Pasta E Fagioli (Pasta & Bean Soup)

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:38:42 -0400

Pasta e Fagioli, pasta fazool, or any way you want to say it! Regardless of how you pronounce it, this is a soup made with love. And, unlike so many others, this is not a copycat from any restaurant chains. I've made this rustic Italian soup a hearty dish by adding sausage. Served with a good Chianti and a fresh loaf of Italian bread, and you are ready to find some one's heart...by way of his or her stomach! :) -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Family Marinara

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:37:58 -0400

This is my own version of the family marinara recipe that we've been making for generations. I think the biggest difference between the different family members' recipes are the herbs we choose to flavor the sauce with, but the basic preparation is the same. Marinara is actually quite easy to make, and it goes wonderfully on any pasta, as well as chicken dishes, cutlets, or eggplant. It is also wonderful to eat when you are sick, since the onions and garlic are great antiseptics and the tomatoes are full of vitamin C! And finally, this sauce also freezes great. See note below. -- posted by Starrah

I have just pulled my head out of the avocado sand and discovered that I really like them. So, I have been experimenting with ways to use them in my diet. This was this morning's breakfast.

Roasted Tomato Black & Tan Soup

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:46:46 -0400

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), for "Awesome Soups with Brian Duffy" (Jan 24, 2006). Brian Duffy (http://www.chefduff.com) hosted the Food Network shows "Date Plate" and "Hot Trends 2005" and is executive chef at Shanachie, an Irish restaurant in Ambler, PA. This will make 3/4 gallon soup, enough for 12 8 oz servings. All I can tell you is that this is a lovely change from the usual tomato soup and has a richness (courtesy of the roasting) and a yeastiness (courtesy of the beer) that no other soup delivers. -- posted by Gandalf The White

It is a combination of a couple of recipes - need I say that chicken livers are a favorite of mine. :) A lot of the residents seem to like a little taste here and there - since they are high in iron etc. the good outweighs the bad!

Quick and Easy Vegan Tomato Soup

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:49:39 -0400

In my opinion, this tastes just like Campbell's, but without the dairy, gluten, and other nonsense. For the non-dairy milk, I used So Delicious brand coconut milk. This is a new product which you can find next to the refrigerated soy milk at your health-food store. It doesn't have a strong coconut flavor, but it does have a lot of good fat, which means it works really well in a recipe like this. You can also try soy milk, nut milk, etc. -- posted by Prose

Creamy Tomato Soup

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:45:19 -0400

Of all my recipes, this is one of the few dishes that is repeatedly requested by my family and friends. We usually serve this soup with a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches, and it's such a satisfying meal for a cold and chilly day. I have made the delectable soup using canned tomatoes as well as fresh tomatoes from our garden, and I cannot tell the difference between the two versions. The time calculated for this recipe is based on using canned tomatoes (which is how I usually make it since it's more convenient). But if you wish to use fresh tomatoes, please consider that it will be about 10-15 minutes more of preparation time. -- posted by NorthwestGal

This is a great recipe for a simple, thin crust pizza. It's from Jim Lahey (of no-knead bread fame) who now runs a popular NYC pizzeria called Co. The recipe was printed in New York Magazine (Jul 12, 2009). If you don't have a pizza stone, this works well in a cast iron skillet. The recipe requires very little time and effort but the dough must be started the day before. -- posted by blucoat

Easy Tomato, Red Onion, and Kalamata Olive Summer Salad

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:24 -0400

This refreshingly-light summer salad is my absolute favorite way to enjoy vine-ripened summer tomatoes. It's a quick and easy tummy-satisfying dish on a warm midday when the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove. The juicy tomatoes, sweet onions and rich-tasting Kalamatas are dressed simply with olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. If desired, add whatever other garden veggies you enjoy - our family loves cucumbers; or add a slice of feta and some sliced green peppers and you've got a Greek village salad! Don't forget the crusty Italian bread to mop up the tomato and vinaigrette juices. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

When it's much too hot to cook, don't. Chill out with a no-cook meal, and spend more time at the pool .... Not in the kitchen! Hummus is so much more than a dip for pita bread .... It makes a quick and tasty sandwich or wrap filler too. Don't save this sandwich just for the warm days of summer, the cool crispness makes it perfect anytime of the year! -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Don't be afraid to throw in some ground pork, cumin seeds, more or less eggs or tomatoes, etc. I will frequently drizzle sesame oil on top of the finished dish. -- posted by Mrs.R

Easy & Hearty Vegan Tomato Soup Chock Full O Veggies

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:25:02 -0400

Just because it's vegan doesn't mean it's tasteless! This soup is pretty rich and hearty, and it's a healthy meatless and animal-product-free version of the classic comfort food. It's a fun soup for the whole family, and your kids will LOVE it with grilled cheese sandwiches! I love my grilled cheese dipped in this soup. :) This is my very own recipe: my uncle is a professional chef and taught me how to cook in his massive kitchen but I can't do the insanely complex stuff he does. Thus while trying to find vegetarian and vegan recipes, I discovered this mixture by accident-- and have now perfected it instead of eating some overly salty Progresso crap. Other Notes: 1) This is the UPDATED recipe, the first one was kinda rough, I've perfected it now. 2) You can also use 1-2 bay leaves for extra kick but I usually don't keep them around. 3) Try it with some extra orzo or ditalini if you want to make a meal out of it! -- posted by the80srule

This is a spicy, hearty Georgian soup. It is traditionally made with meat, but I adapted a vegetarian version from a Georgian cookbook. It calls for the khmeli-suneli spice mix, of which there are as many varieties as there are cooks who make it themselves. The khmeli-suneli spice mix is available from Russian food stores, or can be mixed to your own taste.

