Gnocchi ai funghi (Potato Gnocchi with Mushroom Cream Sauce) by Frank Fariello

The Romans out there will know that Thursdays in Rome (and perhaps in the rest of Italy) is gnocchi day. After ten years in Rome, I've gotten into the habit and in our house we still often eat gnocchi on Thursdays. In the Fall and Winter, I…

Tagliatelle with Radicchio and Speck by Carmelita

A tasty pasta dish that is so quick and simple to prepare! Speck is a very lightly smoked ham made in North East Italy - you can substitute pancetta if you can't get it.

Super easy, super quick and irresistible.

Creamy Broccoli, Chicken and Pasta by Salad Foodie

Here’s a variation of an earlier recipe using zucchini and ham I posted (see Useful Links below the recipe), only this time I tried a different meat and veggie, and tweaked the flavors a bit. It’s still low calorie and low fat and a nice casual family dinner. As a saucy one dish meal it’s a comfort food unto its own yet one far less…

Beef & Bacon Meatballs with Mushroom Pasta Sauce by Salad Foodie

Sometimes my food experiments go right and this one certainly did: an every day meatball kicked up a notch with bacon! Preparation time is reduced by using pre-sliced mushrooms and prepared sauce.

Basic Baked Spaghetti by Mary Shaldibina

Easy spaghetti baked in oven. Add ingredients you like such as mushrooms, onion, garlic, etc. or different types of cheese to make different tastes. I really loved this recipe, easy to make and tasty as lasagna.

Spinach Wonton Ravioli by Winelady Cooks

I was inspired by a recipe I saw in a magazine. Then I saw Giada on the FoodNetwork recently use wonton skins. Her tip to make sure there are no air pockets when sealing the ravioli made this recipe a success. I hope you will give it a try.

Canning Spaghetti Sauce by Jennifer

Love this spaghetti sauce! Mix a quart of spaghetti sauce with one can of tomato soup. We also add hamburger and a pint of carrots to the sauce before serving.

Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie

Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…

TAGLIONLINI PASTA WITH BARBARESCO WINE AND TRUFFLE by Cecelia Heer

I purchased a package of Tartufissima Barmarasco & Tartufo Pasta (Tagliolini pasta with Barbaresco Wine and Truffle) at a specialty Italian shop one day because it looked like an interesting alternative to the typical pastas that I normally use. And it was. Later, I learned that this is the first pasta with truffle ever produced in…

Taco stuffed lumaconi by Easy Cook - Laka kuharica

This delicious combination of Mexican flavors and Italian pasta will be loved by everyone.

Spaghetti with Baby Clams & Linguica by Bob Vincent

This is a tasty pasta dish. It is quick to make and will serve four nicely. I would have used linguine instead of spaghetti but didn't have any on hand. Chorizo or bacon could be substituted for the linguica. I served the pasta with a green salad. For a wine I chose a Rombauer 2012 Carneros Chardonnay. It worked well with the…
