Pasta recipes

My take on this classic Italian belly warming soup.

Crispy deep-fried Chinese vermicelli topped with stir-fried chilli vegetables in a soy, vinegar, and brown sugar sauce. A crunchy, sweet-sour vegetarian noodle dish.

This tasty yet refreshing spinach salad is a classic Korean side dish that you can pretty much find in every Korean restaurant. It's quick, easy to make at home, it goes well with most of the BBQ, any meat dish, or just simply serve it with some steamed rice.

Classic almond macaroons made with almond paste and stiff egg whites. Chewy centers with crisp edges, these gluten-free cookies release easily with a wet towel trick.

Black bean hummus with tahini, lime, garlic, and cumin. A southwestern twist on the classic chickpea spread, vegan and ready in 5 minutes in the food processor. Smooth, smoky, and dippable.

Classic Middle Eastern hummus blended from chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Smooth, creamy, and ready in 10 minutes for pita, vegetables, or anything that needs a smear.

Your basic hummus. Try adding a handful of black beans, spinach, or other "flavors" and spice to create your own unique taste!

A tasty hummus recipe made with a bit of lemon juice and curry powder. Perfect for dips or as a sandwich spread.

Classic baba ghanoush with fire-charred eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, topped with parsley and olive oil. The traditional Middle Eastern smoky eggplant dip done right.

Simple homemade marinara sauce with fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and torn basil. Simmers in 30 minutes for a rustic Italian pasta sauce.

This scrumptious dip is made with eggplants, garlic and tahini. Can be used as a sandwich spread or eaten with crackers and tortilla chips.

Fermented black beans can be found at Asian markets; but if unavailable, you can substitute prepared black bean sauce.

Panang curry paste is a flavorful and aromatic blend of spices and herbs that forms the base of the popular Thai dish, Panang curry.

Smoky baba ghanoush gets its deep, fire-kissed flavor from whole eggplants charred over medium-hot coals. Blended with tahini, garlic, lemon, and a touch of sugar for balance. A creamy Middle Eastern dip that puts hummus on notice.

Vegan Bolivian-style huminta with quinoa, tofu, and winter squash blended into a savory baked casserole. Tahini and anise give the dish nutty depth and a faintly licorice finish.

I love this sauce! The sodium in a whole pot is less than the amount in one serving of "heart healthy" jarred sauce.
