Pasta Week {Back to Basics}
This week we're going to tackle making our own pasta, as well as all the fun things you can do with it. Ready?
Salsa Verde (not the kind with tomatillos)
As part of sauces week for the Back to Basics series, I decided to try my hand at salsa verde. Since I grew up around Mexican food, I immediately thought it would be the tomatillo version. Nope. This is Italian, and is one of Alice Waters' four essential sauces.
Flavored Butter
I was able to kill two birds with one stone by making this herbed butter--I wanted to try it for sauces week, plus it's on my list of recipes I still need to finish from Simply in Season. This one is great on baked potatoes.
Steak, Collards and Baked Potato {Dark Days Challenge}
I missed a couple of weeks in the Dark Days Challenge, I've been so caught up with the Back to Basics Series here at The Local Cook! But I've returned this week with a flavorful dinner that features local ingredients.
Dressings & Sauces Recipe Swap {Link Up!}
It's time for another Back to Basics recipe swap! Last week you all did a fabulous job with sharing some of the best salad recipes I've seen in a long time. This week, I can't wait to see your favorite dressings & sauces.
