Whether you’re alone for the holidays and missing that home cooked meal or looking for a new stand out dish to bring this is the perfect recipe. The flavors of fall mixed in with the sweetness of the pumpkin pie mix equal a new twist on ordinary pasta. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

Sicilian Eggplant & Ricotta Pasta by John Spottiswood

This is yet another wonderful Italian recipe that I've adapted from Marcella Hazan's classic "Essentials of Italian Cooking". This one is good enough that my wife put a little smily face in the upper corner of the recipe and wrote "It's a keeper!". I think you'll feel the same way. We served this for friends with a wonderful citrus…

Caprese Pasta Salad by Lyndsey

Easy summer salad. Great side dish to take to picnics or bbq's.

Lemon-butter Linguini with Peppery Shirmp by John Spottiswood

It always surprises me when black pepper is used in such quantity that it makes a dish truly spicy, since we so often use it as a mild addititve. That's the case with this dish. The black pepper generates a welcome heat which is cut nicely by the lemony pasta. You'll enjoy this one! Adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light.

Pasta with Cauliflower and Anchovy Sauce by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful, mild flavored pasta we've adapted from Marcella Hazan. I know it sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but you should definitely try it. It's unlike any pasta you have likely eaten before, and it is quite tasty. We will definitely make it again. Serve with the roasted broccoli below for a nice…

Marvelous Mac 'n Cheese! by erin de martini

Great winter-time shrimp pasta dish with sun dried tomato and cream sauce (serves 4-6)

Southwestern Shell Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

Chop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal. Choose your heat level by amount of peppers, hot sauce and chilies you add. This yields a generous bowl and serves 12-14. Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too!

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.

Dreamy Linguini by Mary Joseph

I actually dreamt this recipe one night. I have very vivid and often lucid dreams and this isn't the first time something like this came to me in a dream. This is however, by FAR the best recipe that's come to me that way. I woke up, wrote it down and made it the next day and its *delicious*. Hope you enjoy it! P.S. Did you know…

Orzo Salad with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Feta by Michele Grason

This is my summer potluck go-to recipe! You can add pinenuts and fresh cherry tomatoes or you could just add the orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, feta and basil. It is so easy to make and it's even better the next day!

Pasta And Broccoli by Brett Ede

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!!
