Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

 

Another recipe from the Feed the Teachers pasta bar at the kids’ school.  Several requests for this recipe, which can easily be made vegan.

Super Simple Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Basil Bolognese

 

This recipe couldn’t be easier!  I made this for a pasta bar we did to feed the teachers at my kids’ school, and several people requested the recipe.  SHHH!  Very little effort!

Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti

 

I LOOOVE spaghetti!

I could probably eat it at least three times a week.

I’ll eat it ANY way! Quick and easy from a jar (or can), from scratch, from a restaurant, or from any loving person that wants to make it for me. WINK WINK 

This is one of our favorite ways to eat spaghetti.

Before we were Gluten Free I made this with whole wheat pasta. Now I like to make this with a corn and rice blend. You can use 100% rice but I think it gets a little mushy. 

Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

I’ve never eaten Red Lobster’s shrimp scampi.  You should know that before you let me tell you this tastes like theirs.  Thing is, though, it’s so good, I don’t care if it tastes like theirs.  Maybe theirs ought to taste like this.

I made this recipe because I had found a long-lost bag of frozen shrimp in the nether regions of my freezer.  I figured “if I cook it in enough garlic, maybe it won’t be so bad.”  On the contrary, it was out of this world.  I can only imagine how good it would be with fresh shrimp!
