Everyday Food for Busy People
This tasted like something from a good restaurant. It can be made in the time it takes to boil water and cook the ravioli.
I found the Asiago cheese in the cheese case near the deli. It was the same price as Parmesan, which can be substituted if you can’t find it. The label states that Asiago has a “mild and nutty” flavor.
Oh, I’m detecting nuttiness.
Name that movie.
I’m pretty sure Remy and Gusteau would approve of this dish.

Sometimes limitations bring forth the best creations.
Recently, on a message board someone wanted to make stuffed shells. She wanted to use chicken, no red sauce, no spinach and no ricotta. She did have a jar of alfredo sauce. I don’t know what the woman ended up making, but this is what I suggested. It sounded so good, I decided to try it myself.
Chicken, broccoli and mozzarella cheese fill the shells which are covered with alfredo sauce and baked. Bonus -the recipe makes enough to put some in the freezer.

Oh, my merciful heavens! This was so very delicious.
Inspired by the grilled zucchini and a container of gorgonzola cheese, I quickly pulled this together for dinner one night. Five of us were home to eat and we all loved it. My oldest daughter worked late and came in after we had gone to bed. She scrounged in the fridge and found the leftovers. She said she ate some cold before she realized it was meant to be served hot, but it tasted good both ways.
I also used homemade seasoned salt in this dish. If you haven’t made any of it yet, please take a couple minutes to stir a batch together. Your taste buds will thank you.

There may not be anything original about this, but it’s one of my favorite summer suppers. And it only takes minutes to put together. My kids aren’t big fans of tomatoes, so for them I make a cheese pizza or use cooked sausage that I’ve frozen. Either way, everybody is happy and dinner is fast.
One of my favorite kind of recipes to create is pasta dishes. Coincidentally, I also love to eat pasta. This sauce has both Parmesan and Provolone cheeses along with fire roasted tomatoes. Ever since I tried fire roasted tomatoes a few months ago, they’ve been a staple in my pantry. They pack a bit more flavor than plain diced tomatoes.
The sauce may sound like it’s hard to make, but it comes together in about 15 minutes. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce with Two Cheeses
