Brett & Bart's favorite spaghetti by jeanne templeman

This is an old Italian recipe that I've been cooking for 30 years, and my boys and husband all love it. I got this from my good friend and extraordinary cook Jeannie Puente. The trick for the old Italian flavor is that you cook it for 2 days in a crockpot. I don't leave it on at night for safety. Delicious!

Caprese Pasta Salad by Lyndsey

Shrimp & Shell Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A light summer luncheon salad with a yogurt dill dressing. Serve as the main attraction or as a side dish. Substitute light sour cream for the yogurt if you wish, and/or tuna or chicken for the shrimp.

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Originally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over. Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter. The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed.

Grandmother’s Handkerchief & Sausage Soup (Fazzoletto di nonna e la zuppa di salsiccia) by Windle Grissett

A friend of mines mom was making pasta sheets, which I thought was to be for ravioli or manicotti crepes. Turns out she was making something I never heard of "grandmother's handkerchief". I decided to combine this with a soup recipe. Enjoy!!

Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie

Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way. Remember: Never store your fresh tomatoes in the refrigerator, the cold ruins their taste and texture. Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.

Spinach Basil Orzo by Mary Joseph

Spinach and Sausage Gnocchi by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and beautiful dish. We just served it for a normal weeknight meal, but the presentation is such that it would be good for entertaining. It's rich, so good to serve with a green salad with vinaigrette.

Slow Cooker Lasagne by Mary Jones Anderson

Grandma shared this recipe with Rebecca to begin her adventure in the kitchen, we are hoping for many more.

Sesame Noodle Salad by Karen

A cold noodle salad with homemade peanut sauce. Great dish to bring to a summer potluck. Hearty enough to be an entree, but really just a salad. For those who can not go without meat, 4 oz. of cooked chicken can always be added.

Pasta with Greens and Feta Cheese by Lindsey Ford

Simple, tasty recipe that the whole family will like. Instead of spinach, greens could include arugula, watercress or endive. For a more substantial meal, add shredded chicken.

Asian Noodle Sesame Salad by lhuffman

This salad served cold is a wonderful summer meal or side dish. I think it is best when prepared a day or two ahead of time so that the noodles have ample time to marinate and soak up all of the wonderful flavor.
