Lemons and jalapeños combined with ricotta to make a pasta sauce sounded like a perfect pairing to me. I’ve had several people ask me ]how I come up with some of my recipes. A lot of times, it’s when I’m out for a walk. Last night, I came up with this recipe on the fly…

Mushroom Fettuccine
Saturday evening, Dennis and I attended a cooking date night class at Sur La Table. It was so much fun, we had the best time! Our good friend, Marie, attended with us, it was definitely a night to remember, lots of laughs and smiles. I love the classes Sur La Table offers and always learn…
Garlic Roasted Tomato Spaghetti with Crispy Parmesan Topping
I love nothing more on my spaghetti than chunky, slow roasted tomatoes that I roast with an entire head of garlic in some olive oil and seasonings. I used an entire head of garlic to ensure there was no lack of flavor in this dish. It paid off to peel and mince that entire head,…
Citrus Radicchio and Herb Spaghetti
As the weather gets warmer, it seems we shy away from enjoying pasta for dinner. I actually love pasta any time of the year, but when the weather is heating up, I prefer a pasta with a sauce that isn’t a red sauce. For this dish I sautéed two heads of radicchio in olive oil,…
Ground Pork Noodle Bowl
This Asian inspired noodle dish packs a great flavor. Recently, while paging through a magazine – or maybe it was spotting a magazine while walking past the magazine racks at a book store, I noticed a picture of a ground pork noodle bowl. That sounded so good to me, I decided to make my version…
Mediterranean Angel Hair Pasta
It’s always great to find things in your pantry in which you can pull together a dinner in a quick and easy way. The dinner I made last night was just that type of dinner. I had everything I needed, but the chicken (thawed, at least) so when I was at Trader Joe’s grabbing a…
Pasta with Ground Turkey, Carrot and Fennel
Are you looking for a pasta dinner that’s packed with flavor? This dish may be just the pasta for you if you like a lot of flavor and a pasta dish that packs a punch. I did add a good amount of red pepper flakes, which really added to the taste of the meat mixture….
Roasted Tomato and Garlic Penne Bake
Every December I host a dinner party for my three book clubs (one is actually just called “Social Club” now). I ask everyone to bring a new book and ornament for a fun gift exchange. I look forward to having all of my book loving friends together for this fun event each and every year….
Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage, Spinach and Rosemary Asiago over Yellow Lentil and Brown Rice Spaghetti
Dennis had his softball game Thursday night, which means he has a pb&j sandwich for dinner. Kylie was going on a dinner date. I was going to enjoy a pb&j with Dennis, but decided after having just a bowl of rice Chex for lunch and toast for breakfast, I was a little more hungry than…
Simple Spaghetti
It has been so warm in San Diego this summer. It’s so warm, you don’t even want to turn on the oven. So, when deciding what to make for dinner, I decided I’d cook a pot of angel hair pasta, which only takes 3-5 minutes. Instead of cooking a sauce, I decided to drizzle olive…
