I have a number of simple, fast pasta dishes, in my bag of tricks, but it probably doesn’t get any simpler than store bought ravioli and a 4 ingredient sauce that takes about 8 minutes to make. Impossible you say? 12 minutes to an elegant, tasty dinner on the table? I say Yes You Can ;-)...and I'll show you how to do it in this recipe video. The main key is to use store bought ravioli, and
Shrimp are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. The mild flavor works with a ton of different foods, and I also really love the firm, but tender texture of shrimp – provided they are cooked right. In this video, I show you how you to make a pretty simple recipe that is quick to make, but don’t right, it tastes really great – Shrimp with Spaghetti. Of course, there are all kinds of wa
Risotto is one of my favorite foods. Traditionally made from aborio rice, it is one of those platform ingredients that you can make literally thousands of dishes from. However, not one to hold closely to tradition, I’ve started making risotto out of ingredients other than rice. In this recipe video, I show you how to make an Orzo risotto. Orzo is a ric
While pasta makes for great main courses, there are a ton of different and great soup, salad, and side dish applications. In this recipe video, I’m going to show you how to make an Orzo Pasta with Summer Vegetables that certainly could be a main, but that I generally use for either a hot side dish, or a cold pasta salad.

That’s the case in this recipe video, where I show you how t
You don’t need much to make a great pasta dish. Frankly, it’s amazing that with just 4 – 5 ingredients, you can create a flavorful, filling, interesting and easy dinner…that’s the magic of pasta. In this recipe video, I’m going to show you how to make one of those dishes, Fettucini with Basil and Garlic. It’s a take on another “platform“ recipe,
As I’ve said before, pasta recipes are among my favorites because there are so many options, with so many ingredients. I love the rich heavy sauces, that simmer on the stove and perfume the entire house (if not neighborhood), and I also love the light quick dishes that take 20 minutes to make, but are still packed with flavor and bite. In this recipe video, I show you one of those 20 minute p
I’ve written of the magical, the wonderful, the fantastical fettucini Alfredo before. There are many different versions available, and in this recipe video I’ve got another for you: Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli. Like traditional fettucini Alfredo, this version very simple to make, and it has the added benefit working in a vegetable that’s
Simple pasta dishes are a favorite for my wife and I after a long day at work. They are (by definition since I call them simple), easy to make, filling, and when you throw the right ingredients to together, very healthy. This recipe video, for Fettucini with Tomato and Olives, hits on all those points. It is my “quick and dirty” take on a pasta puttanesca, that you
I’ve got a another simple pasta recipe to show you in this video. Here, I combining Penne pasta, with a "sauce" made with zucchini, red bell pepper, garlic and shallot. This recipe is the ultimate in NoRecipeRequired, as the ingredients are so flexible you can swap anything in or out. It’s really the techniques that make the dish great. If you don’t like zucchini, use eggplant
