When I made this Lentil and Sausage Soup, it was delightfully easy and its flavor impressive. Surprised by numerous recipes calling for “just throw everything in the pot” once the sausage browned; I struggled a little with not layering the flavors, skeptical of great taste with so little effort. Melding a few promising recipes into one, [...]

Grilled Sea Scallops With Pasta Rags and Homemade Pesto: Test Kitchen Tuesday
Each week as I review scores of recipes for Test Kitchen Tuesday, I am reminded of the endless possibilities in the culinary world—flavors, textures, temperatures, all waiting to be explored. Like any great adventure, disappointment and thrill are part of the risk and reward. Last week, the Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta was a disappointment. However, [...]
Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta: Test Kitchen Tuesday
This is one of those recipes I have had tucked away for a long time–anything with six cloves of garlic has promise, right. Pasta dishes are ideal for a quick weeknight meal, use Tinkyada brown rice pasta and it’s gluten-free too. Basil is at its peak right now, available at most farmers markets—I anticipate that [...]
Spaghetti Al Farouk: Test Kitchen Tuesday
Simple Italy is a blog that I follow (yes, it does feed my inner Italian) and when this recipe arrived in my inbox this morning, I instantly found inspiration for Test Kitchen Tuesday. I simply cannot wait to try this dish! It is no secret that we love Italian food, but Spaghetti Al Farouk is [...]
Green Beans Genova-Style: Test Kitchen Tuesday
Since the Veal Scaloppine Bolognese from Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy was so good last week, why not try another recipe from her cookbook this week. Green Beans Genova-Style sounds like an ideal side dish for grilled meats with its savory accents of anchovy, garlic, and lemon. Some folks avoid anchovies because of a [...]
Alfredo Sauce: A Classic Canvas
Butter, cream, cheese, are all part of this beloved classic sauce. The interpretations can vary widely, somewhere between bland and flat to overly salty and processed tasting due to fillers in place of real cream. I avoid ordering Alfredo in restaurants for that reason, never knowing which side of the spectrum to expect. I like [...]
Veal Scaloppine Bolognese: Test Kitchen Tuesday
One of my favorite things to do is share a coffee date with my husband at Barnes & Noble and peruse the latest cookbooks while sipping my caramel latte. On a recent java-rendezvous, I discovered Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy by Lidia Bastianich, and since hubby was paying attention for birthday ideas, it [...]
Caprese Salad: Thank a Water Buffalo
While visiting Italy a few years ago, we marveled at the flavors created by simple, quality ingredients. Caprese Salad was on our list of classic Italian food to savor; it was a memorable part of our trip. Traditionally served as a starter, or appetizer, it can also be a refreshing summertime lunch. With only a [...]
Spaghetti Bolognese: Ragù Magnifico!
Spaghetti Bolognese is not your average meat sauce; it is a sauce you can spend an afternoon falling in love with as its simmering aroma wafts through the house. I discovered Bolognese while watching Emeril Live years ago and spaghetti has never had a better companion. Over the years, this rich, meaty sauce has won [...]
