on these applications are user-generated, and not tested by the companies that provide the service, you may find renegade ingredients or incomplete instructions. So it is possible that your dishes may have mixed results.

This classic combination gets a kick from red pepper flakes. For more heat use hot Italian sausage.
Hands on time: 25 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Serves: 6

-
3/4 pound penne pasta

Notes:
From the AJC food editor: First we tested the applications, then we tested the recipes the programs suggested by Allrecipes, Chef and DrinkPro. Because some recipes exported by iPhone applications are not tested by the service providers, there were mixed results. Users might encounter clumsily written recipes or mistakes. We kept tweaking the dishes and drinks until we achieved good results.
