I tried to make a tortellini soup in the slow cooker a few years ago after seeing it on one of those Facebook videos. The recipe called for cream cheese, which never really did anything but become a chunky mess. It was definitely a fail. I've wanted to make my own version (that would actually… Continue reading Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato & Tortellini Soup
I made this dish because I wanted something easy to reheat for lunch throughout the week. I don't have a toaster oven at work, so anything I make for reheating needs to be something that microwaves well. This dish turned out to be great reheated. Sometimes I needed to add a little water to the… Continue reading Baked Rigatoni

I tweeted earlier "Food blogger problem - realizing halfway through making something that you haven't written any of it down." That may have related to part of this recipe. The parts I'm unsure of are marked accordingly. Oh, and remember how I said before not to ask me about my pasta recipe because I have… Continue reading Three Cheese Rustic Herb Ravioli with Cream Sauce and Tomatoes
I received the pasta roller and cutter attachments for my KitchenAid mixer for my birthday earlier this month. I have been begging for these for so long! I've always liked fresh pasta better than boxed (who doesn't?!), and this gives me an easy way to make it at home. The KitchenAid attachments are really handy because you… Continue reading Homemade Pasta (Spaghetti)
