Penne e Carote con Aglio e Olio (variation on a theme)
Tonight when I looked in my fridge for ingredients for dinner the pickings were slim. I’m abstaining from meat during Lent (I know, I know, you’re not supposed to talk about it) so this narrowed things considerably. My crisper drawer held one vegetable: carrots; I also had onions and garlic in the pantry. I hadContinue reading “Penne e Carote con Aglio e Olio (variation on a theme)”

Penne Fra Diavolo with Halibut
Pasta Fra Diavolo is one of my favorite pasta dishes…I love any type of pasta with tomato and seafood. Traditionally this is made with either shrimp or lobster, but I made it with halibut because that’s what I had at hand. The name, fra diavolo, translates from Italian as “brother devil,” and there are numerousContinue reading “Penne Fra Diavolo with Halibut”

Penne with Broccoli (Aglio e Olio)
This dish is one of my favorites and is really a variation on a theme. It’s basically a broccoli version (the one I cook most) of aglio e olio…or pasta with garlic (aglio) and oil (olio). To make this dish at home takes little time and will cost you pennies; to order this popular dishContinue reading “Penne with Broccoli (Aglio e Olio)”

Cheesy Goodness
I made a fancy version of macaroni-and-cheese for dinner tonight…with four cheeses (smoked cheddar, asiago, Parmesan, and Romano), Italian sausage (made with chicken), sweet bell pepper, whole wheat pasta, and a few peas that I had in my freezer (the broccoli pictured was cooked separately). This recipe is simply a guide…it can be altered toContinue reading “Cheesy Goodness”

Macaroni and Tomato Sauce with Peas and Turkey
This is incredibly easy to make…you can have it ready by the time the pasta boils (well…almost). And it’s as delicious as it looks.

Codfish "Meatballs" in Tomato Sauce
If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that my diet is the opposite of a low carb diet…my diet contains a lot of bread, rice, pizza, and pasta (whole or multi-grains, mostly). At any rate I had pasta for dinner tonight (again!), and topped it with codfish “meatballs.” I know thisContinue reading “Codfish "Meatballs" in Tomato Sauce”

Pork Ragu with Whole Wheat Penne (in pictures)
Like most pasta dishes this is one that can be almost infinitely improvised, but pork, tomato sauce, and pasta are one of my favorites. The ingredients can be interchanged to your liking. This is how I made it: I started with a couple heritage pork chops from the freezer (from T Meadow Farms), a yellowContinue reading “Pork Ragu with Whole Wheat Penne (in pictures)”

>Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)
>My gardens are not doing that well this year…partly because of the crazy wet summer we’ve had, but also because of my lack of weeding and trimming (not to mention what the rabbits and slugs have pilfered)…it really is out of control. At any rate, I am finally starting to get a few things, andContinue reading “>Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)”

The name, fra diavolo, translates from Italian as “brother devil.” There are numerous theories on it’s origin, but the two most common are that it was named after an Italian monk who “wentContinue reading “>Pasta Fra Diavolo (variation)”
