Capellini in Bianco {Angel Hair Pasta with White Sauce}
Capellini {can also be called Capelli d’Angelo} in Bianco is a simple 10 minute meal that will satisfy you completely. Bianco means white and refers to the simple cheese sauce that coats this delicate pasta. Normally I prefer a spaghetti or linguine {which is probably why this is the first angel hair recipe on the site tee hee} but here it’s the perfect fit for this sauce.
Pollo alle Olive {Chicken with Olives}
Simple suppers are what I need right now. Someone in our family has an activity every day of the week. EVERY day of the week {that makes me tired just typing that}. Which makes getting dinner on the table a little challenging. Lucky for me, I like a challenge. 30 {ish} minute meals are a staple in our house for just that reason. This chicken with olives is a fantastic recipe for those busy nights.
Pomodori Ripieni di Riso {Tomatoes Stuffed with Rice}
I’m a big fan of making something new and creative out of leftovers. A take two meal if you will. This is one of those recipes. I use leftover rice or risotto and after infusing it just a bit with fresh herbs it’s then stuffed into beefy flavorful tomatoes. Simple and scrumptious with just about 10 minutes of prep time. And no worries if you want to make this but don’t have any leftover rice, just whip up a quick batch. This is a vegetarian version but you could easily “beef” it up with your favorite ground meat.
Paglia e Fieno {Straw and Hay Pasta}
Pasta makes me swoon. I could literally eat pasta every day and be a happy camper. And I wouldn’t get tired of it. I mean how could you tire of pasta? There are a zillion different possibilities. You have hundreds of pasta choices. Everything from long and lean cuts to short and sassy and everything in between. Then there is the SAUCE. The sauce is the make or breaker for me. Endless pairings possibilities, and that it what keeps me coming back to my beloved pasta time after time.
Roasted Tomato Pesto
Pestos can be pulled together so quickly and add so much flavor to a dish. I’ve been experimenting with different variations of pesto and came up with this oven roasted tomato pesto that besides oven roasted tomatoes also incorporates sun dried tomatoes. More tomato flavor than you can shake a stick at ; )
Spinach Pesto
We shared our SPAGHETTI AL PESTO last week where we featured a simple and scrumptious pasta dish made with the classic basil pesto. Now we’re continuing our pesto love fest with a variation on the classic basil pesto…Spinach Pesto!
Crema di Pomodoro {Cream of Tomato Soup}
It’s almost SOUP season. Are you ready? I am! I’ve decided to kick start the season with this rich and thick Cream of Tomato Soup. It’s made with the last of my fresh tomatoes from my garden {I used a combination of yellow and red tomatoes producing this gorgeous orange soup} and the secret ingredient – potatoes! That’s right potatoes. It thickens the soup and gives it an extra complexity. It will have your family wondering what it is about this soup that’s so rich and delicious ; )
Spaghetti al Pesto {Spaghetti with Pesto}
Pesto is one of my favorite condiments/sauces of all time. It’s so incredibly versatile and can be made with a variety of ingredients. Basil is the classic ingredient and is what we’ve used to make this incredibly flavor yet super simple spaghetti dish perfect for those busy nights. If you have a food processor {or blender} you can whip up a fresh batch of pesto in no time. If you don’t, don’t worry you can get your arm exercise in for the day and make it old school style.
