Pasta is one of my go to meals. Nearly everyone loves it, you can create a variety of sauces, you can use it as a main or a side, and best of all – it is super quick.

This Chicken and Fettuccine with creamy basil sauce is not quite that quick but almost. The sauce is basically cream cheese, fresh basil, and a touch of garlic. Continue reading

When you roast things – and it doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about fruit, vegetables, or meat – the browning is caused by changes that bring out the sugars. Flavors intensify and sweeten.
When I saw this recipe in the August Bon Appetit I knew that I was going to make it. And I knew I was going to follow the recipe pretty much to the letter. I can’t really explain this, I have certainly tried, I can taste the flavors in the words I read. I know how basil tastes and I know how tomatoes taste and there is something in my head that creates the flavor when I put the two together in my mind. Then that little computer inside there runs a list of other flavors that coordinate – and that’s how I throw recipes together quickly. Continue reading
