Mushroom Risotto

I made this mushroom risotto today, and it was seriously so good! I went to the store to grab some parmesan for it, but they were all out. So, I got pecorino instead.. and it took the risotto to a whole other level. It was insanely delicious!

Homemade Gnocchi

I’ve tested out a few different homemade gnocchi recipes and this one is by far the absolute best! I always get a bit worried and think the potatoes are too dry but the gnocchi turn out perfect every single time!

Creamy Mushroom Pasta

This mushroom pasta is to die for!!!! We used umami, shiitake, and baby Bella mushrooms and pappardelle pasta. My kids were as obsessed with it as I was. We will 100% make this again.

Steak and Potatoes with 5 Minute Chimichurri Sauce

I followed the recipe to the letter, and it came out perfect! The potatoes were nice and crispy, and I cooked the steak to medium-rare doneness. An effortless chimichurri sauce to make and tasty too! Thanks!

One Pot Lemon Chicken and Orzo

This was excellent. Made with 2% milk since I didn’t have cream, used spinach because I didn’t have kale, and quartered some baby Yukon gold potatoes since we had just had orzo the night before. Potatoes obviously take longer to cook than orzo, but it was delicious. The sauce is to die for.

-Karen

Homemade Pasta

I love this recipe! Made a double batch. I use the AP flour and 00 flour mixed. Great to have this fettuccini in the freezer. Rich and silky texture. I’m a trained chef and give it my stamp of approval. Thanks for the recipe!

-Paulette

Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce

Oh my goodness…how delicious is this?! I used my cast iron pan for both the salmon and the sauce. The salmon was beautiful – crispy on the outside and so moist inside. I doubled the sauce recipe and served it with Greek lemon rice. Restaurant worthy!

Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi

Absolutely delicious! I love that this recipe is quick to whip up, and can easily be changed also. We didn’t have kale, so I added a can of cannelini beans. Next time I’ll add some anchovies, some greenery, and use better wine. Whole family loved it!

-Hill

Honey Mustard Chicken Salad

The PERFECT summer dinner! The only change I made is I added some fresh mint in with the romaine. Everything was exactly the same, and it was excellent.

Italian Chopped Salad

This was delicious!! The recipe just happened to pop up in my email when I was trying to decide what to make for dinner tonight. I made it as written other than the radicchio because my grocery store was out. So much flavor!!! Served it with rolls and it made a great summer dinner.

Was lacking inspiration, found this wonderful recipe. What can I say, it was absolutely delicious and will be repeated. I think it would be a lovely dish to serve to visitors with sweet carrots and French beans. Thank you.

Spaghetti Carbonara

Fabulous, straightforward and show stopping. even more delicious if you take more time to caramelize thinly-sliced onions with the bacon, add sliced peppers mushrooms. I’ve made this twice, and it makes even more delicious leftovers.

-Nunya

Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce

This was something very new for my somewhat picky family – and everyone loved it. I used two different kinds of fresh ravioli from the store. The sage had the most interesting texture and was so good. The pecans were also a great addition. Made exactly as written and was quick/easy to make. Don’t be afraid to try this one!

-Amy

25

Creamy Sausage and Gnocchi

One of my favorite recipes of all time! And as a bonus one of the few 30 minute recipes that actually only take 30 minutes. Highly recommend using spicy turkey sausage, the gnocchi absorbed so much flavor and there was no grease to drain! Thank you for our new dinner staple! My 2 year old also devoured this, spice and all!!!

-Bubbles
