Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and butter and 8-inch springform pan.

In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with vanilla and brewed espresso and brandy.

Add butter, sugar, and almonds and heat the mixture until the butter has melted.

Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.

Beat the 3 egg yolks until they are lemon colored and stir them into the chocolate mixture.

Whip the 3 egg whites until they are just stiff and fold them into the chocolate mixture.

Turn the batter into the pan and bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes.

Let the cake cool completely on a rack and remove the sides of the pan.

The cake will rise and then fall.

Pasta with Broccoli and Garlic

I used a whole wheat blend of pasta/spaghetti. I cut back some on the olive oil and used smart balance blend instead of butter. I also only used 1 tsp of the crushed red pepper for my children's palate and it seemed fine. I usually save some of my pasta water as a way to decrease the stickiness of my pasta if it has to sit around while I am finishing some other part of the recipe, which I added and didn't seem to diminish the flavor of the dish. Everyone liked it.
