dried basil, dried oregano, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, San Marzano tomatoes

This quick and easy Pasta Sauce comes together in under 30 minutes yet tastes like it’s been simmering all day. The key ingredient are the canned San Marzano tomatoes, not at all difficult to find but should not be replaced by regular diced tomatoes. San Marzano are whole plum tomatoes with very few seeds that are renowned for their balanced flavor – rich tomato taste that is slightly sweet and less acidic.

Every so often I’m slapped with a dose of reality in the kitchen. For as much cooking as I/we do there remains an incredible gap in my culinary knowledge. I’m drawn to classic recipes and the history that surrounds them. Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of those recipes.

We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops.

cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, onion, parsley, red pepper flakes

This Chimichurri Sauce is bursting with fresh flavor. It added just the right pizzazz to our Shredded Pork Tacos. We chose fresh parsley and cilantro which we combined with garlic, onion, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper & olive oil and gave it all a whirl in the food processor.
