Lamb and Feta Spaghetti and Meatballs

Lamb and Feta Spaghetti and Meatballs
After the success of our Mozzarella Stuffed Meatball Sliders, we wanted to stuff more cheese into meatballs. We decided feta in lamb meatballs was the perfect combination. We used the same basic recipe used for the meatballs in the sliders, just switching feta for mozzarella and ground lamb for beef. These meatballs weren't quite as exciting...

Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Tuna

Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Tuna
This meal, inspired by this recipe from Prevention magazine, is incredibly light and fresh. There are a lot of flavors, but they are simple and all go so well together. It's all about the ingredients and how they work off of each other. First, bring a pot of water to boil and cook approximately six ounces of pasta (serves two) until al dente....

Drunken Spaghetti

Drunken Spaghetti
Drunken spaghetti— spaghetti cooked in red wine. It's so simple. I can't believe we've never thought to try that on our own. After seeing this recipe and knowing we had Kalamata olives and capers in the fridge, I was sold. We had to try this recipe this week. This dish is so incredibly simple it's astounding. Cook the pasta until al dente,...

Avocado Pasta

Avocado Pasta
Given our love for guacamole, I think it's about time we added it, or something like it, to pasta. This recipe we created is reminiscent of guacamole (thanks to some fresh lime juice) dumped on a bunch of pasta except that it is a little lighter and a lot smoother. But it still has all of the refreshing avocado flavor whacking you in the head...

Seafood Lasagna

Seafood Lasagna
This lasagna recipe has sounded amazing to me for quite awhile now, but I could never bring myself to make it because it's drenched in Alfredo sauce— delicious but ridiculously unhealthy. Finally I took the time to search out a "healthy" Alfredo-like sauce recipe, which Dustin declared would be a disaster. But once again he had to trust me...

Tapenade Pasta

Tapenade Pasta
I don't know how many times I will have to eat this dish before I become sick of it, but truth be told I'm not so sure that will ever happen. This pasta, or a variation of it, has constantly been on our menu for the last several years, and we still devour it every single time. This love affair started one day when we decided to use homemade...

Tex-Mex Baked Pasta

Tex-Mex Baked Pasta
Baked pastas are the best kinds of dishes to serve when you have company. You can prepare the dish before the guests arrive, then just pop it in the oven when they arrive. You can still have a nice meal without having to cook while your guest are there and without having to perfectly time finishing the meal to coincide with their arrival, which...

Roasted Butternut Squash Penne

Roasted Butternut Squash Penne
Next time I want butternut squash in a dish, I swear I'm using canned. At least until we get better knifes. A good knife set will definitely be on our wedding registry. What we currently have is not working for me. It took me 40 minutes to peel and cut the squash we bought to make this pasta from How Sweet Eats. I was not a happy camper by the...

Savory Chocolate Linguine

Savory Chocolate Linguine
I've been intrigued by Pappardelle's Pasta's Dark Chocolate Linguine ever since we sampled it at our first visit to Pike's Place. It's a simple linguine subtly favored with chocolate. The recipe included in the packaging and most of the recipes I saw online were for dessert pastas, but I really wanted to turn the chocolate linguine into a savory...

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese with Amaretti Crumble

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese with Amaretti Crumble
When I saw this recipe on foodgawker from Closet Cooking, I knew this was something I would be making very soon. Not only does it include some of my favorite seasonal ingredients (I used a combination of pumpkin puree blended into the cheese mixture and butternut squash because I couldn't decide which I'd rather include), but it has an amaretti...
