Pasta/Noodles Recipes
Pork, Spinach and Feta Ragu with Vodka Sauce
Out of habit, I make a lot of pasta. I have made hundreds of variations of this dish, with some sort of ground meat or sausage, some variation on vegetables, and sauce. Come to think of it, I could pretty easily write an entire cookbook full of them, changing the ingredients to accommodate the changes in season [...]
Savory Rhubarb Sauce with Crispy Braised Pork and Cold Noodles
I recently found some awesome looking rhubarb at a roadside farm in Concord, MA near my sister Elise’s house. I bought it with the thought that I didn’t just want to settle and make the standard ‘strawberry rhubarb’ desert that is delicious but oh so common. ‘There has to me more uses for this stuff [...]
Basil Pesto with Fennel, Brocolli and Wild Shrimp
Basil pesto, or Pesto alla Genovese as it’s known in Italy is my favorite pasta condiment. Perhaps it’s the combination of the Parmesan cheese and basil, but there’s something about this stuff that absolutely and totally comforting to me. Simple and delicious delivered in various vehicles, I still think it’s best kept simple on some [...]
Szechuan Spicy Sesame Noodles with Pickled Shallots
I used to make these noodles at a market I worked at in Brookline, MA after graduating from school a few years ago. They’re perhaps the perfect accompaniment to a roll of sushi, but of course are also great with some fish or protein of your choice. I decided to refresh my memory on the [...]
Linguine with Crab, Camelized Onions and Radicchio
Man, I love crab. Of course I badly miss the amazing Dungeness crab that you find in the Pacific Northwest. The sweetness of the Dungeness is truly awesome, especially with some sourdough bread…classic SF (if you’re there go to Acme). Here in New England, the best crab you can find that is fairly close to [...]
Tales from a Potluck: Oven Roasted Whole Stripped Bass, Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops and a Lot More
Our crew of friends loves food and loves to cook. A lot of what we do socially revolves around a meal of some sort, be it potlucks or restaurant club meetings. So with it being Taylor’s birthday this past Monday, he decided what better way to celebrate than a potluck with a bunch of good [...]
Pasta Melanzana with Roasted Red Peppers and Mascarpone Cheese
The scenario: It’s been a hell of a day. The weather is somewhere between snow and rain – not bad enough to warrant a snow day, but plenty dreary to make it hard to get out of bed. You spent too many hours at work. You feel like putting on your slippers and taking a nap on the couch rather than going to the grocery store, but you are in no position to drop forty bucks on take-out that will feed you once and will only only satisfy you until twenty minutes after you begin eating, at which point you know you will feel bloated and slightly guilty for overeating.
Braised Chicken with Eggplant, Served with Parmesan Orzo
Tonight was one of those nights when there wasn’t much in the house, it was raining all day, and I didn’t feel like venturing back out into the night to face the perils of the grocery store. I was rummaging through the pantry and I had, luckily, defrosted some chicken, and with only a few [...]
Spicy and Savory Eggplant Involtini
I don’t think there’s a person on earth who doesn’t like pasta wrapped around cheese. Especially when you put some savory and delicious homemade red sauce on top. This recipe substitutes eggplant for the pasta but works just as well and is a great use for a vegetable that sometimes gets overlooked in modern kitchens. [...]
French Ragout the Mushroom and Swiss Chard Way
Ragu or Ragout has long standing tradition in both Italian and French cuisine – though the term actually means different things in each culture. Italians have their regional Ragus; which for the most part imply a sauce including meats. Different yet similar varieties hail from the north and Bologna (Ragu Bolognese) and from the south [...]
