We’re in a mode right now. A simple, zero fuss mode. Are you there, too? Are we meeting there today? Good. I need dinners that are eight ingredients tops. If that. Between four and ten. Six and nine. No more than five. But reverse. This is exactly that. Loads of good flavor, but a flippin’ […]

Creamy Lemon Spaghetti with Pancetta
Giiiiiiiirl. I got your new favorite summer spaghetti right here. Complete dreamboat situation. Lemony, garlicky, creamy, crisped pancetta! It’s the type of pasta that feels like you’re in another country. But in reality you’re actually just shoveling it into your pie hole over the stove in pajamas after a hot day at the pool like […]
Pappardelle with Veggies and Herbs
Vegetarian! And one pan, baybuh. Okay I say vegetarian. It is if you sub in veggie stock for chicken stock. So no coming at me today, okay? This is really a tweak-your-own kind of situation. We have pasta, we have vegetables, we have aromatics, we have stock and cheese and garnishes. If I say “we […]
Tomato Anchovy Pasta
I originally called this Murder Pasta and I can’t decide if SEO would love it or send me to prison. And hey, listen! Don’t get weird about the anchovies. They are the IT factor of this recipe. If you don’t use them, you’re still a good person. If you cut down on them, you’re still […]
Rigatoni with Roasted Tomatoes, Arugula and Bacon
Let’s have pasta! But like, with bacon. (I felt the collective perk-up.) But listen, we’re also violently throwing in some arugula so it could really pass for a salad. Don’t quote me on that. This is one of those meals that falls under whatever theme I came up with at the beginning of the year. […]
Crispy Chicken with Curly Pasta and Fresh Tomatoes
It’s been a while since we’ve had a good ol’ chicken and pasta dish, hasn’t it? Well now’s the time. Okay remember how I talked about “throw-together” meals? This is not one of those. Ha! You COULD buy some fried chicken tenders at your grocery store and skip the frying all together. Then it would […]
Creamy Rosemary Chicken with Linguine
It just feels like a pasta day. Okay. Yes. I heard it, too. Every day feels like a pasta day. But! There’s something about (rosemary? haha) this RAIN today that oozes pasta in the face. The pasta’s not oozing in the face. The vibe is. Nothing is coming out right today. We need pasta is […]
Garlic Chicken Spaghetti
And I do mean garlic. Like, garlic garlic. Also, who doesn’t love chicken spaghetti? My grandmother used to make it with cream of mushroom soup all mixed in and grated cheddar on top and it was a dream. I think I have a versionof that on the blog actually! Let me look, hold on.One sec.Here […]
Pappardelle Pasta with Broccoli and Mushrooms
And it’s all in one skillet! Doesn’t that just put you in a good Tuesday mood? This is a fantastically simple vegetarian recipe, because I hear your cries. We’re snarfing mushrooms, broccoli gravel, plenty of carbs, a vibrant slap of lemon and a hit of butter, because we know what’s good for us. Let us […]
