Springtime Herb Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes

June 21, 2013 By Lisa

Springtime Herb Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes This pasta dish is inspired by an episode of “The Chew” that featured a New York restaurant called Rosemary’s Restaurant.  This is a light, absolutely delicious dish that comes together in minutes; the pasta cooking is what takes the most amount of time.  My only request?  Please don’t try to substitute ...

Roasted Vegetable Pasta

April 26, 2013 By Lisa

Roasted Vegetable Pasta  This is the dinner we had for Good Friday, of course no meat!  The mushrooms in the pasta add a heartiness that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.  Roasting the vegetables adds a depth of flavour that is really unbelievable.  This is a lot of food but if you feel you need to serve something with it, serve; surprise, a ...

Teriyaki Pasta with Shrimp and Mushrooms

March 10, 2013 By Lisa

Teriyaki Pasta with Shrimp and Mushrooms I always (erroneously) thought that shrimp were bad for you.  In case you’re wondering; 1 pound of shrimp works out to 4 ounces per person, for 4 people.  This is a larger portion than the traditional 3 ounce serving of meat protein I recommend.  The 4 ounces of shrimp have fewer calories and more protein ...

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca

February 26, 2013 By Lisa

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca Literally translated as “whore’s spaghetti”.  This is a strong flavoured sauce that is absolutely incredible.  If you’ve never had anchovies before, please try it here; it gives a nutty depth of flavour that is not at all fishy. Serves 4 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 4 Cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp red chili ...

Summer Pasta

December 17, 2012 By Lisa

Summer Pasta Again, I can't stress enough how simple fresh ingredients make the most amazing food.  When I made this recipe I used fresh Ontario field tomatoes from the farmer's market but vine-ripened tomatoes would work well here as well. Serves 4 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 Medium sized onion, sliced in half moon 3 Cloves ...

Moroccan Fettuccine

December 15, 2012 By Lisa

Moroccan Fettuccine This is a healthier version of my favourite pasta dish that was served in a restaurant I used to work in.  Bill, the owner and chef was a great employer and an even better chef.  Haha, he refers to me as the crazy blonde girl!  His wife Tracy is the restaurant manager; they make a great team! Serves 4 to 6 1 tbsp extra ...

Fresh Pasta

November 13, 2012 By Lisa

Fresh Pasta This is an easy, fun way to experiment in the kitchen.  Making fresh pasta reminds me of playing with play dough when I was little.  It is possible to make pasta without a pasta machine but I highly recommend you invest in one.  They are relatively inexpensive (I paid $10) and easy to store; it doesn’t have to be fancy or top of the ...
