This is a re-post – although I made it for us just last week.
We’re rather fond of this dish…..
As I am ‘not feeling 100%’ as the Brit’s would say I decided to do an easy recipe.
Shrimp with a Greek flavor: tomatoes, dry or salt-cured black olives and finished with Feta cheese.
The feta I get is sheep’s … Continue reading.....
This is my answer to the much more decadent Fettuccini Alfredo and a variation on Spaghetti Carbonara.
Leeks are best in this, as they are mild, but you could substitute 2 onions, just sauté them until very tender and starting to brown.
The trick to this is to time the pasta so that it’s ready to drain when the leeks … Continue reading.....
Do you like Ramen?
Or just noodles of any sort?
I love noodles and pasta of every size, shape or nationality (including Ramen)
This is also a re-post, the original having been done years ago (as usual) but, as we have been eating a lot of meatballs lately I decided to do a short series of meatball posts.

The weather is cool, the morning are wet and foggy and mon mari is contemplating lighting a fire in the evening.
So that means I have only a short time to make all the summer foods I haven’t done yet.
I made Fried Green Tomatoes last night, this pasta with fresh … Continue reading.....
Shrimp with the flavors of the Mediterranean: tomatoes, peppers, Greek olives, and feta cheese on spaghetti
It made me happy..
As usual, make is as hot as you like but with all of these flavors, even mon mari was happy without any added heat.
Although he did note that we needed to make a run to the big Asian supermarket … Continue reading.....
This is one of those long-cooking dishes that I love doing during the winter. It’s not quite a stew and not quite a pasta.
I decided to make it for our dinner party.
We had Butternut Squash Soup to start, Mashed Potatoes, with the Corsican Beef, Chard Gratin, and simple Buttered Spaghetti Squash. That was followed by the cheese … Continue reading.....
