That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…	8 votes 5 reviews 1 comment 33840 views

	Fried Pasta by kathy vegas So what do you do when you have too much leftover pasta? Fried pasta! Fried noodle cakes are popular in a number of cuisines, particularly in Asian cooking.

	Pasta with Butter and Parmesan Cheese by John Spottiswood I've been cooking this recipe for so long, and it is so simple, that I have often overlooked posting it. We had it with our grilled chicken this week, and finally I'm putting it online. Marcella Hazan says this method of cooking pasta has eclipsed all others as the favorite amongst Northern Italians. And I must say it's among the…	6 votes 4 reviews 3 comments 7333 views

We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish.	25 votes 9 reviews 6 comments 21183 views

I use two methods to make funghi trifolati, and both are equally easy:	3 votes 2 reviews 6438 views

	Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way.
