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…
Vegetable Fried Rice
Another one of those multi-purpose side dishes. Vegetable fried rice. Is it even a side dish? I know I’d be perfectly happy eating this for dinner as is. But I must admit – I really like it when served with spicy chicken strips, swimming in a sweet & sour sauce with just a hint of fish sauce and sesame oil. I’ve Americanized. No, I really have. Not only do I…
Parmesan Cottage Potatoes
Side dishes, what’s not to love about them? This is one of my favorites. Well, of course it is, why else would I stash it here? It’s not just my favorite, but also of those around me that I feed on a regular basis! (I like how that sounds). They go with pretty much anything and also make a great side dish for BBQ’s. Traditionally you get the crunch in cottage…

With a drop of good quality olive oil, some butter, pepper and salt you can come a long way. Side dishes are different, though, yet they are what makes a simple dinner a great meal. Just because you serve it on the…
Asian Style Beans
Green beans, snap beans, string beans, French beans, whatever you want to call them, they’re in season, they’re cheap, tasty and healthy. Go for it! We’re very high on vegetables here. We easily eat 10 oz a day (per person), so I’m always trying various ways to prepare vegetables making them slightly different every time we eat them. These have a little Asian twist to them and rank high on…
Insalata Caprese
Essentially so simple, but when done properly Insalata Caprese is one of the most amazing summer salads. This salad only contains a handful of ingredients, so it’s very important to use fresh, top quality ingredients. This salad will make you close your eyes and take you roaming the cozy city streets of Italy. Ok, so maybe it won’t! But you will taste some of the best and most delicious antipasto…
