Homemade Pasta !

March 10, 2010

Jessica bought a pasta roller attachment for her KitchenAid! So obviously we both wanted to use it right away. It was great to have two people to feed the dough into the machine and catch it as it came out (and take pictures of the process!) but you can do it alone, too! The machine [...]

Spaghetti & Meat-and-Turkey-Balls

February 22, 2010

If you grew up in the Blanco household and it was a Monday night, you would know what you were having for dinner: spaghetti & meatballs, of course! Now, I don’t actually remember the last time all six of us actually sat down on a Monday night and ate spaghetti & meatballs, but I know [...]

Mini Shells with Mushrooms

February 18, 2010

I used to think I didn’t like mushrooms, but here I am posting yet another mushroom recipe. I’ll admit it, I hate raw mushrooms. But when cooked, they have an amazing flavor that goes really well with pasta. On my birthday I went for dinner and ordered a pasta with portobello mushroom sauce. It was [...]

“Meat” and Dairy Lasagna

January 24, 2010

When it comes to lasagna, we Kosher Foodies always have to make a choice: dairy or meat.

Butternut and Acorn Squash Mac & Cheese

November 2, 2009

The cold weather means it’s winter squash season, as you know. And everyone knows those are the best types of squash. I recently got my hands on an acorn and a butternut variety and didn’t know what to do with them. Soup? Roasted? Boring! After a long brainstorm, I thought to make macaroni and cheese: [...]

Baby Bello Lasagna Rollups

September 29, 2009

The Food Network website recommended that I try Ellie Krieger’s portobello lasagna rollups. These were very easy to make kosher – they are vegetarian, anyway. I didn’t use portobellos, just because they were kind of expensive. You can use any mushrooms, but I like the baby bellos, and they weren’t much more expensive than the [...]

Toasted Ravioli

September 9, 2009

As annoying as Rachael Ray is, a lot of her recipes are delicious and easy. After watching her make toasted ravioli, I decided to try it on my own, with a few tweaks. Rachael used fresh herbs and made a delicious looking roasted red pepper dipping sauce. I was pretty lazy and used only what [...]
