Sausage Carbonara

Sausage Carbonara

Try this Sausage Carbonara when you don't have bacon. Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome, based on eggs, cheese (Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), bacon or pancetta, and black pepper. This recipe uses sausage instead of bacon. Spaghetti is usually used as the pasta, however, fettuccine, rigatoni, or bucatini can also be used. You can also throw in some frozen peas.

Potato, Pepper, Onion Frittata with Bacon & Parmesan

Potato, Pepper, Onion Frittata with Bacon & Parmesan makes a great breakfast or lunch. The great thing about making a frittata is that you can basically put any type of vegetables that you have on hand in it. Also, you can leave out the bacon to make it vegetarian, just use olive oil in the pan before sautéing. This can be served hot, warm or cold. It's also great for a picnic!

Delicata Squash Stuffed with Sausage, Sage, Shallots, White Beans & Parmesan

Delicata Squash Stuffed with Sausage, Sage, Shallots, White Beans & Parmesan

Delicata Squash Stuffed with Sausage, Sage, Shallots & White Beans is a great dinner. Having grown up in all four seasons, I always feel cheated living in Southern California. Over the long weekend, on our way back from the beach we stopped at a wonderful pumpkin patch. I usually buy acorn squash and make Acorn Squash with Sausage, Peas & Onions, but I decided to branch out and try the Delicata squash.

Roasted Broccoli Florets with Toasted Breadcrumb Gremolata

Roasted Broccoli Florets with Toasted Breadcrumb Gremolata is a traditional accompaniment to the Milanese braised veal shank dish osso buco alla. Broccoli seems to be the only vegetable that everyone in the family will eat. Because of this, I tend to make it a lot. I found this recipe in an old Bon Appetit. Of course, the use of lemon piqued my interest! Gremolata or gremolada is a chopped herb condiment typically made of lemon zest, garlic, and parsley.
