Making pasta and meatballs can be the easiest thing if you want a quick meal. You can buy pasta in a box, sauce in a jar, and meatballs from the freezer. But, as Italian mothers and fathers know very well, it definitely doesn’t have to be quick. If you make the pasta, and the sauce, and the...

I came across this recipe for a tofu, balsamic glaze, strawberries and pasta and just had to try it. It was delicious though we did need to make a few changes to the salad. My first was to use a spelt pasta that has a fantastic taste and texture. The second was to added onion powder to the...

While cooking is always fun for me, it is especially entertaining to start preparing the meal without a plan. I looked in the freezer for something to thaw for dinner and noticed I had three packages of Johnsonville hot Italian sausage. To cull the supply I brought one of them up to the...
