Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti on black plate - The Gifted Gabber

 

Amy Gramlich: Cheesey Chicken Spaghetti

This chicken spaghetti recipe post is written with bittersweet sentiments. One of the first friends I made when I moved to Little Rock was my friend B. I have some fine memories of our times together – like the time he poured a shot or two of Jagermeister into my chocolate chip cookie batter. The cookies turned out fine…maybe a little chewier than I would have liked. I opted not to take them to the school potluck. READ MORE

Ricci Alexis: Chicken Fajita Pasta

Chicken and Fajitas are two of my favorite things. I could seriously eat Mexican food all day every day. So combining that idea into a pasta? YES PLEASE!! I am a pasta-holic from way back when. I have been trying to cut back but sometimes you just need something hot and warm and this recipe fits that bill perfectly! It may just be my new go-to comfort food. Plus it’s a one pot meal and you just can’t beat that! READ MORE

 

Papparadelle {Pasta} Bolognese

 

Debbie Arnold: Pappardelle Bolognese

I love a a deep, rich, almost intoxicating Bolognese.  The joy of gathering the ingredients, mincing, dicing — I enjoy all of it.  And I especially like the all-day cooking of it about as much as I love, love the way it makes my kitchen smell all homey and welcoming.  And the taste?  Oh my goodness.

Gina Knuppenburg: Cheese Tortellini with Garlic Sauce

Thom’s back in the kitchen!  And, that means my taste buds are happy again {not to mention-the poor guy has lost ten + pounds having to eat my dinners over the last two months}.  For his first real-thrown-together meal he’s prepared post surgery-he knocked it outta the park.  Or, off the stove.

Anita Stafford: Lemon Basil Pasta Salad

This colorful salad is quick to make, but it tastes like a dish that takes hours to prepare.  The wonderful fresh taste makes it a favorite of mine. Any type of tomato can be substituted for the cherry tomatoes. READ MORE

Ricci Alexis: Bang Bang Pasta

For this recipe I just sautéed my shrimp in a little Rice Bran Oil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and then I mixed them with my pasta and sauce. For the pasta I actually used a brown rice penne pasta that I picked up at Trader Joe’s when I was in Dallas. I have professed my love of brown rice many times here on this blog and I love brown rice pasta just as much! What can I say, I love brown rice! READ MORE

Tasty Tuesday: Pasta Please

Anita Stafford: Broccoli, Grape and Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is crunchy and full of healthy goodness. Not everyone loves broccoli, but I think this salad could change minds. Even a skeptic might be converted when the broccoli is tossed with all the red grapes, pasta, toasted pecans, bacon, and tangy dressing. READ MORE

 

 

Grilled Vegetable Pasta Salad with Edamame

 

Debbie Arnold: Grilled Vegetable Pasta Salad with Edamame

This salad is an adaptation of one I read about in Better Homes and Gardens. Since the garden is beginning to flourish with fresh summer vegetables, I decided to make use of those and create this salad to have for lunch recently. It’s great to make ahead and have on hand for a light lunch or dinner. I think you could easily add chicken or shrimp if you’d like although there’s plenty of protein already with the addition of edamame. READ MORE

Pat Downs: Pasta Primavera with Grilled Chicken

I do my Primavera a little differently.   My husband loves corn so I use corn often in lieu of green peas.  I also love the Pasta & Roni Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs.   It contains just the right amount for the two of us.   It will yield 4 servings after you mix all the other ingredients in.

Tallerine - Southern Favorite - #Pasta - Southern Cuisine - #southernrecipes - The Gifted Gabber

Amy Gramlich: Tallerine – Southern Family Favorite

If you love a good Southern dish ooing and gooing with cheese, you must try our tallerine – a longtime family favorite of my Arkansas family.

One of my fondest recurring activities while growing up was going over to my aunt and uncle’s house on Sunday evenings for tallerine. My Aunt Rosie made the best (and only) tallerine I had ever eaten. If you don’t care for processed cheeses like Velveeta, you may want to stay clear. But if you do like Velveeta, hold your appetite because you will want seconds. My whole family in Arkansas is about as southern as it gets. We know what’s good! READ MORE

 

 

Ricci Alexis: Creamy Chicken Spinach Mushroom Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes

For this recipe I was originally going to lighten it up and make it with zoodles but I forgot to grab some zucchini from the store and had half of a box of bow tie pasta in my pantry so that was that, regular pasta it was! I also love that the “sauce” you can eat alone, which I did when I ran out of noodles, HA!

The original recipe didn’t call for spinach but I love to throw spinach in pasta to kick up the nutritional value and make my food look prettier. Plus, just like in smoothies, you can’t really taste it. I tried throwing substituting kale for spinach but it just tastes a little too bitter for me. Do you like kale?? READ MORE

Lyndi Fultz: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chicken Alfredo

A delicious gluten-free dairy-free pasta alfredo.

Gluten Free, Dairy Free Pasta Alfredo arkansaswomenbloggers.com via nwafoodie.com

Hello Community!

For fifteen years I lived a dairy-free life and a gluten-free life for five of those years. Those were challenging years, to say the least. Those were the days where you had to travel to large cities and specialty shops to find pre-packaged goodies and staples. Oftentimes it was a crapshoot on whether that $6.00 teeny tiny bag of pasta was actually going to taste anything like pasta… or disintegrate in the boiling water.

While I am no longer gluten-free or dairy free (read the story on nwafoodie) , ninety percent of the time I still gravitate towards gluten-free dishes. All those years proved to me that eating with limitations has merit. You learn to cook, for instance, because no longer can you mindlessly dial the pizza delivery guy or make something quick, easy, and simple as sandwiches or reach for the pint of ice cream if you had a sweet craving.

For those of you who are still living a gluten-free or dairy-free lifestyle or have a loved one who is, this recipe is for you. Actually, scratch that. This recipe is for all of us, including myself. It’s delicious and deliciousness knows no boundaries.
