Mushroom Shrimp Pasta Florentine Recipe
Saturday May 25, 2013

I always keep frozen shrimp in the freezer for quick meals. Shrimp cooks quickly and pairs with just about any vegetable. This recipe focuses on button mushrooms and baby spinach as its vegetable partners. A bit of wine, clam juice, and cream makes a quick sauce, and it's all served over linguine, fettucine, or your favorite pasta. Take about 10 minutes to prepare your ingredients in advance, and you can have the entire meal on the table in less than 30 minutes. A salad and crusty artisan bread completes the meal.

Homemade Olive Tapenade Recipe

If you're a foodie in New Orleans, you must try the muffaletta sandwich. The key ingredient in a muffaletta that sets it apart is the olive tapenade spread, which is made with olives, capers, anchovies, and lemon juice. Don't skip the anchovies. You won't know they're in there when you taste the final result. Tapenade is widely available in markets, but it is so easy to make fresh at home. Try it on your favorite sandwich, panini, or baquette toasts. Tapenade is an olive-lover's dream.

Although not traditional, this risotto is made easily in the oven. The sausage and shrimp turn this baked risotto into a flavorful one-pot meal. If you do not own a clay-pot, use a covered Dutch oven in a preheated 375 F. oven. Cheddar cheese may be substituted for the Parmesan and additional chicken broth may be substituted for the wine.
