Pasta Primavera is simply pasta with vegetables seasoned with some herbs; I like this pasta dish because I can add any vegetable ( not leafy ones although I sometimes add spinach ) I want or whatever is available to me; I like to add some meat too, like chicken breast fillet, to make it a [...]
Yes, finally I’ve made it..my homemade ravioli-olli yay! :) I’ve been meaning to try Tyler Florence’s ravioli dough recipe for the longest time and I was only able to make it recently. Tyler’s recipe is very simple and homecook- friendly, I have other ravioli recipes saved but this is the best one for me. It wasn’t really difficult to [...]
I love tomatoes. I like them on salad, as a base for pasta sauce and for sauteeing meat and veggies. Tomatoes are abundant in the market again, so I thought of making tomato confit. Confit is a process of preserving food by slowly cooking it in fats. Duck or goose are commonly used in making [...]
For quite some time now, I’ve been experimenting on making a healthier pasta sauce for my family, I am trying to considerably lessen our intake of high cholesterol, high fat products such as dairy. I’ve been unsuccessful with my yogurt sauce experiments and my family cannot take anymore, I just told them, at least it’s healthy, they were kind enough to [...]
Happy 2010 everyone! How time flies. My daughter is back to school and that officially makes the Holidays over for me.. I still feel a little lazy though, that’s the side effect of Holidays to me and too much baking, I was baking like crazy in December and it zapped all my energy.
For my first post [...]
Macaroni salad is my mother’s favorite, she makes it for both Christmas’ Noche Buena meal and on New Year’s Media Noche. She’s proud of her macaroni salad; I, personally am not a fan of this, I can only eat one or two bites just to please my mom…everyone thinks I’m odd for not liking it..for some reason [...]
Macaroni soup or simply sopas as we call it is perfect for cold rainy days like we had this weekend. My kids love this milky pasta soup and I made this especially for just the two of them. This soup is very hearty, it’s healthy and nutritious, it’s got everything in it - meat, veggies, [...]
This is my take on Giada’s classic baked rigatoni with bechamel sauce recipe. I added a twist on it to make it more healthy and rich in fiber.
We love baked pasta with bechamel sauce, it’s one of our family’s favorite and one that I often made before. I thought of tweaking this [...]
This dish is one of my favorite pasta dish to make because it is super easy, quick and really good, perfect for busy days when you barely have time to cook. It’s a spin-off of pizza Margherita, which is so called because of the 3 main and only toppings/ingredients: basil, tomatoes and mozarella which [...]
Can you possibly fall in love with a pasta? That’s close to what I felt (okay, that’s an exaggeration) when I first saw this uniquely shaped pasta, it’s called caserecce. It looks like mini scrolls, I knew instantly it would be perfect for my pesto sauce waiting at home in the fridge ( it was [...]
