Creamy Fettuccine with Ham & Vegetables
My youngest never met a rich food she didn’t like, so it’s no surprise she has a major thing for fettuccine alfredo. She orders it whenever she’s given the chance, and she begs me to make it at home – but last time I checked, real alfredo has like, 12 tablespoons of butter and two cups of whipping cream. No thanks. As you’ve probably noticed by now, we’re the health conscious sort around here (cough), so we don’t do heavy whipping cream too often.

Penne with Sausage, Tomato, and Romano
Even though I’ve shoveled our front walk and patio three times in the past 48 hours, I know that spring is just around the corner. It’s gotta be, right? Only four short days ago the snow was all but gone, my girlies and their friends were riding bikes in the cul-de-sac, and picnicking on heart-shaped cupcakes on beach towels in the driveway. Now this! And say it ain’t so, John Mulan – but there’s more on the way?

Ravioli In Creamy Tomato Sauce
My apologies to anyone who’s taking a break from carbs (I see you rolling your eyes at me) – I certainly didn’t start off the week intending to hit y’all with two pasta dishes in a row. The sale ad made me do it…so carb-a-vores, rejoice! I promised to share this recipe with you as soon as fresh ravioli went on sale – and I do my best to keep my promises when it comes to dinner. You’ll (maybe) recall I made this marinara sauce a few weeks ago, in an attempt to rescue my withering basil before the first frost killed it off. I stashed a couple containers in my freezer, and today I’m making a dent in my saucy stash with this super quick, kid friendly ravioli.

Angel Hair Pasta with Crab & Prosciutto
The whole DamFam had a crazy Halloween weekend complete with all manner of merry-making. Now I’m plum wore out and have no problem admitting to you that it’s Monday and I’m glad. Yes, you heard me right — I said GLAD, and I’ll thank you not to look at me that way. A good time was had by all but it’s high time those clowns get themselves back to school and get some learnin’ done. The DamDog and I are exhausted.

Pasta with Turkey Pesto Meatballs
After Vince Condella called for some frosty evenings later on in the week, I decided it was time to start pulling the plug on my basil plants. Last year I pushed the envelope and ended up losing my entire crop to frost, and I had to (*gasp*) BUY pesto all winter. Not this year! No sir’ee Bob. I’m ON TOP of it!

Angel Hair Pasta with Broccoli & Fresh Herbs
I was looking for a quick, concise title for today’s post. I thought about “Fast, Cheap & Easy”, but I thought that would open the door for a deluge of smart-aleck jokes and racy remarks. And this is a family blog.

Penne In Country Ragu
I’m pleased as punch to report to you all that I hit it out of the park with this penne dish last night!
Maybe it was because steaming hot pasta sounded good to my girlies, who were frozen solid after playing outside for an hour or so. Maybe it was because my husband had eaten a light lunch and was extra hungry. Or, maybe it was because No Thank You Boy has been minding his p’s and q’s due to Santa’s impending visit.

Linguine with Clams and Fresh Herbs
Do you ever walk past a certain food item at the market and think, “what in the world would I do with that?” Is there an ingredient that you refuse to work with because it just plain frightens you? I think most cooks (home cooks, anyway) have a food or two that they’re afraid of tackling…in fact, maybe the title of this post should have been “Facing Your Fears in the Kitchen”!
