Meatless Mondays: Fettuccine with Peas and Asparagus

May 3, 2010

Here is a meatless yet satisfying dinner for Meatless Monday: This was the first time we’d ever cooked with fresh peas; we usually use the frozen variety.

When it comes to lasagna, we Kosher Foodies always have to make a choice: dairy or meat. Well, I bought some Morningstar Farms Meal Starters to use as meat, and so I could have “meat” and cheese together! Layers of pasta, tomato, meat, cheese, and vegetables made for a very heavy and delicious dinner, the [...]

Ribollita

January 11, 2010

I’ve been wanting to make this soup for a really long time, so when I saw that kale was showing up at the market, I added it to my menu. It takes a pretty long time to make, so I decided to make it on a Sunday and serve in on Monday. On Sunday morning [...]
