Sep 03, 10 Spaghetti al Cartoccio {Spaghetti in Parchment}

Posted by Paula in All Recipes, Pasta, Vegetarian

I don’t know too many people that don’t enjoy spaghetti. I mean what’s not to love after all? Long luscious noodles, that you can spin and twirl to your hearts content. And they can be topped with a plethora {I just love that word} of sauces. Tomato, cream, meat, cheese, wine, and the list goes on and on....

We’ve been in a seafood mood lately. I’m pretty much a happy girl anytime I’m having seafood. Mussels, shrimp, lobster, fish, crab {oh let me count the ways I love crab…king, snow, dungeness, blue, stone wow I’m thinking there’s going to be a crab recipe coming up very soon LOL} and...

Aug 27, 10 Gnocchi con Scampi {Gnocchi with Shrimp}

Posted by Paula in All Recipes, Seafood, Vegetarian

Gnocchi con Scampi. Shrimp and Gnocchi two things that make me HAPPY! What’s not to love, soft pillowy balls of potato goodness, kissed with a spicy tomato sauce and garnished with shrimp. Swoon! I must confess, I didn’t make my gnocchi from scratch this time *GASP* I know. You know I normally do, you’ll find...

For me, summer and strawberries go together and have for as long as I can remember. And something I always have each summer with strawberries is STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. Swoon. My Grandma made it. My Mamma made it and now that I finally coersed the recipe from her I can make it too. There’s just something about the light...

Aug 25, 10 Risotto al Latte {Milk Risotto}

Posted by Paula in All Recipes, Gluten Free, Vegetarian

VERY intrigued. I simply had to make this Risotto. There was no if and or but about it! My sweet friend Rachael sent me a cookbook for my...

Mozzarella in Carrozza {Fried Mozzarella Sandwiches}

Aug 23, 10 Mozzarella in Carrozza {Fried Mozzarella Sandwiches}

Posted by Paula in All Recipes, Sandwiches

Saying this is just a grilled ham and cheese doesn’t do it justice at all. Yes, it has cheese {ah-mazing ooey gooey fresh mozzarella cheese} and yes it has ham {glorious prosciutto} and yes there’s bread. But the magic is in the preparation and in the ingredients themselves. I had forgotten how much I loved these...
