To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I do not recommend freezing Creamy Pesto Tortellini. Bring to a simmer, then begin to whisk in the heavy cream slowly until it is fully combined.
The result is an Italian-style pasta dish that practically screams summer. Mexican inspired ingredients with an Italian twist! How can you go wrong with taco seasoned ground beef stuffed into jumbo pasta shells smothered in enchilada sauce and cheese?
Puttanesca Pasta Nada
This beautiful Italian supper smartly turns grated zucchini, anchovies, garlic, and a splash of pasta water into a delightful sauce for gemelli . Finish the dish with finely grated, salty Pecorino Romano and chopped fresh mint for a final burst of flavor. If you can find bacon ends and pieces at the grocery store, they’re great for this recipe—the small pieces tend to have more fat, which equals more flavor. Of course, regular bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces works wonderfully, too. Either way, the result is a rich weeknight pasta dinner.
- Thanks to leeks, fennel, diced tomatoes, crushed red pepper, and dry sherry, this recipe for summer turns simple seafood into a bowl of delish.
- You might have to reduce the cooking time a bit, but that just makes this quick recipe even speedier.
- In my recipe, poached eggs nestle into a red pepper and tomato sauce that’s flecked with spinach and seasoned with harissa.
- Serve with sweet-potato chips and you’re good to go.
- Cast-iron works especially well, but for this recipe, any pan that can go into the oven will do.
You may not think of steak and potatoes as a traditionally “light” meal, but subbing in carrots cuts down on the carbs and still tastes incredible. A homemade chimichurri sauce brightens everything up for a dinner that will leave you satiated but not overly full. The recipes are easy to make, feature fridge staples, and add a little extra fun to an average Wednesday.
