Close your eyes and picture green velvety grass, fragrant roses of all colors and sizes, two prominent rivers, oodles of outdoor recreation and the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Sometimes it's difficult to run a website that is all about recipes when in fact you rarely 'follow' a recipe. LOL. Oh, I use them for 'guides' but as I've stated many times, I use 2 or 3 or 4 to read, get ideas from and then 'wing it'. I like for my readers to do that too! It's how I've taught my girls to cook and it's how I'm hoping a few of you are cooking as well. The kitchen is a place t

To me, pasta alioli is like a more elegantly simple, and healthy, version of fettucini alfredo. People will go to great lengths to reduce the fat and calories in traditional fettucini alfredo, and along the way it becomes a sort of franken-sauce with all sorts of odds and ends and quirky substitutions. So before you reach for the partially hydrogenated defatted cream cheese for some franken-fredo

This is a different way to serve portobello mushrooms - grilled and filled with pasta. I tried this yesterday and it came out very good.

I wanted to end with a classic pasta dish so that it would satisfy what anyone would imagine as a pasta dinner. You can't go wrong with meat sauce! We happened to have a large amount of very lean sliced beef so Lon got to play with our new grinder attachment. Because it was so lean, I added pancetta to this recipe but I still think you should use fattier meat. I got to make mushrooms since Lon wasn't going to be home but I still chose to make it a mushroom topping as opposed to mushrooms in the sauce because I figured we would have left-overs, and Lon would want to eat it.Good Old Meat Sauce5 ounces Pancetta, chopped2 onions chopped2 small or 1 medium carrot, brunoised2 pounds of lean ground meat2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomato1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce1 (28 oz) can crushed tomato12 cloves g
The cheese guy at Whole Foods suggested Laguiole, a French Cheddar-style cheese, and after my first bite, I was sold. It's perfect for eating alone, having so much flavor, sharp and tangy, fruity yet ashy, nutty, rich and salty, really distinctive. I decided to make it into a unique Mac & Cheese.White Truffle Laguiole Mac & Cheese6 ounces dry elbow macaroni (Barilla)5.5 ounces Laguiole, shredded2 tablespoons heavy cream2 teaspoons truffle oil (optional)1. Cook the elbows according to package instructions, rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.2. Toss macaroni elbows and Laguiole in a 3 1/2 quart pot. Turn on a low flame.

Tomorrow, I'm riding in the NYC Bike Tour with a group of friends. So tonight, I had them over for a preparatory pasta dinner. The idea is to have pasta so I decided on a three course pasta tasting.

Pasta is an all-time favourite. I love it for its varied shapes and its succulence when it is served in a platter drowned in white sauce or when accompanied with sun-dried tomatoes.I saw this at Happy Cook's abode!Though the pasta didn't contain sun-dried tomatoes nor was it drowned in white sauce, it fascinated me all the more for the presence of ham in it.I used all the ingredients, except for the use of peas.This one-pot dish of pasta goes to Pavani, who is hosting MBP this month.

i drank wine every day for lunch, dinner (and sometimes breakfast); and still was never drunk. i'm not sure what it is, but there certainly is some form of magic that hangs over italy that allows you to enjoy to excess without having to pay the consequences. we probably all could use a bit more sexy pasta and a bottle of chianti to make the days go by easier.

I posted a while ago about my lucky find of a bargain £5 pasta making machine in a local charity shop, and how the pasta making turned into something of a disaster. I have been a bit busy since then what with finding a new job, going away at the weekend for a stag party and just generally being too hectic to find time to do some cooking. Today, however, I snuck off work early and had another attempt at making pasta.A few people gave some good advice and comments on the last attempt, especially Toontz of Okara Mountain, who directed me to his post on making okara pasta, and Drew of How to Cook Like Your Grandmother. I also did a bit of further reading around the subject as well and have attempted to combine all the learnings into this post. It seems some people recommend using semolina

