Foodie Friday: Pasta and Pizza Recipes


Autumn and the arrival of cool weather is the perfect time to to heat up the kitchen with something saucy and sensational. I have a feeling  that "Mr. Shop This" will be looking for some Sunday sauce after reading this recipe roundup. I hope that you find something appetizing, too.


One Pot Spicy Alla Vodka Pizza Pasta
The perfect way to start. This dish is one part pizza and another part pasta. I am sure that it all adds up to deliciousness!

Fire Roasted Harvest Squash Pasta
The recipe author states that this sauce is "lose-your-mind " good. And I bet it is. With pumpkin, squash, fire roasted tomatoes, sage, allspice, and cream, how could it be bad?

Easy Spinach Artichoke Pizza
The recipe is a creamy cheesy spin on your favorite party dip. It's a white pizza lovers dream.

Creamy Salmon Pasta
A simple but impressive dish that is company worthy. Funny, I never thought of creating pasta with salmon. Sounds wonderful!

12 Inch Pizza Crust Recipe
Included in this recipe roundup because of the helpful hints. For example, did you realize that you should use bottled spring water when making dough? Click through to learn why,

Don Angie Pinwheel Lasagna
A deconstructed lasagna recipe from New York chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli. Click through to read all about this "Taste of New York."

Truffle Mushroom and Ricotta Pizza
Oh this is up my alley! Truffle oil elevates anything. This recipe combines Shiitake and Oyster mushrooms with ricotta and white truffle oil.  I will take a slice right now please.

Spaghetti alla Carbonara
They say this is how to make Carbonara the Italian way. I think I have been doing it wrong forever. One to try!
                           
Fully Loaded Deep Dish Pizza
My idea of a pizza pie! As you probably know, deep dish was first created in my hometown, Chicago. Must be why I love it so much. This recipe is perfection.

Linguine With Grilled Tuna, Capers and Parsley
This simple Mediterranean inspired dish features complex flavors. Every component is grilled. 

Pesto Pizza with Feta Stuffed Crust
This just might be the most exciting dish of the roundup. I thought the idea of stuffing the crust to be genius. I mean, can you ever have too much cheese? Pesto will take it up several notches.
Half Baked Harvest


Classic Italian Lasagna
Did you know that the original lasagna comes from Bologna, Italy? I did not. And it always featured a creamy bechamel sauce and meat ragu. My last effort at lasagna for company featured the bechamel. I will never make the dish without it again. The sauce elevates it to something very special.

Pasta with Grilled Eggplant, Smoky Tomato Sauce and Basil Walnut Pistou
~ Gluten Free ~
This dish is like a garden on your plate. It's  both earthy and healthy. The smoky tomato sauce sounds heavenly. If you no longer are grilling outdoors, grill that eggplant in a grill pan!

French Onion Pizza
If you love French Onion Soup as much as I do, this pizza is for you. I believe that caramelized onions make almost any dish better. These are cooked for an hour in butter with thyme, bay leaves, sherry wine, and beef stock. Oh my!

Bucatini Pasta with Burrata & Fried Breadcrumbs
Don't you just want a spoon for that burrata? This is an olive oil based sauce where the seasoning is key. I think it looks fabulous.

Pumpkin Sausage Sage Pizza
This recipe features some of my favorite fall ingredients. I bet it smells wonderful while it is baking. And that crust!!

Creamy Mushroom Pasta
An easy weeknight dinner that sounds delicious. It's a rich dish which features mushrooms, heavy cream and white wine. How lovely!

Foodie Friday: Spring Pasta Recipes

{ Via: Lucile's Kitchen }

As the weather warms up (some day) our eating habits tend to change. It's time to think about dishes that are light but satisfying. These 12 recipes feature tender noodles, the best of spring's veggies, and light zesty sauces.   Enjoy and Mangia!


Linguine with Lemon & Tomatoes
An elevated pasta recipe that's also simple.  The lemon brings on the bright spring flavor

Pesto Zoodles
The perfect recipe for the person who shys away from pasta, like myself. It's made with spiral zucchini "zoodles." Topped with homemade pesto which takes everything up a notch. Going to try this recipe soon.

Paccheri and Cheese with Peas and Mint
I always love a dish that can be presented so attractively. In this case, you bake the recipe in a springform pan. Brilliant!

Springtime Pasta With Blistered
Tomatoes and Eggs
Anything with an egg on top gets my attention. Under the egg you will find garlic sauteed mushrooms, crisp asparagus, and noodles swirled in olive oil.

Spring Pasta Salad
The stars of this salad are the sweet mangos, mandarins, and strawberries. Special enough for Mother's Day
 I would say.

Lemon Angel Hair Pasta
Cristina Ferrare's recipe looks just perfect to me.
The ingredient that really sells it is the truffle salt!
Buttery Spring Pea and Burrata Pasta with Prosciutto
This recipe had me at "burrata," my favorite cheese. Created with fresh green peas, watercress, and basil. These greens provide all the color and the flavor! Tieghan says it is easy, too.

Spring Risotto With Peas and Corn
Creamy and comforting, and ready in 30 minutes!

Spring Pasta Salad With Asparagus & Mushrooms
This recipe can be served at room temp or chilled. The dressing is zesty and 
oh so springy!
Feasting At Home

One Pot Pasta Primavera
Said to be lightening fast to make, this is springtime in a bowl! The bright colors have got to be healthy.

Carbonara Egg Nests
Beautiful breakfast or brunch dish, and easy to make, too. It's light and bakes in a muffin pan.
Dellalo

Fresh Homemade Pasta with Asparagus and Prosciutto
This dish looks next level to me. Truth is, who has time for from scratch pasta? If you do not, of course, store bought is fine. Or be like me and get fresh pasta at Eatily. The ingredients are perfect 
for Spring.
