Pasta and Rice
A secret technique for brilliant pasta sauce? Save some starchy pasta water. Put a few splashes in with your sauce almost without exception: it makes oily pesto creamy, and keeps alfredo from becoming goopy. It’s the secret helper in this springtime pasta with lemon cream sauce.

I may be more than six weeks late to the National Macaroni and Cheese Month party, but every month is Macaroni and Cheese Month for this girl, so I’m still celebrating.

This pasta is one of my favorites adapted from Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats, combining three of my top winter foods: squash, pasta and mushrooms.

My first love of lasagna is for the “classic”: tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, meat. My food snobbishness has in fact progressed to the point that I won’t make lasagna without also making the noodles.* In my mind, it’s totally worth the effort: the taste and texture differences between dried and homemade noodles are profound.

I probably single-handedly kept Kraft in business from 1993-2000. I used to eat 3-4 boxes of orange-powder, blue-box “macis” (as I called them) each week. Ask my mom; ask my college roommates. It was obscene.

I had my first Daring Bakers outing last month, with the flourless chocolate cake white chocolate debacle. So this month, when I opened the challenge to find out it was homemade lasagna, I almost did a little dance with joy. An excuse to break out the pasta machine! A new lasagna recipe! Something I won’t [...]

Pasta and Rice
When the opportunity arose to prepare lasagna for my family’s day-after-Thanksgiving feast, I didn’t want to keep it easy and buy the noodles in a box.

Oh, how I’ve missed you… and this… and my kitchen! Forgive me for being absent the last month. I was a little busy with my new job and with moving at the same time. I got to enjoy the moving diet – you know, pizza, takeout, restaurants – for no fewer than 6 weeks! Thank [...]

It’s been cold and icy here in the ‘Burgh, which to me means just one thing: an excuse to eat cream sauce. I saw an episode of Barefoot Contessa in which Ina Garten makes a mushroom lasagna – for lunch! – and I’ve been ruminating on the bechamel-mushroom combination ever since. Plus, Presto Pasta Night [...]

Another post from my backlog… whoopsie… I’m a newbie-foodie: although I’ve enjoyed cooking since I was a child, this is the first summer of my obsession with fresh, seasonal cooking. My passion was born in the winter, of all times. I read books and cookbooks and recipes and websites in the dead of winter, became [...]
