Bacon and Tomato Rotini

A great pasta recipe is a must have for a busy night, luckily this Bacon and Tomato Rotini is just the thing! You can have it on the table in less than a half hour and it will make everyone happy with it’s mix of cheese, garlic, bacon and tomatoes! I used the rotini for this since the rolls helped the olive oil and garlic mix to really stick to the pasta and hold onto the flavor. This is a must try for any night of the week!  Continue reading “Bacon and Tomato Rotini”

Caprese Lasagna

I am loving making everything caprese lately! The mix of mozzarella, basil and tomatoes is absolutely delicious! I’ve also been really into balsamic vinegar lately too so adding it to this recipe was just an explosion of flavor that made this a recipe that didn’t last long. I highly recommend this for a big Sunday dinner! I included instructions to make a balsamic glaze yourself but if you want to skip that step, you can get some pre-made glaze hereContinue reading “Caprese Lasagna”

Skillet Baked Ziti

I loved how this Skillet Baked Ziti came out! One pan meals are very popular due to the simplicity and the easy clean up! This recipe definitely falls in that category. Everything cooks up right in the skillet and finish off under the broiler for a few minutes for a perfectly saucy, cheesy pasta dish!  Continue reading “Skillet Baked Ziti”

Skillet Tuna Penne

My husband is a huge tuna fan so it’s a staple on my shopping list. He usually just throws it together and makes a quick dish but I wanted to add a little something extra. This Skillet Tuna Penne is a creamy, easy dish that is a great change of pace from regular tuna casserole, and it smells amazing! However, if you want to go the classic route, you can find a recipe for Tuna Casserole hereContinue reading “Skillet Tuna Penne”

Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo

Ever since I was a kid, a big bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo was something I always loved. It was the ultimate comfort food. But it is not the healthiest thing to chow down on. This version still has a ton of flavor but doesn’t have the heavy cream to add on the calories and fat. I left the milk option open ended because it’s up to you on how many calories you want to cut, however I would recommend you not use skim. You have to have a little bit of fat to make the sauce nice and rich. Heavy cream is about 30% fat so even switching to whole milk would cut down on your calorie count without taking away the sauce we all love.  Continue reading “Skinny Fettuccine Alfredo”
