Simple Soba w/broccoli

Posted by: Thursday on: June 11, 2009

Heat about a tbsp or so of sesame oil in a wok, then stir-fry some minced garlic and either fresh ginger or some powdered, until brown and fragrant.  Add broccoli and stir-fry until tender.  Add a bunch of chopped green onions and then two bands of soba.
Toss with soy sauce, rice vinegar and some more [...]

Linguine with Garlicky Clams

Posted by: Thursday on: July 2, 2008

Page 240 of the June 2007 Cooking Light, it originally called for peas, but I omitted those out of personal preference. I also probably doubled or tripled the garlic, doubled the red pepper, and used probably close to a full cup of reserved clam juice. Also the original called for fresh pasta, but [...]

Shrimp Caprese

Posted by: Thursday on: April 27, 2008

Pasta with Morel Mushroom Sauce

Page 94 from the April 2008 issue of Cooking Light.  The original called for homemade pasta, but barring this, we just used penne.  The only other modification was a whole can of tomato paste and instead of pure truffle oil, we used truffle infused extra virgin olive oil.  I can only imagine it was maybe [...]

Stovetop Sausage Mac & Cheese

Posted by: Thursday on: April 1, 2008

From the April 2007 issue of Cooking Light.  Like usual, this got modified a few ways.  For starters we doubled it in order to have leftovers.  Cheddar and Jack cheese was replaced by a standard Mexican cheese blend, and it called for Gerhard’s type sausage (which is pre-cooked, brat-style with different things like chicken and [...]
