Pasta e Fagioli

Pasta e Fagioli is a classic Italian soup made with pasta, beans, and vegetables. It is a hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. There are many different variations of Pasta e Fagioli, and in fact, I have three other Pasta e Fagioli recipes on this blog! This one has a creamy texture from puréeing a can of white Beans.

Tex-Mex Style Lasagna

I made this Tex-Mex Style Lasagna which is a great option if you're short on time and low on energy. It’s so easy to throw this together for a busy weeknight meal. It’s taco style ground beef, with corn, black beans layered with tortillas and cheese. It was a big hit with my family.

Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans

Marmite’s distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that Marmite is often used as a metaphor for something, or even someone, that is an acquired taste or polarizing. This Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans is absolutely delicious. The marmite adds a subtle umami flavor to the chicken and using the starchy bean liquid works perfectly in place of the starchy pasta water in a traditional cacio e pepe; it emulsifies perfectly with the parmesan to create a silky, glossy sauce.

Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili

This Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili is made with ground chicken, jalapeño peppers, corn, black beans, cream cheese, and a variety of spices. The chili can be cooked in either a pressure cooker or a slow cooker; I have given instructions for both.
The chili gets its heat from the jalapeño peppers, but you can adjust the spiciness to your liking by removing the seeds from the peppers or by adding more or fewer peppers. The cream cheese adds a richness and creaminess to the chili, and the spices give it a depth of flavor.
The chili can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped bacon, and additional jalapeños. It is also great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.

Creamy Lemon Garlic Butter Beans

Creamy Lemon Garlic Butter Beans is delicious as side dish or as an appetizer served with sliced toasted baguette for dipping. The combination of the creamy beans, the tangy lemon, and the garlicky butter is simply amazing. The original recipe, which is from Sur La Table, uses vegan butter and vegan cream cheese.

Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing

My birthday was a few days ago and I bought myself an air fryer. I've been on the fence about it for well over a year. Last night I experimented with a few recipes. This Artichoke Salad with Lemon Parmesan Dressing is made with air-fried artichoke hearts (you can also just roast them in the oven), shaved Brussels sprouts, white beans, celery, parsley, and a lemon Parmesan dressing. It's so flavorful and satisfying, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita

Ribollita is a Tuscan bread soup that is traditionally made from the previous day with stale bread and leftover vegetables. I made this Black-Eyed Pea Ribollita for New Year's eve. Eating black-eyed peas is meant to bring good luck for the year, and I think we could all use some. This soup is outstanding and I will be making it again. You can use any kind of beans, like cannellini beans, which are often used in Tuscan dishes.
