Mozzarella Pasta Salad
In Favorite Recipes on March 14, 2014 at 5:50 pm
I made this pasta salad for my daughters birthday party and it was delicious. This recipe is very similar to Whole Foods smoked mozzarella pasta salad, with a few fun ingredients that make it kid friendly (which child can resist corn and peas??!!). You could use any pasta shape which would hold up like penne or even macaroni, but the fun shape of bowtie was perfect for a tea party.
Ingredients
1 package organic bowtie pasta
1 cup Bocconcino
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup organic mayonnaise
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 cups organic baby spinach (optional)
1/4 cup of frozen corn
1/4 cup of frozen green peas
1 organic red pepper (diced)
3 cloves organic garlic (freshly crushed)
pink himalayan salt (to taste)
pinch organic cayenne pepper (or a few pinches)
shredded parmesan cheese (for topping)
Directions
Boil and prepare pasta according to package directions, making sure not to over cook.
Boil the frozen peas and the corn. Once tender, drain the water and keep aside.
Dice mozzarella cheese, baby spinach and red peppers, set aside.
Put mayonnaise, parmesan cheese white wine vinegar, garlic, pink himalayan salt, and cayenne pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced mozzarella, baby spinach, red peppers, corn, peas and dressing.
Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese or even a three cheese blend on top and serve.
Chicken Tikka Masala
In Curries, Favorite Recipes, Meat & Poultry, Week night meals on November 10, 2013 at 11:19 pm
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, two tablespoons of tandoori chicken masala and set aside.Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow slashes in each piece of chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade, turn to coat and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the broiler (HI) and position a rack about 8 inches from the heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade; scrape off as much of the marinade as possible and then sprinkle a little more tandoori chicken masala on the side up. Season the chicken with salt, a little oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil the chicken, turn it over and sprinkle tandoori chicken masala on the other side and broil till cooked and slightly charred. Transfer to a cutting board and cut it into 2-inch pieces.
To make the masala heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion, garlic and ginger paste and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent and fragrant,about 5-7 minutes. Add the garam masala, cumin, coriander powder, cayenne, cardamom and tandoori chicken masala frying, for 1 – 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the sugar and salt to season. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Take it off the heat and blend with a hand blender until fairly smooth. Return to heat and add the cream,cooking over low heat till combined. Stir in the chicken; simmer gently for 10 minutes and serve with basmati rice or naan.
I always make extra tandoori chicken for chicken tikka pizza, sandwiches, rolls….
