Nothing beats cooking with summer produce! Fresh basil pesto is always at the top of my list to make all summer long. It only takes a few ingredients and a food processor or blender and boom, you’re in business!

Smoked Lobster Risotto with Spring Peas is a fun recipe that almost qualifies as a one pan meal, with one extra step of smoking the lobster tails. These baby lobster tails were so cute, I wanted to create a delicious recipe that would give them their shining moment!

In my mind, this dish brings together the best of all variations of the dish. The linguini noodle is substantial but somewhat light and the addition of lobster takes it over the top. Lobster always reminds me of the perfect summer ingredient! Using the combination of the vodka, tomatoes, and cream makes for a beautifully silky-smooth sauce and adds luxury to the dish.

This Sausage Orecchiette with Peas & Mascarpone Cream Sauce is rich and creamy, quick and easy! Works perfectly for a weeknight dinner.

This Pappardelle with Pancetta, Peas and Mint is quick, easy and the fresh herbs add a nice pop at the end!

That's right, I said it...Five Cheese Mac & Cheese, the ultimate comfort food. This elevated recipe is sure to please everyone!

Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs....I couldn't actually call myself a food blogger if I didn't have this recipe on my blog, right? After trying many recipes and variations over the years, I have landed on this as the best combination of a few of my favorites. Honestly, Spaghetti & Meatballs is kind of a classic that you don't really mess with.

This is my version of Chicken Pesto Gorgonzola, a favorite of the whole family. It is fairly quick and easy but full of flavor and comfort!

Wow! This Slow Cooked Short Rib Ragu over Penne Pasta is amazing! The recipe is very easy and the depth of flavor, so delicious! Serve it over your favorite pasta and enjoy!

There's nothing better than a Classic Meat Lasagne for a comforting family meal or to feed a crowd. This recipe is the best I've ever tasted. I think it's the homemade, slow simmered Bolognese sauce that makes all the difference. If you want to make a lasagne that will take it over the top, this is it!
