Stewed macaroni is something I grew up eating, both at home and in the school (yes, we get hot lunch served every day in the Swedish school system). And I loved it! I can't say I eat it that often anymore, but when I do, I get so many childhood memories back in my mind. [...]
Pasta and sausage are most often served together with a rich and heavy tomato sauce. I wanted to do something different. I serve my pasta with a spicy sausage, where I have removed the casing, and together with tomatoes, spinach, a lot of parmesan and fresh sage. This delicious dish is really quick to prepare [...]
This pasta dish has many of my favorite ingredients; pesto made of pine nuts and basil, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs from my own baked bread and fresh thyme. It's both sounds and looks quite advanced, but it's so simple to prepare and ready in less than 45 minutes. Ingredients (4 pers.): 100g pesto, make your [...]
I love saffron and especially this time of the year. In the Scandinavian cuisine, saffron is mainly used as a Christmas spice. This dish is so easy and quick to prepare. I found some fresh Littleneck clams at my local fish market and decided to make a pasta with saffron and the clams. If you [...]
Pasta with pesto is something I ate a lot for lunch when I went to the university. It was an easy and quick way to get a delicious meal and have more time for studying. I can tell that I then often bought my pesto. But it's actually very easy to make yourself. Today I [...]
This time of the year, we have something in the Swedish forest that we see as golden gold. The chanterelles. It's not easy to find them, but when you do, you don't tell anyone and you enjoy eating every single chanterelle you get. 🙂 I know you can find them here in USA also, even [...]
If you like lasagna but would don't eat meat, go to my vegetarian lasagna recipe or seafood lasagna recipe. But if you want your lasagna with meat, stay where you are because this recipe gives you a really creamy classical lasagna. This recipe is for 6 to 8 people, but I normally freeze the left overs [...]
When I was a child, my bigger sister and I used to fight about who should prepare the Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner. She thought she made the best Bolognese and I thought I did the best one. My sister makes really good Bolognese, but today I don't think she would refuse my Bolognese. 🙂 Even [...]
One pot pasta is ideal for a casual family dinner. This is SO simple to prepare. Look at the  instructions below, it's so short text because it's so simple. 🙂 Again, you can use what ingredients you have at home or what you like most. I have done this recipe vegetarian, but you could add [...]
This vegetarian lasagna is a hit in our family. Like many other vegetarian dishes, you can vary what kind of vegetables you use in your lasagna but I can really recommend this recipe. I know Halloumi cheese is not the most common cheese in USA, so if you don't find it in your grocery store, [...]
