Pasta & Mushrooms

Pasta & Mushrooms

I love mushrooms! They are earthy and hearty and this dish is definitely all about the mushrooms. They really impart great flavor on the pasta here.

“Hot Mess” Lasagna

Ok so this thing looks like a hot mess, but I promise it tastes amazing. I was having one of those hot mess moments myself. I was rifling through the pantry and saw a box of lasagna. I make a heckava lasagna, but it is 

Spinach, Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Lasagna

I’ve been playing around with the idea for a meatless lasagna for awhile. I was undecided about what vegetables to use and exactly how I was going to get it work the way I wanted to. I was out to lunch the other day with 

Penne alla Vodka

So we’ve had a heckava week! A failed family camping trip ended with the flu. Sickness all around. We are finally on the mend (I think, I hope). In the midst of tissues and blurry vision, I remembered,

Broccoli Rabe, Sausage and Cannellini Beans with Orecchiete Pasta