(English version? Scroll down)Iedereen kent wel de verschillende kleuren pasta, rood/oranje met tomaat, geel met saffraan en groen met spinazie. Dan heb je nog zwart met inktvisinkt, grijs/bruin met gemalen porcini en bruin met cacao. Kortom je kunt alle kanten op. Een poosje terug alweer zag ik donkergroene pasta met basilicum (2,5% volgens de verpakking) gemaakt en omdat ik zo dol ben op basilicum leek me dat aardig om eens te proberen. Ik besloot er eens een vegetarische schotel mee te maken, die goed in de smaak viel. De uiteindelijke schotel deed qua uiterlijk een beetje aan boontjes denken, zodat mijn man bij de 2e portie meldde nog wel een schep van die "boontjes" te willen. Je kunt het natuurlijk ook met gewone pasta maken, en er eventueel wat extra basilicum aan toevoegen.Basilicu
Apparently, this method for cooking pasta came from the chef at the Hotel Tre Vasselle near Perugia – an establishment of some culinary renown in years gone by. We stayed there once for the weekend, as part of attending the International Chocolate Festival in Perugia sometime in the late nineties. Sadly, by that stage, The Tre Vasselle had sold out to the package tour market, and was already coasting along on the basis of its former reputation Sic Gloria Transit.The method for pasta, though, remains uncompromised in any way. Pasta – a short tubular form is best for this, as it gets knocked around quite a bit in the process of stirring – is cooked in chicken stock, and then finished off with cream and a thick, coating sauce. Not only are more flavours absorbed along the way than with
Today at lunch time I had to go out to the bank. On the way back, I walked past a charity shop and spotted in the window this Imperia pasta machine, unused and in the box, sparkling like brand new.I had to go in and have a look and when I saw the price, only £5, I just had to buy it. I knew they were expensive, and checked on the internet later to find the Imperia Italian Double Cutter Pasta Machine SP150 retailing for £35 in Amazon. So I was well impressed with this.I spoke to an Italian friend at work to get the basic recipe, 100 g of flour with 1 egg. She was incredibly jealous of my new purchase, reminiscing that every Italian child made pasta with their grandmother using one of these.As soon as I got home, I got some flour and tried it out.

I picked up some aubergines and peppers at a market today, not locally as we only have Tesco near us, but made a trip further afield to the next town (what an adventure)! It was one of those special offers where they sell any bowl of fruit or veg for £1, and I can't resist a bargain. So I then had to find something to do with them!I was inspired by Helen at Food Stories with her recipe for Broccoli and Anchovy Pasta with Roasted Aubergine Sauce. I am not (yet) adventurous enough to try making my own pasta, and besides I have not got a pasta maker! But her sauce provided the inspiration for tonight's dinner. The resulting sauce reminded me of some Lloyd Grossman sauces in jars that I used to eat as a student very regularly, it was really rich and tomatoey, with a nice sweet flavour wh

I came up with this easy chicken primavera several weeks ago. I love the concept of this simple meal made with fresh or leftover chicken (I usually make it with leftovers). It is very easy to prepare on my stovetop in my large, enameled, cast iron dutch oven. (A recent birthday present from my sweetie!) I've made this easy, yummy dish several times since, and I'm looking forward to it again this week!One of the best things about being gluten free is that I learned how to make a roux. Basically, a roux can be the base of a creamy sauce, soup, gravy, etc... A roux is so easy and so helpful in cooking. I like knowing that I no longer have to depend on a can of Campbell's soup to make a meal. I am able make that "can of cream soup" all by myself, and it's so much better than the "can" ever was

Set aside. Optional: cook broccoli florets (I cook mine to take just a little bit of the crunch out by dropping into boiling water for 5 minutes then removing because you don't want soggy broccoli). Cool and set aside. Combine the other ingredients (except dressing) in a bowl. Add pasta and broccoli and toss. Add dressing and toss again. Refrigerate over night for best flavor. Variations: Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese in addition to the parmesan cheese (we like cheese!) Replace black olives with chopped green Spanish olives
Lucchese, Braglia: "La partita di Arezzo ci dirà di che pasta siamo fatti"Alla
ripresa degli allenamenti, il tecnico rossonero traccia la rotta di
avvicinamento al big match contro l'Arezzo. Una partita fondamentale

i concomitanti passi falsi delle prime, ha riavvicinato la vetta della
classifica.LUCCA -
Fino ad oggi, il mister della Lucchese ha quasi sempre scansato, almeno
pubblicamente, l'idea di puntare a qualcosa di più sostansioso rispetto
ai "miseri" play-off. Come dargli torto? Dopotutto, la Lucchese, ad
inizio campionato, non era neanche partita così bene. L'attuale

Il vicepresidente del Consiglio regionale Roberto Occhiuto (Udc) ha presentato un progetto di legge recante "Interventi a favore del contenimento del prezzo dei prodotti di prima necessità".

