Broccoli Rabe and Cauliflower Lasagna Roll Ups

Broccoli Rabe and Cauliflower Lasagna Roll Ups

Do you love lasagna, but never have the time to prepare it from scratch? Let me offer you a simple solution - lasagna roll ups. They take half the time, and are super fun to make! I love these vegetable-packed lasagna roll ups. I usually make a tray and then freeze half, or I’ll make a tray and we’ll continue to eat them all week because we never tire of them.

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

I am all for quick simple meals at the moment. It's a tricky time of year for one-pot meals though. No one wants to make a batch of chili or pot of soup when the weather is beginning to warm and we are all craving salads and fresh produce. I like this pasta salad recipe because it's filling with a relative hardiness, but also fulfills my needs for fresh veggies!

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

This recipe is extremely easy to make. You just need pasta, oil, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and seasoning. The taste is somewhat reminiscent of mac and cheese, but with a more elevated and sophisticated flavor profile. The recipe can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes, making it one of my favorite go-to meals.

Cheesy Vegetable Pasta Bake

Cheesy Vegetable Pasta Bake

This pasta is a mixture of my favorite winter vegetables - mushrooms, peppers, cauliflower, kale, and frozen corn. I use this combination in almost everything I make in the winter - quiche, scrambles, quesadillas. I combined my favorite vegetables, pasta, and two kinds of cheese. Topped with bread crumbs and baked until perfection!

Creamy Havarti Pasta with Mushrooms and Cauliflower

Creamy Havarti Pasta with Mushrooms and Cauliflower

The recipe that I am excited to share today is a creamy Roth Chipotle Havarti pasta with fried cauliflower, mushrooms, red pepper, and tomatoes. The kind folks at Roth Cheese sent me over some of their cheeses to try and I was particularly fond of their Chipotle Havarti.

Gnocchi with brown butter, sage, and chanterelles

Gnocchi with brown butter, sage, and chanterelles

This brown butter, sage, and chanterelle sauce is fairly easy to make. Beginning in September, chanterelles are really easy to find in the PNW, but I understand that they may not be that available in other parts. If this is the case for you, substituting any of your favorite mushrooms will work just as well.
