Easy and elegant, a perfect romantic dinner for mushroom lovers! The wild mushrooms can be anything you like.

Shrimp Ravioli With a Tomato Vodka Cream Sauce

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 09:14:29 -0500

I have been making these for years - ever since I moved to FL where shrimp is so affordable. They are light and creamy. Wonton wrappers make this easy to make and the creamy sauce is a quick 10 minutes on the stove. I often make these ahead and freeze ... then when I need them, just pop them in some boiling water, heat up my sauce, and dinner is ready. Serve with a traditional crisp salad (I happen to like a grilled romaine salad) and then of course some crusty garlic bread. A nice twist to the traditional cheese or beef ravioli. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Spaghetti Carbonara Ala Expat

unusual recipe with diced portabella mushrooms, green onions, red pepper flakes and bacon. i used 1% milk since i didn't have cream or half & half on hand and it worked great. in the interest of calories, I usually use the water i cooked the pasta with for the sauce anyways. **Note! I made this recipe using half a box of pasta since that's what I had on hand.** I made it with farfalle and it was great. I use a mix of the hard cheeses I have on hand-parmesan, pecorino, romano, etc. -- posted by Papagayita

Cider Sauteed Chicken over Pasta

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:41:19 -0500

This was a one-off experiment that needed to be remembered. Flavorful chicken breast, sweet onions, and tender pasta. It has all of the makings of a hearty, yet healthy meal for the family! The preferred pastas are either rotini or angel hair, as both tend to hold the delicate flavors of the sauce better. Read the recipe before cooking, as some steps are slightly out of order for ease of writing the recipe. -- posted by Obsidian468

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

Turkey Spinach Lasagna

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:17:09 -0500

This is an amalgamation of some different Cooking Light recipes using what I had on hand one evening, which turned out to be even better the next day. Best of all, you don't have to cook the lasagna noodles first! Feel free to adjust, such as replacing water with chicken broth, adding more ground turkey, using whole wheat noodles, etc. Also, I am a slow cook, so it may take less than 30 minutes for you to prep. (Warning: 9 WW pts per 1/8 of pan because I hate most fat-free versions of cheeses) -- posted by Squirrelette

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:59:33 -0500

I created this in an effort to emulate a dish we liked at a local Italian restaraunt. I think it's pretty similar, but would have to eat the restaraunt version again to be sure! Either way, my boyfriend loved it...he rated it an enthusiastic A-Plus!!

Easy Baked Ziti

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:26:17 -0500

As a grad student, I'm always looking for recipes that are quick, easy and relatively cheap, but taste great at the same time! I adapted this ziti dish from a number of recipes online after none of them were precisely what I wanted. I hope that you enjoy it too. The cheese is simply what I tend to keep in the fridge and therefore what I had to put the recipe together. It was a good combination, but you can substitute whatever you would like for it. Equally, you can leave out the ground beef if you'd like it to be vegetarian. I would perhaps substitute some mushrooms, spinach, etc. for it. -- posted by Chef #601730

This recipe was made for me by my Grandpa. Its my birthday meal every year and it couldn't be simpler to make. I don't like a lot of meat and I really HATE ricotta cheese so this is the perfect lasagna for me. We make it with jarred marinara sauce and to make it taste less like store bought try adding chopped green peppers and simmer it for about ten minutes prior to assembly. Enjoy!! -- posted by coffybean

Traditional Supreme Lasagna

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:33:22 -0500

This is a combination of many lasagna recipes. This version is our favorite and comes close to what I always think of as a true restaurant style lasagna. I like to cook my own noodles, but you can also use no bake lasagna noodles and just add a 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottled sauces. You can also substitute ground beef or chicken for the turkey. -- posted by Cooking CF

Quick Ravioli Soup

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:28:44 -0500

This easy soup also comes in a crockpot version. It was easy enough to make, and it tastes great, just like a soup version of classic ravioli with marinara. I feel good about the healthy ingredients and the relatively balanced meal it provides. It's a great option for a vegetarian meal, too. You can use other forms of stuffed pasta if you like; tortellini would also be good. Cook for about 3-4 minutes if you use a smaller pasta. -- posted by Porfavorcorona

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

Sarasota's Full Proof Traditional Lasagna

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 01:07:23 -0500

This is my favorite lasagna, and is always the one I go back to. It is "fairly" classic, but I enjoy the mix of turkey and sausage vs all beef or beef and sausage which can be a bit heavy to me. A nice mix of romano, parmesan and mozarella and some red peppers in the tomato sauce makes this just a bit unique. I have many different recipes, including ... a vegetarian lasagna, mushroom, spinach and kale, mexican, and seafood ... but this by far is my ultimate standby. I really call this my Classic Lasagna. This is what I do: Layers ... 1) meat sauce 2) noodles 3) meat sauce 4) ricotta mix 5) grated cheese 6) noodles 7) meat sauce 8) ricotta mix 9) grated cheese 10) noodles 11) meat sauce 12) grated cheese. FYI ... These feeds a crowd, but I love to make it and then keep 1 or 2 pieces out for the week and freeze the rest. This makes a great easy lunch or simple dinner -- posted by SarasotaCook

This is a PHENOMENAL recipe from Fine Cooking. I have made it for company and everyone raves over it. It's labor intensive but SO worth it. It either makes one huge pan or two smaller ones. I have found that making the ragu the night before makes the preparation a lot easier.

(2) I have always used either regular dried lasagna noodles or no-boil noodles. -- posted by CFRP

I always loved my mom's lasagna growing up, and when I got her recipe I was shocked to see how easy it is to make! Yay for me, I like it easy. (My husband likes it with his mom's spaghetti sauce. It's a great recipe and it's called "Lynda's Spaghetti Sauce") -- posted by April Wholikesitez

Creamy Spaghetti and Meatballs

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:05:36 -0500

I am always looking for new ways to serve spaghetti and this looked too good not to try. Use a spicy sauce if possible. Serve with a nice green salad and crusty bread. I used my own frozen meatballs and homemade sauce.You know how much your family will eat so change the sauce and pasta accoordingly. -- posted by bigbadbrenda

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

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

Best Ever Red & White Sauce Lasagna

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:04:10 -0500

This is the absolute best tasting lasagna I have ever had. The red sauce offers sweetness and the white sauce gives it a warm creaminess. I came up with this recipe for my sister who doesn't eat pork, but have made it many times with traditional pork Italian sausage. Either way its yummy, hearty and sure to impress. -- posted by Shamrockjulie
