Marinara Sauce {with Fresh Tomatoes}
I have been on a Marinara Sauce kick these past couple of weeks. I call it a kick because I’m still a bit shocked that we are becoming quite the homesteaders. Well no we didn’t grow these tomatoes, but we did roast them, turn them into sauce and freeze them for the winter. That’s a long way from opening up a jar of our favorite sauce.

Italian White Bean Dip {with Homemade Pita Bread}
I have a treasured folder where I keep paper copies of recipes. Some jotted down on scratch paper, others torn from magazines, and lots printed from the pages of fellow bloggers I admire. This morning I found this Italian White Bean Dip recipe that I had torn from a Weight Watchers hand out….months ago. Time to revisit.

Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeño Alfredo Sauce}
Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeño Alfredo Sauce}. Indulgent. I know. I make no excuses and take full responsibility for my actions. Here’s how it happened. We are desperately trying to work down the chaos in our pantry and uncover the mysteries in our freezer. Our goal, by the time the Farmers Market opens this spring, we’ll have a clean canvas for recipe creation.

Traditional Alfredo Sauce
Traditional Alfredo Sauce. This luxurious sauce is most classically referred to in conjunction with Fettuccini Alfredo. We’ve incorporated it in our Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeno Sauce}. In that case we simply added finely diced jalapeno to the butter and sautéed for a few minutes before adding cream. It’s delicious.

Italian Bean Soup with Mini-Meatballs {Pasta e fagioli inspired}
Italian Bean Soup with Mini-Meatballs. I intentionally did not call this a recipe for Pasta e fagioli, although it was clearly my inspiration. Pasta e fagioli is traditionally a meatless dish, comprised of pasta and beans in a tomato base. When I did my standard recipe research I had a hard time avoiding the bazillion copycat recipes for Olive Garden’s Pasta e fagioli. We may be the only family I know who has not had a bowl of Olive Garden’s Pasta e fagioli. I’m sure it’s delicious but I chose not to compete with the masses.

Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms
Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms. When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite. But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal.
