Tortellini with Walnut & Mascarpone Sauce
Looks good, doesn’t it? The name just doesn’t do it justice, though. Maybe I should have named it something fancy and exotic, but alas, I didn’t. What can I say? I’m plain Jane boring! I’m beige. Neutral. I also never paint my nails, don’t have a credit card and haven’t worn anything but chap stick since the day my son was born, so coming up with boring and generic recipe names is…
Pappardelle Con Pollo
Like most kids out there, my son loves pasta. And he loves chicken. Win-win situation. Here’s a great way to combine those two, with some added vegetables, in a way that tastes absolutely phenomenal. This is a major staple recipe at our house. The sauce has a really mellow flavor that lends itself for lots of tweaking. It’s kinda sweet—I’m using a lot of carrot for sweetness—and rich. Just play…
Penne Rigate Della Kay
Remember the Roasted Tomatoes & Magor Sauce I made? You just have to! Seriously, your only excuse would be short term memory loss! Or at least a lobotomy. I figured a special sauce like this deserves a special recipe, so I’ve wrecked my brain trying to come up with a recipe that would do it justice. Decided to just play it by ear. I threw in some extra vegetables,…
Kayotic Pasta Gratin
When I want to make the men in my life happy, I cook this. Okay, so it kinda makes me happy, too. What is it? Think of it as a combination between baked pasta and a gratin, sans the cream. Plus, it’s the ideal way for me to get the kiddo to eat broccoli; something he won’t touch with a 10 foot pole otherwise. Just a simple but incredibly tasty…
Pasta For One. Or Two.
College food. Does that phrase ring any bells? If you’re smiling right now, you know what I’m talking about, don’t you? College food is what you used to make when you were strapped for money and time, but pretty darn hungry. Fast and filling and preferably delicious, though I’ve had friends who didn’t use delicious—or even remotely good—as a criteria as long as it was edible. It probably won’t…
Dutch Macaroni
A question I’m often asked; “What package did you use? Geez, thanks a lot, so when something tastes good, it has to be a package, right? :) I have to admit I seldom to never use packages for anything. It’s not that I’m a food purist—I just really don’t like the faint suggestion of something chemical I always seem to taste in there. I get far better results with simple…
