Pasta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

I am enamored with pasta, tomatoes and basil recipes and have tried out several. This one is from Cook's Country (April/May 2015) and indeed has robust tomato flavors by roasting them! See Useful Links below for an earlier posted and similar recipe that we liked well too.

Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti by Salad Foodie

Cheese-stuffed manicotti personifies comfort food anytime, but take it up a notch with a cheese four-some and Italian sausage and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This was inspired by a few pasta manufacturer web site recipes, but I added my own spin here and there and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Oh Mama-Mia, this…

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sweet and Sour Meatballs by Salad Foodie
