Last Friday night, I felt the need to make cookies. And I had peanut butter and Hersey kisses…. So it was time for Peanut Butter Blossoms! And this recipe is so good. I highly recommend it. You can find the source here. I made just a couple minor changes.

I think it's time to add to the cookbook! This week, it's red and yellow bow ties!
I mean the pasta! Otherwise known as farfalle. Really, it can be made with any kind of pasta, but I think it's best with farfalle. So, boil the pasta according to directions. In a saucepan, simmer half a small onion, chopped in a tablespoon or so of oil. As you can see, I'm being very scientific about this – cover the bottom of the saucepan with a thin layer of oil and let the onion soften in it. Then add a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes and a 16 oz can of corn. Let simmer for a few minutes until warm – it'll be bubbling. Having drained the pasta, mix together with the onion-tomato-corn mix, and mix in about half a cup of Parmesan cheese. And serve! Seasoning with salt and pepper to taste of course. I can promise you will love this.
I missed Cookbook Tuesday! Ah well. No harm done, I'm sure.
The reason I missed was because classes started this week! AHHHHHHH!!! I'm actually feeling very calm about it. So far, my new mottos are:
I'm living in the on-campus apartments this year which, so far, is much, much preferable to living in the dorms. At least for me. I have my own room, my own space. I have a kitchen and a living room, and I'm not far from the academic buildings so the walk in the morning isn't long. But anyway, you're here for the recipe, aren't you! This week, I'd like to share a marinara recipe with you. It's very quick, and it has a bit of a bite to it. It's a feisty, smooth, thick marinara–– In a small saucepan, saute:
in a fourth cup of vegetable oil. This only takes a few minutes to get it nice and hot. If you don't want it "hot," leave out some of the red pepper flakes. Then pour and stir in a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes and simmer until it's hot through and through. And that's it! I think I got it from Barefeet in the Kitchen, but as you can see, I like it with a little spunk. It's super tasty, it isn't runny, and it's delicious. Take my word for it and try it. [Note: If you put in 2 TABLESPOONS of red pepper flakes, it will be too hot and angry to eat. I know from experience.] |
