Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:49:34 -0400

Orzo Salad With Cranberries & Pecans

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:21:17 -0400

From the Equal Exchange website, contributed by Brian Albert, Director of Finance for Equal Exchange, this salad is full of healthy goodness and a variety of textures and flavors. I haven't tried this yet, posted for safe keeping. I think this might be good with a raspberry vinegar as an option. NOTE: recipe states 1/2 box of orzo -- I'm assuming a 1-pound box, so 8 ounces would be half. Serving size is estimated. -- posted by FloridaNative

Garden Fresh Fettuccine

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:11:48 -0400

"Fresh garden vegetables make this a special dish that's quick, easy, and downright delicious. It costs about 88 cents per person." Made this a couple of days ago. I was really afraid one box of fettuccine wasn't going to be enough, but it turns out perfectly. I used my mandoline thing to julienne the zucchini. Everybody in my meat-loving family enjoyed this hearty, healthy vegetarian dish. Very filling. I also used a big (like 30 oz?) can of diced tomatoes, drained instead of fussing with fresh ones. I also used the Parmesan cheese out of the container, but it would be awesome with fresh! As always, you can adjust the garlic, cheese, and red pepper flakes to your tastes. You could also use green peppers instead of red if you like. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef Skie

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Classic Skillet or Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:16:32 -0500

This is just good 'ol mac and cheese- rich, creamy and satisfying. Any cheese you like can be put in there, and any shaped noodle will work (though I think elbows, penne and rotini work best). Whole milk makes a richer mac and cheese, but didn't miss it here (and dh only will drink whole milk!). This will serve 8 adults a main course, more if there are kids or as a side. -- posted by newmama

Pasta With Lentils

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:08:31 -0500

A couple of notes about this recipe. First of all, this is a recipe for one person. I know that doesn't seem true, but the 4 coups of water boil down really fast. Secondly, I usually soak my lentils beforehand because it makes them cook quicker. Third, I put "2 oz" of pasta, because that's usually the serving size for one person for pasta... sometimes it's 1/4 of a cup, and sometimes it's more. Just go with what the box says, or whatever you feel is good for you. Also, you can do it with rice instead of pasta if you so desire! It's equally as yummy! -- posted by michelle!

Jamie Oliver Mac N Cheese

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:02:17 -0500

Jamie: ''Mac 'n' cheese' is a classic American pasta dish - everyone loves it. Sometimes it's done so badly in the convenience area, it's almost become famous for being horrible, but when you do it properly, trust me, it's an absolute killer. Feel free to use any tubular pasta you want. I've made this dish my own by lightening it with sweet tomatoes and given it some crunch with delicious breadcrumbs. Just you wait till you try it! This dish isn't going to win any prizes in the nutrition department, but you can, and should, balance it with a nice salad. If you only have it once in a while as a special treat it'll do you no harm." Haven't tried it yet but it sounds so good so posted for safe keeping..

An easy and quick version of pasta so you can have some variety with the pasta! Finished with a salad, its a great, well-rounded meal! You can also add extra veggies and spices as you want (I like to add some garlic and red pepper flakes). You can also add cheese on top- I didn't so it would be lactose-free (although you can add goat cheese for lactose free as well!). I also suggest a smaller type of pasta, like shells, rotini, etc) -- posted by Chef #1294045

Boxing Day Festive Roast Pumpkin and Cheese Lasagne - Lasagna

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:27:54 -0500

Roasted pumpkin and creamy cheese lasagne (lasagna); a Boxing Day special - although I have made this for Christmas Eve too! This is a wonderful addition to the festive vegetarian table, but is ALSO hugely popular with meat eaters. This is my adapted version of Nigella Lawson's pumpkin lasagne; I have changed a few of the methods and added (as well as omitted) a few ingredients! Boxing day is the day after Christmas day, also called St Stephens Day the 26th December; it is a public holiday in the UK and most Commonwealth countries.generally a turkey curry day, or a turkey-free day, one of the two! Serve this with a large bowl of salad and some crusty bread for mopping up the delicious sauce. -- posted by French Tart

This is one of the first recipes I learned while away at college. Its a very simple side dish or main course. And great to take for a potluck dinner. This recipe freezes nicely and the leftovers are wonderful the next day. If you want, you can sauté onions in some butter and serve on the side. I would recommend using an 8x8 casserole dish and trimming the lasagna noodles to fit, but you can certainly use a 9x13; just add an extra sheet of lasagna to each layer. Enjoy!! -- posted by coffybean

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:54 -0500

A vegan adaptation of a Cantonese-American favorite. Not hard to make but takes some time to stuff the wontons. Serve the wontons in a mild, low sodium vegetable broth (chicken flavor if possible). You can double or triple the wontons recipe, lay them out on a cookie sheet, and freeze them, then bag them and take them out to make soup in small quantities. The frozen wontons only take 1 or 2 minutes longer to cook than the fresh. -- posted by Shazzypupp

Fettuccine With Spinach, Red Peppers and Smoked Cheese

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:42:08 -0500

this is a variation on a recipe I got from 'Simple Vegetarian Pleasures' you can combine all the ingredients into one bowl at the end but I don't like that the vegetables clump together so that one person gets spinach for supper and everyone else gets plain pasta. -- posted by sav_lee

Pasta Alla Cacio E Pepe

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:11:01 -0500

This is purported to be "the best quick meal" we've ever tasted, as per Yvonne Ruperti in Cook's Illustrated. There are two other recipes for cacio e pepe (pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper) on RecipeZaar, but this one adds at least one more ingredient to keep the cheese from turning into a big clump. Add cream. This recipe was reprinted as "recipe of the week" in The Week magazine. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Super Quick Tomato Basil Cream Pasta (Vegan!!)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:23:36 -0500

I made this tonight and it is super delicious!! I found this recipe on veganyumyum.com and here is her description: "When its summer, I cant get enough of recipes that use up fresh tomatoes and basil. But no matter what time of year, Im always down with quick recipes. You can make this sauce in the time it takes to boil the pasta. My whole wheat pasta cooks in 9 minutes, so this simple sauce makes a 9 minute summer meal thats hard to beat." -- posted by SPrins

Cold Sesame Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Dressing

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:59:53 -0500

This wonderful Asian noodle salad is from "Perfect Party Food" by Diane Phillips, who is known as the Do-Ahead Diva. I've attended cooking classes taught by Ms. Phillips and she is an awesome cook and instructor. I love the way she provides Do-Ahead tips throughout the recipe instructions. I have all her cookbooks, but in my humble opinion, Perfect Party Food (a James Beard Award winner) is her best. -- posted by Cookin'Diva
