Orecchiette Pasta with Chicken in a Creamy Rosemary Lemon Sauce

Orecchiette Pasta with Chicken in a Creamy Rosemary Lemon Sauce
Last weekend I was craving pasta like a mad woman. Nothing else would have satisfied me other than a steaming hot plate of Italian noodles with some sort of creamy sauce poured all over and in it. So I headed over to Trader Joe's and began wandering around their dried pasta section when my eyes fell upon a package of orecchiette pasta. I'd never had orecchiette before, but always thought it'd be great for saucy pasta dishes since they're basically like little scoop-bowls. So I picked up a package, came home, and decided to make a creamy rosemary lemon sauce for it (one of my co-workers had brought in several dozens of lemons to work from their lemon tree and I had smuggled a few back home). Instead of using a heavy cream base for the sauce, I tried to make it healthier by using olive oil, 1% milk, and whisking in a tablespoon of flour. Congratulations Jessica! Ingredients: 3 Garlic Cloves, minced 1 Large Chicken Breast, cut into 1-inch cubes Juice from 1 Lemon 2/3 Cup Milk 1/4 Cup Olive Oil Related:  citrus chicken

Lemon Potato Chicken This is one of my favorite recipes that my mom makes back home. My parents grow their own Greek oregano and it just has such a wonderful and aromatic taste to it. I started growing an herb garden out on my patio here and believe it or not I got cilantro seedlings to sprout at the end of November! The weather here is wonderfully convenient for gardening, but at the cost of the loveliness of the fall season. In the photo I have a sprig of thyme on the right and oregano on the left. The thyme I had bought fresh at the store and couldn't use it all up so I just dried it in the window (waste not want not), while the dried oregano was given to me in a large satchel back in May from my parents. Ingredients: 2 Ibs Chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, drumsticks) 5 large Potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges Juice from 1 Lemon 2 Tbsp Thyme 2 Tbsp Oregano 1/2 cup Olive oil 1 Medium Onion, chopped into chunks Salt Pepper Water Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cencioni Pasta with Caramelized Shallots in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce As you may have been able to discern from my seasonal seed giveaways, I am addicted to gardening. I've tried my hand at growing many a vegetable, fruit, and flower, but up until very recently, never had I tried cultivating a fungi. I was always intrigued by the idea of growing them. My Theio Niko had a large mushroom-growing heap in his backyard that I remember being covered with mushrooms, and when I thought about how expensive many types of mushrooms can be when purchased from the store, growing them at home made a lot of sense. So now I've had a couple more harvests of mushrooms, and I couldn't be happier about my new fungi growing experience and fancy produce bundle. I used my mushrooms to make this rich little vegetarian pasta dish. *Note*: Makes about two servings. Ingredients: 1 Large Shallot, finely chopped 2 Cups Cencioni Pasta, dry 1 Cup Whole Milk 1 Cup Oyster Mushrooms, roughly chopped 1/2 Cup Asiago Cheese, finely grated 1/3 Cup Dry White Wine 3 Tablespoons Butter 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

delicious red pasta Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken We don’t go out to eat often. There’s nothing more I love than gaining a little cooking inspiration and having someone else whisk away the dishes. But, because my hubby (and sometimes, even I) thinks the food I make is just as good as the grub we get at restaurants, we tend to enjoy the majority of our meals at home. No complaints here – cooking is what makes my heart beat after all! But I could go for a break now and then. This roasted chicken is simply not helping my case… Not to mention – making this meal probably cost me a whole $8. The chicken turns out citrusy, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth good. You can also switch up the seasonings to a spicy mix and toss in lemons and limes instead of oranges. However you dish up this delicious meal, though, you’re gonna love it. It’s even better if you let it marinade in the olive oil mixture overnight! Once the chicken has baked, remove the pieces to a serving platter. Print Save Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil

Apple Sauce Mac & Cheese with Apple Sausage The weather here has been very back and forth lately. It was in the 80's this past weekend, with hail a few days before that, and today it's in the 50's and raining again. But I don't mind the weird weather so much because the brief high temperature managed to convince the tree in my backyard that it's spring, so it has now exploded with blossoms. The cold weather we were having up until this weekend set me into hot-cheesy mode, and I remembered how much I loved that dish and decided to try and recreate it here. Ingredients: 3/4 lb Pork, Turkey, or Chicken Apple Sausage, removed from casings 3 and 1/3 Cups Whole Milk 1 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce 12 Ounces Gruyere Cheese, grated, 1/2 cup of it set aside for garnish 8 Ounces Cheddar Cheese, grated 1/2 Cup Flour 6 Tablespoons Butter 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper 1/4 Teaspoon Salt Pinch of Cinnamon Pinch of Ground Cloves Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chicken and Bacon Casserole Recipe When you combine chicken and bacon into a casserole you have a quick and easy dinner for any night of the week. This casserole uses a combination of seasoned chicken, bacon, Monterey jack cheese, cream of chicken soup and rotini pasta. I was a little skeptical of this recipe because of the canned soup but the end result was delicious. The best part about this recipe is the flavor that the bacon creates throughout the dish. The chicken is cooked in the bacon grease and the bacon flavor cooks into the casserole while it is baking. Ingredients: 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 6 strips of bacon 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup 2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese 16 ounces spiral pasta 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper 2 teaspoons garlic powder Cooking Instructions:Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