I just got home from my all-weekend bachelorette party. It was awesome and I am exhausted, so I'm only doing a mini post tonight and I promise I will get the rest posted tomorrow.So, on Friday, I met up with some girls in Astoria to stock up on food from Costco and we had to grab a quick lunch before hitting the road. Dino's Pizza and Pasta Dino's Pizza and Pasta was chosen arbitrarily and Monica and I shared an enormous Chicken Roll. The sauce, cheese, and dough, were all fine, standard pizzeria quality. I also appreciated the very generous amount of cheese oozing out but sadly there was one fatal problem with the Chicken Roll, the chicken.

This is a traditional Greek sweet, which I remember from childhood always being served with the coffee or juice whenever we went on family visits. It is more often than not baked in a square or rectangular dish, but can also be baked in a circular shape, as you can see from the photo.

Leftovers. There's much to be said for them. In part, it's associational, I'm sure - childhood memories of treasure trove to be discovered in the fridge the morning after parental dinner parties - and in part, I won't deny, there's a sense of satisfaction in having no wastage and in making sure that every last scrap gets used up somehow (I don't have Scots blood for nothing!)Many leftovers are just that and no more, and they tend merely to be boxed up and disappear into the freezer to be unearthed and consumed at some future date, exactly as they were the first time around. Other ways of dealing with recycled food, though, are so good in their own right that it's worth making double the amount to start with, solely in order to be able to make the 'leftovers' dish in the subsequent days.

This recipe is really different, and a very easy pasta dish to make. It has some really powerful flavor combinations with the walnuts, sun dried tomatoes, the fresh basil, parmesan cheese, and the feta cheese. It will go really well with a nice salad, with a home made vinaigrette, and some garlic bread. You can always add some very good Italian style olives, if you want to add that flavor profile to this dish. I hope that you enjoy this recipe, it is easy, and it tastes delicious.Ingredients you will need:1 (9-ounce) package of linguine3/4 cup oil-packed sun dried tomatoes halves, drained2 Tablespoons of canola oil, or olive oil1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves2 tablespoons walnuts2 tablespoons pre-shredded fresh Parmesan cheese1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teasp

The app will also say when it’s “al dente” ; i.e. when there is 1 minute left and … well you’ll see if you install the app.The App is clearly beta.Requires a Python install.Free Download: cookpasta.sis and pastatimeradditionalfiles.zipvia: jaspp.netTech Tags: nokia, s60, series 60, s60 3rd edition, freeware
Yesterday afternoon I made up 6 batches of homemade pasta. I typically make plain egg noodles and spinach noodles but I had some butternut squash on hand so I decided to use that as well and see what I got. The end result? Yummy pasta recipes are up on my American Housewife site.
Last week I blogged that my parents had come to visit and brought not only some cheese they had purchased in bulk from a local Mennonite auction, but a few other things, including containers my Dad had pulled out of the freezer and brought to me without my mother immediately knowing. They were labeled "Squash" on the top by a hastily scribbled marker. That's all I knew about them.My Mother has never been one to branch out in her cooking nor her eating. She only eats one type of squash, and that would be butternut with tons of brown sugar and butter on it and baked in the oven. I've never, ever been a fan of this... not as a child, not as an adult. I tend to shy away from any foods smothered in 'sweet' sugars or sauces of any kind so it's not a surprise that dumping sugar and butter o
Pasta is such a staple dinner item in so many homes, it can get kind of challenging to make it interesting! But of course, thanks to hundreds of different types of pasta varieties, and also the packaged sauces that supermarkets horde for you, there are plenty of options to choose from, especially when different people in the same house have different tastes. Like I love penne and rigatoni, but my dear husband settles for nothing but linguine or fettucine. So if I have to feed him something else, I have to package it in a clever and tasty way so he can crib a little but still enjoy his food:) I generally like the sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce for my pasta, but this time I tried making the traditional Italian Marinara sauce at home, just to see if I could compete with Raagu and Bertoli!! It
This is a recipe that my lovely girlfriend cooked for me today, and very tasty it was too. She had never made a cheese sauce before so I had to explain over the phone how to make a quick and easy cheese sauce. The two simple rules to making a perfect cheese sauce are ...Keep mixing.Add all the ingredients VERY slowly.This cheese sauce can be made with many different types of cheese and used to make a variety of dishes, I use a cheddar version when making lasagne.The fresh pasta used in this recipe was tomato and smoked ham stuffed cappalletti, but any stuffed fresh pasta can be used. I think a cheesy pasta would go well with this recipe as well.This recipe makes enough for 4 portions.Ingredients600 g fresh pasta75 g blue cheese3 tbsps butter3 tbsps flour1.5 cups milk1 head broccoliSalt
Hace rato que la miraba, se veía bien, el supermercado no estaba tan lleno, y aparecía de repente entre los helados, las frutillas y el pan. En una curva nos encontramos. Cada uno detrás de su carrito. Miró el contenido del mío, en un segundo se fijó en todo, y me dijo, ¿Sabes donde están las Pastas para Uno? En mi casa, le dije, rápido y clavándole los ojos. Se demoró un siglo en contestar. Tal vez para otra vez, me dijo. Así que aquí estoy, con mi Pasta para Uno, y ella, seguramente, con la suya. Pero la mía está más rica. Más producida. Y la copa de vino acompaña bien.
Chef Boyardee has a canned product out that doesn't contain milk! It does contain egg, soy & wheat however. Chef Boyardee Mini Bites Mini Pasta Shells & Meatballs is dairy free. This product is manufactured by Conagra.I have had prior experience with ConAgra foods and found that they are uncooperative at best in answering allergy questions. However, in their defense, many of their products comply with the FDA, stating clearly underneath the ingredients, which, if any, of the top eight allergens the product contains. In this respect, at least when I purchase foods manufactured by Conagra, I know I don't have to meticulously scan the label for hidden milk ingredients. I am disappointed that neither Conagra nor Chef Boyardee list ingredients on their websites.It is an exciting moment
When Kyle climbed up into his booster seat and saw the plate waiting for him at the dinner table, he said in his most earnest three-year-old voice, "Oh, thank you Mother for not making anything yucky for dinner." Yes, he has taken to calling me "Mother," but that is not the reason for this post. With such a ringing endorsement from him, Amanda's request for seconds, and Terry's thumbs-up, I

