Personal Note from Janine
I’m a total nerd!
In my free time, I’m all about cooking shows.
Yeah, I love watching Julia Childs, The Great British Baking Show, and Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.
These shows really get us fired up to step up our cooking skills on the weekends, whipping up some classic dishes like Beef Bourguignon and Duck Confit, and this weekend we’re tackling Coq Au Vin.
Speaking of future plans, we’re thinking of visiting either Italy, France, or Japan next summer. How’s that for an awesome mix of places to explore? Oh, and I’ve already told my husband that my top priority will be taking a few cooking classes while we’re there.
But, in the meantime, I’m watching all my shows and soaking in all the helpful cooking tips in front of the television!
Have a great weekend, my friends!
Cheers,
This Week’s Inspiration – Pan Pasta Recipes
This particular Spaghetti alla Nerano recipe is basically spaghetti with zucchini. It features zucchini slices delicately fried in oil, creating a flavorful base.
The zucchini is combined with a luscious sauce made of olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, and fresh basil, resulting in a delectable flavor combination!
This Creamy Shrimp Pasta Recipe with White Wine is the perfect combination of flavors and textures. I love how the creamy feta cheese sauce is paired with the sweet and briny shrimp, and the addition of tomato, basil, and chili pepper flakes really takes it to the next level.
And serving it all over penne pasta is just the perfect complement.
You’ll love this inexpensive and easy-to-make, Pesto Primavera recipe. It’s a fresh veggie pasta that’s bursting with yummy Italian flavors.
