Awesome dish to make for guests or any night of the week! This is a family favorite...my Grandma gave it to me (she said she got the recipe from an Emril show/cookbook). I made 3 lbs. of it and it was gone in 2 days! A great recipe to make if you have a bunch of veggies and odd ingredients lying around! *it seems time consuming but totally worth it in the end! -- posted by Chef #1385077

Mom's Goulash

My mother has been making this since I was a child (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth). She said us kids gave it the name "goulash" and she has no idea why. I brought some home from her house and my husband inhaled it, so I thought I'd post it here. -- posted by Oh!Susannah

Cincinnati Chili

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:27:50 -0400

A homemade variation on Skyline or Goldstar, the two most predominant brands of Cincinnati-style chili. There are multiple ways to enjoy this meaty, sweet/spicy chili and all of them are delicious. This recipe makes a lot of chili, but it is easy to freeze the leftovers for future meals. -- posted by ChefJulieS

Spaghetti, Roasted Asparagus, Beans With Lemon and Walnuts

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:29:50 -0400

Now, I know I have another lemon pasta dish with asparagus ... This isn't the same. Even though It is close, I consider this more a main dish where the other to me is more of a side dish with the mayonnaise and cheddar cheese as a dressing. This is a quick dinner with tons of flavor. No onions and sauce is creamy but still light with the lemon flavor. The roasted vegetables and baby arugula just make all the difference. I copied this from a restaurant I ate in Northern FL a few years ago and it was so good. Note: if you want you can down on the cream a little and add some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce. You could also use a lighter cream if you want. I usually start out with 1/2 cup, and then add a little more. But 1 cup is really which I think works best. This is a great light vegetarian dinner, but you could always top with some sliced chicken or serve it on the side. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Baked Cheesy Ham and Spaghetti Casserole

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:51:00 -0400

This is a favorite dish of mine for leftover ham. I like to use a mix of parmesan and white cheddar or you can use a monterey jack cheese if you prefer that, but it is just creamy and comforting. I love to bake a ham once a month. I cut it up and freeze and that way I always have a quick meal waiting to be put together. So many people only cook ham on holidays, but it is a great resource and inexpensive. Give this a try for a nice way to use your leftovers and good comfort food on a chilly night. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca With a Tweak

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:59:01 -0400

I found this recipe in an old edition of Guideposts magazine. After reading about "pasta puttanesca" in the first book of "A Series of Unfortunate Events", I had to try making it! I adjust the recipe by adding a small chopped onion, and (due to my husband's preference) far less garlic than it initially called for. I was also out of chili pepper, so I tried a few other seasonings. Due to a wheat allergy, I actually made 1/2 lb rice spaghetti and 1/2 lb regular spaghetti. It was fantastic and is now one of my top five favorite dishes. -- posted by Jainene

Basic Garlic and Oil Sauce for Perfect Pasta (Rachael Ray)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:11:53 -0400

If you like pasta, you're going to LOVE this recipe from Everyday With Rachael Ray's magazine (Oct '09). She has a "secret ingredient" that adds an unexpected zest to the ordinary ingredients: anchovies. She notes in her recipe that " even if you think you don't like anchovies, you should try this recipe--it'll change your mind." Further, she points out that "once you heat anchovies, they stop tasting like fish and start tasting more like salted nuts." So: try it, you'll like it! If you must, don't say anything to the diners--and ask them if they like it, before you reveal the "secret ingredient." -- posted by Debber

If you love calamari, you will LOVE this one! Light, flavorful and super delicious! I sub 1/2 and 1/2 for the cream and still love it as much! The original recipe was for 1/2 pound of pasta but I increase the pasta to 1 pound without increasing the other ingredients because my family doesn't like things as "saucy". If yours does, either 1/2 the pasta or double the sauce! -- posted by ChicagoRN

From Taste of Home Aug/Sept 2006. "This is a wonderful casserole for a potluck. Whenever I make it, people enjoy it, especially the men." Made for dinner tonight. It is delicious.

