Pepper Steak Pasta or Steak Bomb Spaghetti
(Title varies depending on where you grew up. I’m sure there’s another name possible from another region, too)
This dinner was inspired by my teenage love for (what we called) pepper steak subs – beef cooked with peppers, onions, mushrooms, with some tomato in there too. My husband grew up in Texas calling them [...]
Chicken Tetrazinni
This is a great use for leftover chicken, onions, mushrooms, and pasta. Or if you really love it you can make it with all new ingredients too.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free recipe! It is also a wheat free, dairy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, [...]
Dairy Free Beef Stroganoff
My husband has fond memories of this dinner, growing up in a house where people could eat dairy. I don’t remember ever having it, but the idea of creamy food on top of noodles sounded good. And it was a different way of using the perpetually-on-sale ground beef. If you serve it [...]
Go Go Red Sauce Sausage Spaghetti
My menu for the week included a sausage lasagna – a new adaptation of my Creamy Lasagna. My plan was to make it with sausage slices & peppers & spinach, then cover it with my white sauce (for faux cheese). However, I ran out of both time and energy, and instead came up [...]
Crab and Avacado Pasta Salad
This doesn’t quite qualify as a recipe, but it’s a delicious lunch, and very quick and easy!
Ingredients:
1 can or similar equivalent lump crabmeat
1/2 package guacamole (I like the pressure sealed ones from Costco or Trader Joe’s) – or 1 fresh avacado, diced
cooked pasta
Put 1-2 servings worth of pasta in a largish bowl. Add guacamole [...]
Vegan Pasta Primavera
When I received a gift of farm-fresh produce as barter for jewelry, I knew I needed to make pasta primavera. I know that it is usually made in the spring, but many of the best veggies in New England are harvested in the late summer or early fall. Feel free to substitute whatever [...]
Shrimp Scampi
This is an adaptation of a South Beach Recipe. Our whole family loved it (even if some members insisted on dipping the shrimp in cocktail sauce…). We served it as an entree with 3 sides, but it would also taste great on pasta.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free recipe! It is [...]
Phat Thai (or Pad Thai)
This is a wonderfully quick dish. You need a large skillet or wok and a large serving platter or bowl and a cover for your serving dish. You also need to make sure you’ve done all your chopping in advance, as once you start cooking, things move very quickly. Phat Thai is [...]
Pasta in a Tomato-vodka-cream mushroom sauce
OMG this divine. It is so much more than the sum of its parts. YUM. We made this after a friend made this dairy & gluten-filled recipe and had her entire family raving about it. This is a keeper, and will be made again very, very soon.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free [...]
