    14 Valentine's Day Pasta Recipes

    January 31, 2023 by Lindsay 12 Comments

    The best Valentine's Day 2023 date night starts with pasta! Here are my favorite Valentine's Pasta Recipes to make at home. They're yummy, simple, and there's something for everyone on this list!

    Make them a meal with seriously easy chocolate mousse and some fake-out focaccia with cheese for a quick and easy appetizer.

    Are you celebrating Valentine's Day this week? Weekend? Ever? Never?

    We technically celebrate our dating anniversary on V-day, but after a gazillion years together we....I have no idea...anymore. Mainly because I travel a lot this time of year and two times we had a newborn at Valentine's Day, and while I'm cool with a dating anniversary and a wedding anniversary as an excuse to hang out, it's definitely nothing mandatory for us anymore.

    Easy Steak Pasta with Ricotta

    January 26, 2023 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    Delicious, simple steak and pasta with ricotta, lemon, and a delicious white wine sauce. This pasta is done in just half an hour or so and is delicious with seared ribeye or even as a use for leftover steak. Think: Lightened up steak pasta alfredo. Make it a full meal with crusty no-knead bread and a kale salad.

    large pan of steak and ricotta pasta.

    Can pasta be light if it has steak and ricotta on it?

    I think yes.

    This is REALLY cool and different.

    It's pasta, but without a sauce....more like...stuff tossed with pasta and white wine. It sounds weird but TRUST ME. Eggy steak tagliatelle pasta with creamy ricotta is a really really really good combination.

    Pasta with Sausage and Peppers

    July 20, 2022 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    Easy pasta with sausage and peppers in a creamy sauce. Delicious for a weeknight or weekend entertaining, this is a quick pasta recipe that everyone loves! To add on, a quick green salad and no-knead bread made earlier in the day are really nice.

    In college, I sang in an a cappella group.

    It was pretty cool, and now I work in a cappella. (cool in the eye of the beholder, obviously)

    ANYWAY, one of my group's friends from another school was from an Italian family, and he and his friends (correctly) thought that it was super cool and grown up to cook for singing folks that traveled to their college for concerts.

    And that is how I learned this somewhat untraditional, Italian-American twist on Pasta with Sausage and Peppers.

    2-Ingredient Pink Pasta Sauce

    March 23, 2022 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    The most delicious easy pink pasta sauce recipe! Just two ingredients make this creamy tomato sauce come together FAST (in the time it takes to boil noodles), and you can serve it plain or add anything you'd like to flavor it. Prepare for this to be your new favorite weeknight recipe!

    skillet with wooden spoon and parsley-topped pink pasta.

    Let's prepare for some pink pasta magic, shall we? Two ingredients, fifteen minutes, DINNER.

    This is one of those suuuuuuper kid-friendly dinner recipes that came out of necessity; I wasn't interested in making marinara or another more complicated pasta recipe, and we needed dinner asap. (thank you weeknight sports) Canned tomato sauce + heavy cream saves the day!

    Creamy Bacon and Mushroom Pasta

    December 30, 2021 by Lindsay 9 Comments

    A 10-ingredient pasta dinner that is done in about 30 minutes! This DELICIOUS creamy bacon pasta is so simple to make and has delicious seared mushrooms in a creamy bacon-laced tomato sauce. Delicious for a weeknight, weekend entertaining, or an easy holiday meal! I like this with an easy green salad and focaccia for dipping in extra sauce.

    close up top view bacon spaghetti.

    You know how bacon is good on, like, everything?

    It's true. Adding even just a little salty, crispy bacon to spaghetti with mushrooms is juuuuust the little nudge into winter dinners we need to get us through the next few cold weeks (or months depending on where you live!)

    I love this spaghetti, and I make it all the time. It's a really simple base of seared bacon bits (buy the thick cut kind if you can!), mushrooms browned in the bacon fat (hello), and a creamy tomato sauce that comes together really quickly. The sauce itself is done in just about the time it takes to boil water for pasta, giving us a 30-45 minutes to dinnertime situation.