Every one loves pasta. The overall beauty of pasta is its versatility, from a basic tomato sauce to a carbonara or tomato and meatball sauce to a rocket, pesto and pine nut pasta salad you can't help but be tempted by one form or another. When making a past salad the first thing that you need make sure you get right is the pasta, seems obvious really but so many people get it wrong. The whole world knows that pasta should be "al dente" when cooked for a hot pasta dish, for a pasta salad you need to very slightly, by a matter of seconds, undercook the pasta as it's own heat will continue to cook it whilst cooling. The safest way to ensure that you don't over cook it is to run it under some cold water as some as you have drained it, this will stop it from cooking itself. When the pasta has c

Recently I came across this lovely animal shaped pasta. Funny looking animals made me remember my favorite childhood pasta dish - pasta with walnuts and sugar. It's a very, very easy to make dish/snack. The recipe:For one small noodle bowl of pasta you'll need 1 Tbsp sugar and 2 Tbsp ground walnuts. Just stir everything with cooked pasta and that's it. It doesn't get any easier than that, doesn't it? This is a part of Presto Pasta Night at Once Upon A Feast. You can see the roundup here.

Sabato mattina ho acquistato dei bellissimi totano pescati in riviera, ho subito pensato a farne una buiona pasta, così dopo avere comprato le casarecce (una pasta siciliana credo), ho ipotizzato questa semplice ma gustosa ricetta, visto le quantità potrebbe anche essere visto come piatto unico. Il gusto delicato ma presente dei totani si sposa bene con la passata e i pomodori maturi
Arroz y pastaArrozMuy nutritivo por su riqueza en almidón, y de fácil digestión, entra el arroz en muchas preparaciones culinarias.Existen diversas clases y variedades. Los de grano blando son adecuados para hervirlos con caldos de carne, pescado o verdura. En cambio para guisarlo en cazuela o para paella son preferibles los de grano duro y grande que tienen gran capacidad de absorción de líquidos y condimentos a la vez que sus granos se mantienen sueltos.El país de mayor producción de arroz en el mundo es China seguida de cercs por los demás países asiáticos de donde el arroz es originario y para los que constituye el alimento básico. En Europa el primero es Italia seguido de España. Son grandes centros arroceros en España: Sueca y sollana en la provincia de Valencia, Pego en
