November 25: Leftover Meal Prep

Hihi, I’m starting to feel like a broken record here but I feel really bad that I don’t have more recipe content to share with you all. I have fully recovered from whatever throat infection I had and I’m back to eating regular foods. This week has just been all over the place which means…

Zucchini Blossom Pasta

My last post was a super summery tomato tart (check it out) and today’s recipe is another perfect summer dish. This was zucchini (blossom) pasta which was a great weeknight meal. I put blossom in brackets before because the recipe is supposed to have them, but unfortunately, I had to make do without them. Apparently,…

Basil Pesto Summer Pasta Salad

The first day of summer is tomorrow so the timing of this pasta salad is perfect. Pasta salad in general is just one of those classic summer dishes. It is so great for BBQs or even just weekly meal prep. This recipe specifically though, is so packed with goodness. There are lots of fresh and…

Broccoli Rabe Pasta

I don’t think I could ever get sick of pasta dishes. There are so many posts about pasta on my blog, the variety is almost endless. You can check them out here (pasta recipes). Today’s pasta is definitely one of the easier ones you could make. It is just broccoli rabe (but I used broccoli),…

Fried Capers (Served on Pasta)

Today’s recipe is actually going a little backward in the Brave New Meal book. The recipe is the Fried Capers which are part of the previous section (Soups & Salads) of the book. I had skipped it because, at the time, I wasn’t sure what to serve them with. But I made them now and…

Smoky Cabbage and Tomato Stew with Tortellini

Happy March 14 (aka Pi day). Normally, this day is meant to be celebrated with a slice of something like pizza or pie. But this year, even though it is not following the trend at all, I’m celebrating with some hot soup! This was a very chunky and hearty cabbage, tomato, and other vegetable soup…

Breakfast Spaghetti

The writers of this cookbook keep trying to change the game and they’ve done it with this recipe. This is breakfast spaghetti. Yes you read that right – spaghetti for breakfast. I think the thought process behind this recipe was that it would be pasta combined with some of the classic things that you would…

Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta

You know I love pasta, it’s such a great meal for any day of the week and you can go in so many different directions with it. Today’s pasta is super creamy made with goat cheese which is such a delicious ingredient. I love traditional cream sauces like an alfredo but making a roux can…

Cauliflower Alfredo

I love pasta alfredo. It usually isn’t the healthiest choice because the sauce classically contains a lot of heavy cream and butter. There are many healthier alternatives out there that are equally delicious. Two varieties that I have made are Cream Cheese Alfredo and Pasta Alfredo with Squash & Broccoli. Today I made a different…

Pasta with Pumpkin Marinara

Happy Friday! I am fully embracing the fall and hitting you with another fall recipe. This is pasta with a creamy pumpkin marinara sauce. I found this recipe on Cookie & Kate website (link here). The sauce recipe has the basis of a regular marinara by using onion, bell pepper, crushed tomato, garlic and oregano….
