broccoli

Have you ever roasted broccoli in the oven before?  I just love any roasted vegetable in the oven, especially broccoli as when the broccoli roasts, it caramelizes and becomes sweetened!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

February 2, 2016 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

cauliflower pizza

Cauliflower has been the big “switch out” when it comes to eating healthy or gluten free.  I know I substituted cauliflower for potatoes for a dinner party recently and while I could taste the slight difference, it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t do it again.  Cauliflower pizza crust has been popping up on all my food sites for over a year now and I have been meaning to try it but it looked like a lot of work so I have been passing.  One year later and a detox motivated me to try a recipe for cauliflower pizza and I am glad that I did try it….

creamy tortellini

Sometimes we all need what I call a “stupid recipe”, something that you basically throw in a pan, the oven or crockpot and then you don’t think about it until dinner and it is amazing! This recipe for creamy tortellini is the perfect definition of a stupid recipe, it’s the perfect recipe for working moms and dads and children love it!

One Pot Chicken with Artichoke and Fettuccine

January 7, 2016 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Chicken wArtichokes

What a treat for you all…recently I was looking through old recipes and stumbled upon an oldie but a goodie, one pot chicken with artichokes and fettuccine.  I was given this recipe over 20 years ago, when I lived in Portland, Oregon and I made this chicken dish all the time, especially when I was entertaining.

Pasta with Eggplant

October 6, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

When was the last time you ate a great pasta dish or made pasta at home?  Seems like everyone I know is on a gluten free diet or change of life, excluding pasta all together.  That being said, I recently had some friend over and wanted to show them a super easy recipe for pasta with eggplant…I figured the eggplant made the dish sound a little healthier than other options and my friends were game for it so why not?

I used to make an eggplant pasta for the kids and I as it was always super easy to make and just forgot about it until family reminded me, here is how I made this recipe for pasta with eggplant.

I cut the eggplant into small pieces

Cut Eggplant

put the cut eggplant in a pan with a little oil

cut eggplant in pan

cut roma tomatoes

cut tomatoes

added them to my pan with my eggplant, added a little tomato paste as well

eggplanttomato

and while the pasta was cooking I let all the flavors cook together

added my pasta

mozerella

tossed and added some water from the pasta, then parmesan cheese

parm

yum!  it was done!!!

pasta

As you can see the sauce becomes creamy once I added the pasta water, leaving just the right balance of pasta, eggplant and cheese. I did use fresh mozzarella which makes all the difference, if you are using the hard mozzarella, I would use shredded as it will not melt the same way.  This pasta dish can be made in less than 30 minutes for those in a rush and it looks very impressive if I say so myself.
