I love the versatility of pasta. So many ways to serve it, and it appeals to a wide audience.

Lasagna is one of my favorite dinners, especially in the colder months. While lasagna tastes great and is a great meal to serve for a large family, it’s time consuming to put together.

I used to own a website called FamilyCorner.com. I started it in 1997 and sold it in 2007. During that 10 years I met some amazing people on the FC message boards.

Pasta with Garlic Roasted Broccoli

I’ve been making a lot of pasta without red sauce lately. I still like red sauce, but have grown pretty tired of the same old same old, so trying recipes with broth or olive oil based sauces has been wonderful.

Spaghetti with Pancetta & Broccoli

I had some broccoli in the fridge, and I always have pasta, so when I found the recipe for Linguine with Pancetta and Broccoli in my book, 250 True Italian Pasta Dishes, I had to make it.

This has been a favorite recipe of mine for a long time. I’m not a big casserole person, but I love baked ziti. It’s so easy to put together and it’s delicious.
