Roasted Pepper & Tomato Soup

Beautiful and delicious doesn’t have to be complicated. Not at all. I like a soup that has such a variety of aromatic flavors, that with each spoonful I’m wondering just what precisely they put in there to make it taste like this. This is one of those soups. It contains only a few simple and natural ingredients -chances are you’re even working with things you already have in your fridge and…

Farfalle Al Pesto Rosso

Or to put it simpler; bow tie pasta with red pesto. Somehow that just sounds less good, doesn’t it? Earlier this week I whipped up some pesto rosso, and now I’m gonna turn it into a creamy pasta sauce. Cremosa in rosso. Served with fresh vegetables, fragrant basil leaves, olive slices and topped with Parmesan curls, this is a cheerful looking dish. By far my favorite pasta sauce. It’s a creamy and…

But if you want to do something else -if you want to put a little bit more flavor in there…

Even though it’s supposed to be summer, it’s just not. It’s overcast, raining constantly and I even hear some thunder in the distance as I’m typing this. The only thing missing is a lit fireplace and a few cinnamon candles, that would really make it autumn. This kind of weather always makes me crave hearty foods. So why shouldn’t I? I’m also in one of my ‘make do with whatever you…

Kay’s Chicken BLT

I love a good chicken BLT for lunch, always make mine with a little Italian twist. Technically it’s not a BLT without bacon, but I just borrowed the name, the B stands for bread now :)
