The Italians would be furious. ‘Why modify a perfectly good lasagne recipe?’, you posit as you read the recipe title. ‘Why mess with perfection?’, you ponder as you scroll through this post. ‘What were you hoping to achieve with this?’, you ask confusedly as the concept just doesn’t sit right with you.

20 Minute Date Night Tagliatelle and Pan-Fried Salmon
There is nothing sexier than a salmon steak sitting on a bed of pasta and that is that. Throw in a glass of Pinot Grigio and I am all yours honey. We could do without the family members crowding up my ~creative working space~ which also functions as a kitchen and living room area but…
Gruyère Spinach Tortellini Bake
In case you were wondering what I brought back from Switzerland, it was a bunch of cheese. Seriously, there’s a pound of Gruyère in my fridge. As I type this post, I have to restrict myself from running to the kitchen to sneak a bite. Naturally, I would want to dump it all on top…

I honestly feel uncomfortable calling a tomato a fruit, it just doesn’t feel right. If you’ve read my post on this simple spinach…
Butternut Squash & Kale Ravioli
Homemade pasta is one of the most irresistible things on this planet- hands down. And making homemade pasta is one of the most therapeutic activities on this planet. Don’t shoot me but I’d much rather spend an afternoon kneading soft pasta dough and rolling it out to the perfect thickness than at a loud music…
One Pot Browned Butter Short Rib Ragu
#hastalapasta I’m going through something that can only be described as a “Pasta Renaissance”. Or a Pastaissance if you please. I’m moving out of the dark ages, into the light known as a pile of hot spaghetti topped with savory meat sauce. You can say that my life is going pretty well right now. The…
