This recipe comes from mom. She's one of the best cooks I know and this recipe stands on its own. Very easy to make. Can be made vegetarian by omitting the meat and sauteeing vegetables in olive oil.
This is a fantastic spaghetti. I never, never order spaghetti when we dine out. I find it very bland, offering mostly tomato sauce with out much flavor. This is my wifes recipe and our family and friends...
There are two variations in this. The first is to add an 8 ounce can sliced mushrooms to step 1. The other variation is to use 2 tablespoons chili powderinstead of 2 teaspoons chili powder.
I have always loved ordering the Spaghetti with Mizithra cheese and Brown Butter from the Spaghetti Factory. This is how I make it at home! (Please read the directions before starting.)
A macho variation on an Italian classic ('aglio olio peperoncino'), this quick and easy dish is for folks who love powerful flavors and who have no social engagements for the evening - the garlic and anchovies...
Let me start off by saying that this dish breaks several rules when it comes to cooking pasta. First, the noodles are broken in half (yes, I realize this is considered a cardinal sin in Italy). THEN, after...
These are fantastic (and fantastically convenient) basic meatballs. I love the fact that I can get 4 batches of meatballs made all at once. When I cook them in spaghetti sauce, I normally serve half of...
The ground beef can be omitted if meatballs are to be used. I mentioned simmering for 1 hour but longer yields more flavor, I let sauce simmer for about 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
This bacon flavored pasta is smashing with the addition of arugula.Roasting the tomatoes enhances the texture and taste of the tomatoes. This is adapted from the restaurant "Aperto" in San Francisco.
A light version of a pasta favorite. Turkey bacon can be substituted for the ham. We love pepper in our family, but if 1 tsp sounds like a lot to you, just use an amount that suits your taste.
This is a wonderful recipe you can make ahead of time for company. I have made it numerous times and have always gotten positive comments. It is my son's favorite
This is for OAMC so it makes 2, 4 quart and 1, 2 quart casseroles. My family loves dark meat, that is why I used the thigh and leg but you can use white meat instead. A great comfort food and way to use...
This dish is excellent if you would like to invite someone very special for a romantic dinner. It's sweet, strong and mysterious... Try it and you will fall in love - I promise! Note the magic cloudberry...
A fantastic light and healthier pasta dish with zucchini that works very well as a balanced vegetarian main course. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
From Swansons e-newsletter. This is a healthy version of pasta primavera. I always use either Low Sodium Chicken Broth storebought or use broth I've made myself. I think otherwise the flavor gets too salty....
This recipe is from a 28 oz can Progresso Tomato Puree. It is by far the BEST bolognese sauce I have ever tasted. It is zesty, robust and meaty; the way bolognese should be. Great lasagna filling as well....
Found in an old Cooking Light magazine which was their cover recipe. I love a variety of pasta primavera dishes and this one has a nice twist with the fresh asparagus and green beans. I just loved the...
This makes a quick weeknight dinner with lots of flavor. You can also add mushrooms or leftover cooked chicken. Also, any kind of whole wheat pasta will work, spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine.
