Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake

October 16, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I am a fan of one pot pastas for easy, delicious weeknight meals, from pumpkin and goat cheese to coconut carrot curry or shrimp and chorizo. And I am branching out into one pot baked pastas now. A host of flavors simply put in a dish and baked in the oven. This version is like a spinach artichoke dip for dinner. Creamy Boursin cheese adds flavor … [Read more...] about Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake

Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

June 19, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I love a hearty cold pasta salad in the summer. This version is inspired by the classic Greek flavors of shrimp, feta and tomatoes, which is a favorite combination for me. The fresh tomato vinaigrette and pops of salty feta marry with Greek-inspired herbs, with a little fennel for crunch and bite. Hearty enough to serve on its own, but you could also scoop into lettuce leaves … [Read more...] about Shrimp, Orzo and Feta Salad

Shrimp and Chorizo One Pot Pasta

January 30, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The dark, chilly days of winter can bring on this sort of pall and lack of energy (or maybe that’s just this Southerner that doesn’t do well in the cold).

So a one pot, low mess, fewer dirty dishes dinner is just the thing. But that doesn’t … [Read more...] about Shrimp and Chorizo One Pot Pasta

Vegetable Marinara – A Very Useful Healthy Sauce

February 28, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

I cook. A lot. You know that. But I am not always motivated to prepare myself an elaborate meal every day of the week. And I certainly have days when I have been rushing around or testing recipes that do not a meal make (yes, I have had hours in the kitchen producing only brownies and cake, or several different kinds of bread). But I try my best to make my regular, at home … [Read more...] about Vegetable Marinara – A Very Useful Healthy Sauce

Creamy Fresh Corn Pasta Sauce

July 28, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I adore fresh corn in the summer, but for most of my life, I never imaginged it paired with pasta until one of my favorite local restaurants had a summer special of fresh tortelloni filled with corn and ricotta. I loved that dish and it really got me thinking, though I knew I would never make my own stuffed pasta. Toothsome pasta with sweet pops of fresh local corn make for an … [Read more...] about Creamy Fresh Corn Pasta Sauce

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
