The Best F%$&*n Lasagna
My lasagna never tasted as good as what you could get in a restaurant and often it was separatist (not politically: it didn’t meld together) and too wet. Normally when I cook I am all about creativity and playing with … Continue reading
Carbonara
I made this for my sweetie Friday night. He ran a Rock N’ Roll 10K (select 2012 and then type in his name to see pics) Saturday morning and requested this favorite in order to carb up. I used whole wheat … Continue reading
Mama’s Mac
I’m sorry but Kraft just doesn’t cut it. This kind of dish makes you happy it’s raining or snowing and you are bundled up inside. Or maybe it’s just a random Sunday and you’re watching five episodes of the Sopranos. … Continue reading
Nectarine Wrapped in Prosciutto with Pasta
The weather is getting warmer and spring is officially here. 85 degrees in Boston in March is a cause for celebration. I made this once last summer and to me it is the perfect dish for warm weather. For some … Continue reading
Myriad Pasta
With Christmas vacation travels and Nikki’s wedding fast approaching, it had been sometime since I cooked a good meal in my tiny apartment. However, hubby and I are back to the grind and I realized it was time to get … Continue reading
Linguine Carbonara
When they weren’t glaring at me because of my scandalous underwear in the laundry room, the nuns in Rome would feed me this. I learned to do my laundry elsewhere, but oh boy this dish would bring me back to … Continue reading
Earthy and Wholesome Pasta
I know this title probably sounds strange, but it’s all I could think of for this creation I gave birth to last night (too much?). Two nights ago we had a pasta dish, and me being the waste-not want-not person … Continue reading
Summer’s Cyclone Pasta
Before a horrendous food poisoning incident prior to a Bruce Springsteen concert, I used to occasionally frequent The Outback Steakhouse. They had this dish called Cyclone Pasta that was out of this world. It was probably my daily allotment of … Continue reading
American Chop Suey
About a year ago I was talking about cooking with my dad, when he casually mentioned his favorite meal was American Chop Suey. This completely caught me by surprise for 2 reasons: a) we hardly ever had American Chop Suey growing … Continue reading
Eggplant and Tomato Ziti with Mozzarella and Mint Garnish
It doesn’t happen often, but this past weekend my sister and I had the opportunity to cook dinner together in my kitchen. She’s visiting home for the weekend, and acting as Matron of Honor extraordinaire for me. She suggested a … Continue reading

I just wanted to quickly plug a new pasta sauce I tried and loved.
Spaghetti with cheesy broiled tomatoes
I made this a week ago for our pasta-themed Monday nights – delicious! This is definitely a recipe I will be using again. It also was my FIRST time using a broiler.
Hot Sausage and Pepper Medley Penne
For the past few months Future Hubby and myself have specifically dedicated Monday “Pasta Night.” It’s like having our own spaghetti and meatball night like when I was a kid. Except it is now on Monday.
Goat Cheese Fettuccine with Spinach and Onions
Goat Cheese. Either you love it (Dan) or you hate it (my Grandpa). Well no, that’s not quite true. I like goat cheese alright but it can also scare me a little bit.