The Realtor's Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:01:13 -0500

This will blow you away. The first time you serve this, you'll be ok because they don't know how great it's going to be. The second time you serve this, you better put it on the table and get out of the way FAST cause they are going to knock you down trying to get to it. It's a recipe that I have developed through years of making it over and over and over. This is the best version I have been able to create. NOTE: This recipe is to be used with 1/2 pound of spaghetti. If you are using 1lb of spaghetti, double the recipe because there won't be enough sauce for a full pound. If you are doubling it, don't double the lemon juice or it'll be too tart, just bump it up to 3 Tbsp. and only bump the lemon pepper up to 3/4 tsp or it will be too salty for some people. MANGIA! -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Sarasota's Creamy Mussels over Pasta With Herb Bread

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:12:52 -0500

Easy and flavorful. A rich creamy broth which can be served over angel hair pasta and crusty bread slathered with a herb butter. Now you can make your own butter, however, you can also buy a stick of herb butter right from any major grocery store which is great to keep on hand. The mussels open in a light creamy broth with tons of flavor, served in a large bowl so the bread and pasta can soak up all the good sauce. A fair amount of ingredients, but nothing hard. This recipe is for 8, but you can easily cut it in half. -- posted by SarasotaCook

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

Pasta With Tuna, Spinach, and Red Pepper Flakes

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:03:52 -0500

The original recipe came from the San Francisco Chronicle. The original recipe calls for arugula (which I love) but it's hard to find sometimes, so I switched to fresh spinach. If you can find an Italian tonno in olive oil (Bumble Bee has one in the gold can which I can easily find), then it's worth the extra money to use. However, I have used tuna in water when it was all I had in the pantry. Just drain the water and add a little olive oil to the can, since this tuna is a bit drier than the Italian version. Let it marinate for about an hour, then drain it and use. Canned tuna has never tasted so good!!! I love this recipe for a quick dinner that I can throw together out of the pantry in less than 30 minutes, and DH was surprised how good it was when he first tasted it. This is a good base recipe to add extra goodies (sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichokes, black olives, capers, etc.). I look forward to reading your comments with your add ins :) -- posted by CharlieGal

Spaghetti Sauce

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:11:08 -0500

Again a recipe I grew up with. It is the only spaghetti my hubby will touch and works well as the sauce in lasagna. I think the original recipe called for onions and garlic cooked with the ground beef - but I never add them. You can also add mushrooms or other veggies to this for you veggie lovers out there. This sauce freezes well and can easily be doubled! -- posted by Pam 88

Lynda's Spaghetti Sauce

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:20:00 -0500

My husband married me on the condition that I never buy a jar of spaghetti sauce and that I ALWAYS use his mother's recipe. No complaints here! (I pretty much never let it simmer a full hour, so I can't tell you if it actually needs to simmer that long, but I think 20 minutes cooking time is plenty.) -- posted by April Wholikesitez

Spicy Sauteed Calamari over Pasta

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:31:11 -0500

I found this recipe on eastvillagekitchen.com and made it with my wife. It came out so good I had to add to my cookbook. If you like Fra Diavolo you'll love this! The version we just made was a little too spicy - I might try cutting down on the red pepper next time - but it was still really delicious. Great over pasta, or on its own as an appetizer (double the serving count for appetizer). -- posted by Chef Remy #186273

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

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Sarasota's Spinach and Onion Fried Spaghetti

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:43:26 -0500

Leftover pasta? ... this is a favorite. A box of frozen spinach, a little cheese and a perfect side dish. Serve this along a roast chicken, grilled steak and my favorite is a grilled ham steak. Very quick and easy. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79

Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Snap Peas, and Feta

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:51:49 -0500

A delicious pasta that I threw together using some of the leftovers from another very tasty dish: http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Breast-Stuffed-With-Feta-Cheese-Sundried-Tomato-and-Re-17962. My directions are not exactly precise since most of it is according to taste. However, if you have a little experiencing cooking, and taste everything as you go, this is really simple to make. The sweetness of the snap-peas go really well with the saltiness of the feta, and the sun-dried tomatoes meld it all together. Yum! -- posted by Chef #1413665