Creamy Pasta With Tomato Confit & Fresh Goat Cheese

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:39:32 -0400

Recipe by Terrence Brenan. Brenan cooks this pasta risotto-style by stirring in rich chicken stock a ladelful at a time. As the pasta releases its starch, the dish becomes delicately milky. Instead of finishing the dish with a knob of butter he folds in fresh goat cheese, which turns creamy in the gentle heat. Here, Brenan uses a small tube-shaped pasta called ditalin, but any small cut works. From: Strategies for Cooking with Cheese, Pairing of the Day, F&W Magazine, Published October 2008. Wine Pairing: Jason Miller, wine director at Picholine, pairs this recipe with the 2006 Charles Joguet Cuvée Terroir, a Cabernet Franc from Chinon in Frances Loire Valley. When grown in Chinon, this red grape tends to have herbal, spicy notes that make it an ideal match for goat cheese as well as tomatoes. Another good Chinon to look for is the cherry-inflected 2006 Marc Brédif. -- posted by Manami

Easy Puttanesca Sauce

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:53:50 -0400

A lovely warming sauce; a good sinus-clearer; or just some proper traditional Italian cooking! This sauce announces itself at full volume, because of the chillies, but is also full of flavour. It is pantry food - a sauce that can be thrown together from ingredients you can keep in the cupboard for months at a time. This is the simplest recipe for it I have found, but is still delicious. When condensed down there may not seem to be much sauce, but you want to treat this like pesto - a small quantity swirled through lots of pasta, rather than drowning in sauce. If you try to split this only between two you may find it too rich. -- posted by Boo L

Grilled Tomato-Cheese Sandwiches

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:08:37 -0500

This is my recipe that was published in the January/February 2010 edition of Simple & Delicious magazine, a Taste of Home magazine. It was featured as a recipe in which you can make in 20 minutes or less. This goes well with "Recipe#403443". -- posted by Lainey6605

Quick Better Than Spaghetti Sauce (Marinara) (Vodka)

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:45:45 -0500

Mild Italian Sausage and Jar Pesto make this quick recipe tops. This sauce has the flavor and texture that I really enjoy and can't find in any jar sauces. Plus it's quick and easy. An easy variation on this recipe is to add a cup or so of half and half or heavy cream at the end to make a wonderful vodka cream sauce. -- posted by Jusmi71

Christmas Eve Baccala (Salt Cod With Potatoes & Tomatoes)

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:26:00 -0500

Traditionally, Italians dine on seven different fish and seafood dishes (symbolizing the seven sacraments) on Christmas Eve. (By the way, you don't have to wait for Christmas to make this wonderful dish.) This recipe is typical of the Calabrian region of Italy. Have plenty of crusty Italian bread available to scoop up the sauce. And, remember to buy your dried, salted cod (baccala) three days before cooking, so you can prepare it. Buono Natale!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Found this in Southern Living BBQ on Tour, April 2009 edition & tweaked it a bit! Use your favorite deli baked beans and coleslaw for a delicious easy meal that comes together in minutes. Serve with pickled okra, sliced jalapeños, caramelized onions, or freshly cracked pepper on top! Really delicious:) -- posted by Manami

Baked Pasta With Tofu Cheese (Vegan)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:57:16 -0500

More vegan comfort food! I modified this recipe from the Whole Foods Web site. In place of (or in addition to) the mushrooms try black olives, vegetarian pepperoni slices, bell peppers, artichoke hearts...whatever you wish. Works well with gluten-free pasta. Serve with salad and garlic bread. -- posted by Prose

Wheat-Free Pizza on Crackers

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:59:15 -0500

This was something tasty my husband cooked up for me as a surprise to go with soup! It's really tasty--the rye cracker is the perfect contrast to the rich tomato sauce and cheese. Plus, no wheat and no yeast in this! -- posted by Jainene

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:30:32 -0500

A complex and delicious stovetop chili casserole that I have developed over the years. I hope you will try it and enjoy it as much as my family and I do.

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:57:03 -0500

I don't think of this as vegetarian, but it is. It's just the way I make spaghetti sauce, no meat. I listed small amounts of salt and pepper so that they are included in the recipe, please adjust to your taste. -- posted by Sweetiebarbara

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:02:30 -0500

The addition of fennel seeds and bulb fennel in this ratatouille gives an extra Mediterranean flavor. It goes perfectly with grilled meat, especially lamb. It can also be served hot or at room temperature and also makes a great sauce when stirred into hot pasta. -- posted by English_Rose

Alabama Living Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:47 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local electric company magazine. We love hearty soups on the cold, damp days. This recipe fits the bill. Just place everything in the crock pot, go to work, come home to a wonderful soup. This makes a large crockpot of soup. For thicker soups you can use less broth, for thinner soups, use more. The cups measurement for the broth is up to your preference. -- posted by Jellyqueen
