Sorry, this is very after-the-fact, but I bought all the ingredients to make your No. 3 Green Noodles and I just have 2 questions: When you say Cream Sauce, do you mean regular old flour, butter, milk with pesto mixed in? and do you serve it hot or cold? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy thirties have been the best decade yet. I am happy, content with my completed family, and confident in who I am and where I am going. Salud to your thirties, Jane!
ReplyDeleteHere's my menu:

Tuesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Spaghetti casserole
Friday: BBQ spare ribs with yet to be determined sides
Saturday: Out for dinner!
hi laurel!
ReplyDeletedefinitely serve it HOT :)
as for the sauce, yeah, a classic cream sauce with pesto mixed in will work. if you go back to the original post (http://www.thisweekfordinner.com/2008/09/featured-recipe-no-3-aka-green-noodles.html) my mom "MaWa" made a comment describing how she does the cream sauce from scratch, and it's super easy, so definitely go check out her comment.
good luck - wish I was eating at your house tonight! :)
Cate must have learned about Mac & Cheese from the "other" grandparents.

ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying your blog so much, so I thought I'd finally share. I'm cooking for a very traditional Irish man and three little boys in my family...so we have a lot of the same dishes each week and it is very meat-heavy.
ReplyDeleteHere's where I've started keeping track (in hopes of creating a master list for each season to work off of!):http://inthecommonhours.typepad.com/in_the_common_hours/whats-for-dinner.html
