Pasta alla Formiana

Another summer tomato recipe I decided to try.  This was going to be the side with braised short ribs tonight.  I really don't like pasta dishes where the pasta goes in raw and comes out cooked but I was curious as it's been a long time since I've done it... I chose pasta that looks like a rooster.  I've always wanted to try it and this seemed like the recipe for it.  

Air Fryer: Crab Rangoon

I've always wanted to try making this.  An air-fryer made it more attractive as a recipe and now that I have that feature in my oven, it was time to give it a try.  

Tomato Grandma Pizza

 Another tomato season recipe I found and decided to try.  What I used:

Tomato Tart with Corn, Caramelized Onions and Blue Cheese

Every tomato season, I always make Tomato Tarte Tatin.  Today, I decided to try a spin on it as there was fresh, local corn at the market so I decided to incorporate it.  I ended up making this up as I went along.  What I used:

Spaghettini allo Scarpariello

Tomato season!!!!  Yay!!!  Yay!!!  I've been eating them every which way this month!  I didn't go to farmer's market today as I still had lots to use from last week's over buying.  I didn't have any more cherry or "sun golds" which is what you're supposed to use for this.  I just used all the super ripe tomatoes I had left.

Apple Jelly Pork Tenderloin Casserole

I was gifted some homemade apple jelly and I was thinking I could use it with some pork tenderloin I had in the freezer.  I decided to create a casserole, all-in-one dinner on this rainy day.  I had some Swiss chard that needed using and we haven't had rice in a while, so those ingredients were included.  

Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

I had company coming who eats gluten free, so I made this dessert for us.  I was dismayed to find that arrowroot starch was $10 at the grocery store, seemed like a huge rip off!!!  My friend grew the peaches in her yard which was amazing and said these were the last of them for this season.  They smelled so good sitting on my counter it was hard to resist eating them.  I followed this recipe:  The bold italic text below is for the peach mixture, the rest for the topping.

Spaghettini al Limone (Lemon Pasta)

I was wanting something simple tonight so decided on lemon pasta.  There are a lot of variations of it out there, some with garlic.  I just used what I had on hand and kept it as simple as can be.

Cold Spicy Kimchi Noodles (Bibim Guksu)

Yay!  I actually had company for lunch today with a friend who likes spicy food and also eats healthy.  We ate outside, but this is progress and plenty of time past 2nd vaccines!  I thought I'd make some kind of salad, an upscale salad.  I looked at a lot of different recipes and based mine on this one.  The bold italic text is the sauce (Bibim):

Pasta e Fagioli Soup

I had an Italian boyfriend for a period of time and this title would come up in conversations (probably why I've never made it before, lol).  Anyway, I was craving hamburger soup but instead of my usual, I decided to give this a try.   What I used:
