Only one more day of Cookbook Week after this. Can you handle it?? Here we go...
4. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF PASTA AND NOODLES, by Cook's Illustrated.
If you're not familiar with Cook's Illustrated, it is an invaluable resource that comes from America's Test Kitchen - a magical place where recipes are tested over and over and over again until perfection is reached. I have a few of their cookbooks and I have used this Pasta one the least, so I was very excited to crack it open last night.
It was not easy to pick a recipe, but in the name of Saving My Calories For This Weekend, I decided on something light-ish. I said ISH! This sauce was JUST rich enough, but, sadly, lacking a little flavor. I added dried thyme, oregano and capers as enhancement and it needed it. Come on ATK, I expect more from you! Recipe HERE (but you might have to sign up for a free trial to get it).

Instead of pasta, I served this over spaghetti squash. Delish. p.s. Spaghetti squash is really hard to cut.
it looks so so so good.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I love ATK show and I have a few of their cookbooks, but I have to agree, they always seem to be lacking in some form of flavor. I always blamed my more southwestern tastebuds vs their east coast ones. But I dunno, love their techniques but not 100% sure about their flavors. Its nice to see that I'm in good company!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Totally agree on cutting the spaghetti squash. I'm glad someone agrees!
ReplyDeleteIf you poke holes in it and steam (microwave or oven), its way easier to cut...then just scoop the seeds out and shred :)
