Fettucine with tomato/chevre sauce – 17 August 2017
To use up more of the Laura Chenel chevre loaf I bought for a chard pizza awhile back, I decided to make this recipe, using fresh tomatoes (also wanting using) and sage from the back yard. I cooked up a … Continue reading

Trying out E’s jarred family pasta sauce – 7 August 2017
E tried out making a large batch of her family’s favorite spaghetti sauce – I think it contains both ground beef and ground pork, along with some sweet-flavored spices – and gave us a quart jar of it. I … Continue reading

Leftover nasturtium pasta; broccoli – 21 June 2017
When I was making this pasta yesterday I suggested to D that I just make enough for dinner, but he said no, make a whole half recipe and we can have leftovers. I reheated the pasta slowly in a covered … Continue reading

Penne with nasturtiums in a cheese/cream sauce; baby bok choi – 20 June 2017
This is a favorite recipe that we have at least once a year, while the volunteer nasturtiums are overrunning the yard. We’re a bit late this year, in fact, as they are already fading with the lack of rain (normal, … Continue reading

Ravioli with ricotta and spinach in sage butter sauce; zucchini – 5 June 2017
We bought ricotta for an experimental ravioli recipe in May, and had a pile of it left, as well as sage leaves in the fridge (from the same dinner, I think) and ancient “cut-leaf” spinach in the freezer. I pulled … Continue reading

Ricotta and prosciutto ravioli with sage-butter sauce; English peas – 26 May 2017
I used Paul Bertolli’s pasta recipe: 1 cup flour (I scant this) and 1 large egg. “Large” being a variable quantity, I usually add a bit of water to gather up the unwetted bits of flour. Knead, form into a … Continue reading

Spaghetti with defrosted fresh tomato sauce with new mushrooms and hard sausage – 5 May 2017

Bitty bit of fresh pasta with tomato/chevre sauce; asparagus with aioli – 3 May 2017
Still using up the Laura Chenel goat cheese we opened. Costco is now selling this in a terrible container – too large, and too vulnerable once opened. Bring back the 11-oz logs! But we make an attempt 🙂 I weighed … Continue reading

Spaghetti with mushrooms, pine nuts, and parsley – 23 April 2017
We puzzled over what to have when – forgetting I’d bought a poblano to use up the cream in a “poblano quiche” – and settled on D’s signature pasta, since we had both mushrooms and parsley wanting using. Mushrooms sauteed … Continue reading

Baked “quadrucci” with ham and prosciutto; green beans – 19 April 2017

Spaghetti with re-refurbished sauce – 9 April 2017
I didn’t get the sourdough recipe started yesterday (or today, for that matter) so no pizza tonight. With D and me doing our taxes and taking a workout walk (mild – D’s foot still hurts if he walks too fast) … Continue reading
Spaghetti with reinvigorated sauce – 6 April 2017

Fettucine with pea pods and mushrooms – 3 April 2017

Paccheri with mushrooms and boudin blanc; green beans – 14 January 2017
We needed to use up some white mushrooms, and I suggested trying my boudin blanc pasta with these instead of the usual eryngii and hen-of-the-woods (maitake). I had bought cream for [what turns out to be] tomorrow’s “poblano quiche” so … Continue reading
