Spinach and Feta Quiche
Quiche me, you fool! Sorry, I couldn’t resist! Okay, lame jokes aside, can we talk about quiche for a minute?
Quiche is probably one of the most versatile dishes ever. It is a great addition to a brunch menu or served with a nice salad it makes a delicious light lunch or dinner. It’s also impressive enough to serve to company, yet it could not be any easier to make.
This quiche has all of the flavors you would find in a traditional Spanokopita, (A Greek Spinach and Feta Pie). Loads of spinach, tangy feta cheese, onions, garlic, and dill. Continue reading
Spaghetti Carbonara with Roasted Cauliflower
Spaghetti Carbonara is a classic pasta dish that requires only a few basic ingredients, comes together in minutes, and is so wonderfully sinful it should be illegal.
There are only a few ingredients needed for this amazing pasta dish – pasta, eggs, cured pork such as bacon or pancetta, hard aged cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper. This dish is so much more than the sum of its parts. Steaming hot pasta is tossed with raw eggs and grated cheese, resulting in a luxuriously creamy sauce without the addition of any cream. I just love roasted cauliflower and I thought it would work beautifully in this dish. I also replaced the Parmesan with an aged Asiago cheese as that is what I had on hand.
