This is a delicious and homey dish. A little bit like a mix between vegetable pot pie and a casserole, it’s perfect for when you’ve got the cold weather blues. You can use canned biscuits to speed it up too. I’d also suggest doubling the casserole part without the biscuits if you’re going to freeze it.
I found making tortellini much easier than ravioli so if you have given up on stuffed pasta due to ravioli I’d urge you to give it a second try with this recipe. I don’t have a pasta sheeter OR cutters OR even a pastry bag and I still found this recipe actually not too bad and I’ve made it a few times over. I made way too much filling the first time so I had to make multiple batches of pasta dough and it does get easier but tortellini does also take a good amount of time. I’ve found it takes me about 30 minutes to fill and fold about a pound and a half worth of pasta but your mileage may vary.
I had these great rolls in Denmark last year and I was yearned to eat them again. They’re fairly simple to make and they combine the great taste of sunflower seeds and grated carrots which isn’t something I would have thought to do on my own. They’re a nice hearty roll that could easily be a breakfast or a meal with a soup or salad as a side. Though I would suggest mixing the seeds and carrots in to the dough in a bowl as it gets quite sticky otherwise.
I absolutely love the texture of this creamy orzo with roasted vegetables. It’s got just enough cheese to produce that perfect soft, gooey mouthfeel of mac and cheese but it has enough vegetables to keep the flavor smokey and not just slip you in to a full on carb coma after eating it. It comes together in just a few minutes and there’s no second pan of sauce to wash so it makes a good weeknight meal.
This soup has a wonderful simplicity to it. Sometimes coconut in soup can be really cloyingly sweet of overwhelming but in this soup its nicely balanced with the soft flavor of rice and the heartiness of mushroom. Since this takes only a few minutes to come together it’s perfect for when you don’t feel well or on a cold night where you just want a warm dinner right away.
I really love this recipe because frying is just a bridge too far for me most days. I understand most people don’t fry because of health but for me it’s mostly just laziness so if you want the delicious taste of sweet and sour chicken but less work – this is the recipe for you.
When people want a quick dessert they reach for cookies but these doughnut holes can be made in just about 20 minutes and they’re sure to impress because who makes doughnuts these days?
This is one of those recipes that doesn’t seem like much but it takes mushrooms from a bland, boring food to the perfect topping for almost anything. I used this ragu smothered over the tops of popovers but it’d be great on polenta, over rice, and even as a pasta sauce.
When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. While the recipe is technically quite close to a scotch egg what it actually resembles much more closely is falafel stuffed with a boiled egg. The scotch eggs do not really end up tasting anything like your meaty scotch eggs but it is a great twist on falafel. Make sure you spice your chickpea mixture well as the flavor seems to get a little lost after frying.
I made a turnip gratin previously but I wasn’t in love with it but I think I’ve cracked the code this time. This potato gratin is so good it’s hard to stop eating! Layering the cheese and milk mixture is the most important part but also don’t cheap out and use poor quality cheese because the minimal nature of the ingredients means that basically there’s no where for flavors to hide.
