Linguine Carbonara

Posted on September 20, 2011 by m&m

Carbonara is THE go-to chef’s midnight snack because it’s so quick and easy. And of course, it’s delicious. It’s also a little bit dinner, a little bit breakfast due to the bacon and egg. It’s originally a dish from Rome, and they usually use Guanciale or Pancetta. The bacon here gives it a smokier flavor, … Continue reading »

Chicken with Porcini Mushrooms

Posted on September 13, 2011 by m&m

This was a quick weeknight recipe that I created to use what little was left in the pantry. 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. And with only boneless chicken breasts, it cooks really … Continue reading »

Risotto with Spinach, Lemon, and Bay Scallops

Posted on July 25, 2011 by m&m

Risotto is much easier to make than most people think. I sometimes even skip warming up the liquid, because it doesn’t make that much of a difference if I’m in a hurry. I recently was in Los Angeles and Colorado, and had trouble finding arborio rice in regular supermarkets. I’m hoping that was unusual because … Continue reading »

Spaghetti with Clams and Lobster

Posted on June 23, 2011 by m&m

I meant to make spaghetti with clams tonight, but they had lobster tails on sale at Whole Foods and I couldn’t resist. I sometimes add some pancetta or bacon to make it even tastier, but it was definitely not necessary with the lobster. Spaghetti with Clams and Lobster 1/2 box spaghetti 2 lobster tails 12 … Continue reading »

Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa

I usually put some sort of fruit in my quinoa (peaches, pineapple, mango, grapes, etc), so I thought I’d give it a try. Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa 1 cup quinoa 2 cups chicken stock 1/4 cup white wine 1 stalk rhubarb, chopped … Continue reading »

Linguine with Bacon, Peas and Mint 1/2 box linguine 3 strips bacon, chopped (or substitute pancetta, guanciale, or your preferred pork product…) 1 cups peas … Continue reading »
