Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola

This Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola reminds me of a dish from the Northen Italian region of Liguria. The classic is a dish I made a while ago called Croxetti with Potatoes, Green Beans & Pesto. It seems counter-intuitive to add potatoes to a pasta dish - starch on starch, but it does work.

Fettuccine with Chicken in Tequila Lime Cream Sauce

Yesterday, we were out for lunch and there was this pasta with tequila lime cream sauce. I did not order it, but it sounded so good that I came home and made it for dinner. Fettuccine with Chicken in Tequila Lime Cream Sauce is tequila-lime marinated chicken, creamy tangy lime-cream sauce which is perfect with pasta. It would also be delicious with salmon or shrimp.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

A cordon bleu is a dish of meat, usually chicken that is wrapped around cheese (or with cheese filling), then breaded and deep-fried. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easier version, that has bite-size pieces of chicken, ham, in a cheesy cream sauce and top with buttery panko breadcrumbs. You can make all in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I have included both methods.
