Fettucine Carbonara with Roasted Tomatoes — Our Life In The Kitc

Fettucine Carbonara with Roasted Tomatoes — Our Life In The Kitc
I’ve been craving Carbonara for a while now but was having a hard time justifying the calories. The willpower was gone when I thought about throwing in some of the surplus cherry tomatoes from the garden. I also planned to make fresh homemade fettucine but I was too lazy busy to get around to it. Enter Plan B. Go to the store for fresh-ish Buitoni. Strike that. Fettucine, a pound of dry or a couple of boxes of fresh or your own homemade.Pancetta, 3/4 poundYellow or White Onion, 1 mediumGarlic, 5 or 6 clovesEggs, 3Cream, 1 1/2 cupsFreshly Grated Parmesan, 1 cupCoarse Ground Black PepperCherry Tomatoes, 2 dozen or so Put the water for the fettucine up to boil. Dice the pancetta. Rinse the tomatoes and spread them on a baking pan. Fry up the pancetta in a large saute pan. While the pancetta is cooking and the tomatoes are broiling, slice the onion and chop the garlic. Whisk together the eggs, cream and cheese. By now the pancetta should be getting crispy. Add the pancetta… ..and the tomatoes.

Enchilada Lasagna Ingridients: 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 1 lbs chicken breast, chopped to bite pieces 5 cups of mexican blend cheese 1 can of cream of celery 1 can of cream of chicken 1 1/2 cups sour cream 1/4 cup canned and chopped green chillies (drained) small corn tortillas 1 tsp cumin 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Brown chicken in a pan on 2 tbsp of oil. Prepare the dish you will assemble the lasagna in. Count on getting at least seconds, it really is that good! Quick update...and thanks to J + P for reminding me! Thank you Andrea!

Cheesy Garlic Potatoes The weather has been beautiful for the past two days here in New York! We went to the park yesterday and did some shopping, and all I had to wear was a sweater. Who would have thought? Not that I’m quite ready for it to get really warm yet, but I’ll stick with the high 50s for now. This is a recipe that I tweaked a bit from Gourmet magazine. It was a nice change from your typical roasted baby red potatoes. Your ingredients. Boil your potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Place the garlic in a small pot and add the olive oil. Remove the garlic from the oil and mash with a fork until as smooth as possible. Grate your cheese in a medium bowl. Combine the cheese with the garlic, mayonnaise, and basil. Hollow out the potato with a teaspoon, just enough to fill with the cheese mixture. Fill the potatoes with 2-3 teaspoons of the filling and sprinkle with paprika. Cheesy Garlic Potatoes Cook time: Total time: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water.

Farfalle with Tomato and Cheese Sauce Farfalle pasta is the best! Don’t you think? This kind of pasta has grown closest to my heart. For some reason it even tastes better than the other kinds. Yum! This time I’ve decided to prepare these lovely little bow-ties with a very simple tomato sauce. But there’s this thing I need to own up… I saw Feta cheese in the fridge and just couldn’t resist and had to add it to the sauce. The result? The cheese has given a unique tang to the sauce and it was all perfectly yummilicious! These are the ingredients that you need if you want to make your own Tomato-Feta Farfalle. 1. 2. 3. Cook for about 1 minute stirring constantly. 4. 5. 6. 7. I wonder, will I ever tire of this color? I don’t think so. The color of tomato sauce might actually be the reason why I fell in love with food photography. 8. 9. You’ll notice that the sauce has reduced in volume a little and has become more thick. 10. And serve. You can even sprinkle a little Parmesan on top. Enjoy, dear friends!

Stove-top Macaroni and Cheese | Evil Shenanigans - Baking & Cooking Blog Forget the boxes, the mixes, and don’t even think of waiting an hour for macaroni and cheese on a week night. I have the super-fast solution for homemade macaroni and cheese, and it is SO good. I have something of an addiction to macaroni and cheese. When I was a child I ate mac & cheese from the blue box at least once a week. My mom just did not always feel up to making homemade side dishes every night, and I never complained! The recipe I am about to share with you makes the creamiest macaroni and cheese I have ever made, and it is nearly as fast as making the stuff in the box. One thing I feel I must add is that you really should grate your cheese fresh. Also, if you are watching your figure, as so many of us are, you can use reduced-fat cheese (this you must grate yourself, reduced-fat ready-grated cheese will not work). Stove-top Macaroni and Cheese Author: Kelly Jaggers (Adapted from Cooks Illustrated) Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves: 6 Serve immediately.

Healthy Deep Fried Chicken recipe @Not Quite Nigella I have a bit of Southern in me. We've never done a family tree and to be honest if someone were to do one, there'd probably be some Russian in there rather than the South of America but my Southern fixation is known amongst my friends and readers. I love deep fried things, red velvet cake, the lilting Southern accent which I do often much to my friend's delight and my husband's eye rolling. I even baked Southern pies and cakes for a living so I know how to make a mean Pecan Pie. Bread and Butter Pudding, Pumpkin Pie and Cobbler (although I'm afraid I can't share those recipes with you as I promised I wouldn't). With the New Year came a few new pounds. The recipe combines crushed cornflakes with herbs, cheese and a tiny bit of oil to chicken wings or chicken pieces to help give that earth shattering crunch. So tell me Dear Reader, have you ever discovered any surprises in your family tree? Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line 2 baking trays with parchment.

PESTO PIZZA WITH ROASTED GARLIC & POTATOES Mention potatoes on pizza and you’ll get one of two responses. From the folks who’ve tried it, you can expect an enthusiastic thumbs up. From everyonce else: a resounding “huh?” That’s the thing about pizza with potato – it sounds strange, until you try it, and then you just get it. Tasting the ‘You Say Potato’ slice for the first time at Escape from New York Pizza on Haight Street in San Francisco was this moment for me. Still in high school at the time, far out pizza toppings went about far as bacon and clams as in my Dad’s favorite New Haven-style pie from Pepe’s in New Haven, Connecticut. Over a decade later, I finally got around to trying it at home. Inspired by the You Say Potato Slice at Escape from New York Pizza, San Francisco As the addition of potatoes are what really sets this pizza apart, it is important to make sure they are cooked and seasoned properly before they go on top of the pie. Place a pizza stone in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500°.
