March is Full of Pasta-bilities!
When I go to the mailbox and I find the latest issue of my favorite magazines there I get very excited. What is even better is when they feature a favorite ingredient. This month when both Cooking Light
Everyday Food is that cute little magazine you often see at the checkout counter that is produced by Martha Stewart. In March, they are sharing “10 New Ways to Love Pasta.” I didn’t know I needed 10 new ways, but I’m always interested in new flavors to add to my favorite food. With the official start of Spring only a few weeks away, Linguine with Spring Vegetables sounds like a nice light and healthy weeknight meal. There are also the pasta dishes that are the ultimate in comfort food for those last remnants of Winter, Southern Mac and Cheese and Slow Cooker Lasagna.
Cooking Light is focusing on making homemade pasta in the Cooking Class feature in March. They share step-by-step instructions, with photos, on how to do this at home. I think I could even make the Ravioli with Herbed Ricotta Filling on a weeknight using this magazine as a guide. One pasta dough can do so much that you’ll be able to impress your family with Bucatini alla Carbonara or Fettuccine with Olive Oil, Garlic and Red Pepper. Once you learn this technique, the possibilities are endless.
Both magazines are available right now, so grab them and you’ll be creating some incredible meals for your family and friends.
