I find that there is something relaxing and soothing about making pasta by hand. I’m not Italian (but sometimes think I should have been), and making my own pasta is my way of channeling my inner Italian grandmother.
Ever since we planned our February Boston trip, I had been looking forward to the butternut squash ravioli [...]

Pumpkin Ricotta Ravioli
Penne with Rapini and Sausage
I’m always anxious to get back in my kitchen after traveling. I enjoy being in new places and trying new food, but after a while, I get sick of eating out and just want to make something for myself.
That’s how I started to feel this weekend. Not only did I have the urge to cook, [...]
Friday Favorites – Blogiversary Edition (Episode 39)
It has been 1 year since I started blogging and sharing my recipes here at My Kitchen Addiction… Can you believe it?
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been a whole year already… In fact, it was so hard to believe that I totally forgot about it earlier this week (Jan 18th was the [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 38
It’s Friday again… Can you believe it? I can’t, but that’s because it’s not *actually* Friday yet. It’s Thursday night… for another 57 minutes, at least.
This has been a busy week for me. Earlier in the week, I found out that I am headed to NYC in a few weeks. I was also busy with [...]
Spinach, Sage, and Prosciutto Stuffed Pork
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I planned on making this stuffed pork tenderloin with the parmesan roasted potatoes that I made for Gourmet Unbound. I wasn’t feeling great, though, and the pork tenderloin never happened. So, about a week later, I finally got around to giving it a shot, but it turned out to be one [...]
Cheesy Baked Pasta with Collards and Bacon
This is another dish that I wasn’t too sure about as I formed the recipe in my head…
I’m really not much of a greens person in general. Lettuce, spinach, arugula, kale, chard, collards… You name it, I will probably turn my nose up at it. I do eat them all, but given the choice between [...]
Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Boston Inspired Italian Birthday Celebration
I adore Boston, Massachusetts. There’s just something about the city that draws me in. I love the fusion of the modern city with the rich historical past. In one day you can stroll through the Public Garden and see the sites along the Freedom Trail, window shop on Newbury Street, and then head to the South [...]
Spinach and Cheese Lasagna Rolls
About two months ago, my husband and I ate dinner at the Olive Garden. We don’t eat there very often, and I know that many of the dishes aren’t as authentic as they would like us to think. That aside, while we were there, we ordered an appetizer that was cheese filled lasagna noodles, breaded and [...]
Chicken Pinwheels with Sage, Ricotta, and Parmesan
Last week, I made a big batch of marinara sauce intending to make eggplant parmigiana. My plans were derailed, though, by what turned out to be a rotten eggplant. I was left with a double batch of marinara sauce in the fridge. So, I decided to make chicken pinwheels to use up some of the sauce.
I [...]
Spinach Stuffed Shells
About a week ago, I was wandering down the pasta aisle at the store, hoping for some inspiration. Sure enough, I spotted boxes of jumbo shells, and I decided to make these spinach stuffed shells.
I had fresh spinach in the refrigerator, so I chopped it up and used it in this recipe. If you don’t [...]
