Pasta Al Forno with Eggplant

Posted on December 2, 2012 by m&m

Baked pastas are so great because the flavors really get into the pasta and everything comes together. And it’s even better reheated the next day. This is a great vegetarian dinner too, because the eggplant is meaty and combined with a salad, it’s a perfect meal. Eggplant Pasta Al Forno 1 pound of short pasta, … Continue reading »

Mozzarella in Carrozza

Posted on May 26, 2012 by m&m

Mozzarella in carrozza is basically an Italian grilled cheese, or the Italian version of a croque monsieur without the ham. There are different variations on it, and it doesn’t usually have tomatoes but I like a little freshness in my sandwich. The cheese makes gooey, delicious strings as you bite into it, and the marinara … Continue reading »

Tuna Meatballs

Posted on January 10, 2012 by m&m

These were so good, that they might be the favorite meatballs around the apartment. In the New Year, we’re trying to be a little more healthy, and so….no red meat for a while…or at least as long as we can hold out.

It’s a little Italian like a chicken cacciatore, a little French with the vermouth and cream, definitely delicious. It ended up being my favorite dinner of the week.

Healthy Eggplant Parm

Posted on July 29, 2011 by m&m

After another farmer’s market excursion, I had eggplant, tomatoes, and basil to use. Normally, I would go with a pasta with that combo, but I thought I should be responsible after the pancake breakfast I had made. So, I created these stacks and had leftovers for a couple days that only got better. I had … Continue reading »
