If you're short on time, this recipe is for you. Not because it's super quick, but because it makes enough food for two whole meals! You can enjoy some tonight and freeze the rest for later.
Today is National Noodle Day. While everyone is familiar with noodles and their many different forms from fettuccini to soba, I want to know how well you know classic noodle dishes.
Specifically can you identify the difference between an Italian pasta dish and a Chinese noodle dish?
Fall produce week continues, and today's featured ingredient is the beloved butternut squash. Although it has a thick skin, squash flesh roasts in a high-heat oven in less than 20 minutes.
Tossed with pasta, sage, and a creamy mascarpone sauce, this dish is decadent and delicious.
If you're in the mood for a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, but want something other than a traditional tomato sauce, I highly recommend this creamy
pesto dish! A tasty blend of bread and seasoning, the meatballs that dot the pasta are scrumptious with the perfect texture.Both the pesto and meatballs are simple to make, but do require time. The best thing about this recipe is it makes a lot, so save some for a later date.
No — that's a myth. The myth may have arisen from the fact that cold water does absorb heat faster than hot water.

Since it's easy to prepare and so versatile, I cook

I sampled three of
eight different sauces, all of which have kitschy titles named after family members.

This comforting version is made with turkey sausage and canned tomatoes.
I thought I was starting to get sick of pasta . . .
While I'm a huge fan of classic carbonara, I also enjoy a variation on theme like this pasta dish. A thick, creamy sauce is made with half and half, shallots, and frozen peas. Crisp bacon is a salty and scrumptious garnish to the simple yet sophisticated meal.
