Bolognese Sauce

I love making Bolognese Sauce! Chopping the vegetables in a food processor makes this classic bolognese very fast and allows them to disintegrate and thicken the sauce, which helps coat the pasta.  You can also add some red wine to this sauce.

Frenched Green Beans Almondine

I love making Frenched Green Beans Almondine. If you don't have a green bean frencher, go get one! I actually think it's fun to use. These green beans are a lighter alternative to the classic green bean casserole for your holiday dinner.

Cassoulet with Turkey and Sausage

This Cassoulet with Turkey and Sausage is a rich, slow-cooked casserole originating in the south of France, containing meat, and white beans. The dish is named after its traditional cooking vessel, the cassole, a deep, round, earthenware pot with slanting sides. I made this to use up our leftover turkey. Instead of the bread crumbs on top, I put leftover stuffing.

Asparagus & Prosciutto Bundles

I love these Asparagus & Prosciutto Bundles, which are a side dish from Ina Garten's Make It Ahead cookbook. The only thing I did not do was to use truffle butter. I am not a fan of truffles.
