Deconstructed Roasted Garlic Marinara + Fresh Basil
Deconstructed Roasted Garlic Marinara + Fresh Basil. All of the flavors of your homemade marinara, but presented in a completely different way. The perfect summer pasta dish (and the leftovers are amazing).
I have been wanting to make this recipe for the blog for-ever! It is one of my absolute favorite summer dishes (it is perfect for company/dinner parties) because it is actually incredibly simple to make, but it looks so fancy! And my favorite thing about it is that, while all of the ingredients are placed separately on your plate, once you break out the roasted garlic and it mixes with one of the bursting roasted tomatoes and the basil…. it just creates its very own marinara sauce right there in front of your eyes. So dreamy ?

Cheesy Baked Red Wine and Basil Rigatoni
Cheesy Baked Red Wine and Basil Rigatoni – a classic baked pasta that is elevated to the next level with red-wine, fresh basil and zucchini; topped with fresh mozzarella cheese.
Cheesy pasta, anyone? Is cheesy pasta ever not a good idea. I mean, it’s always good – right? It is a mixture of everything wonderful: pasta (I love you carbs), sauce of some kind, cheese, more cheese, and even more cheese (seriously, there are, at a minimum, no less than 3 cheeses in this thing). It is all baked together, so every bite is a warm, cheese covered noodle with tomato sauce. Sounds amazing, right? Well it is – and you need it in your life.

Creamy Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Creamy Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a classic Italian pasta dish that is beautifully simplistic and savory. 
Carbonara has been on my culinary bucket list of “classic dishes I have to try to make” for as long as I can remember. I just had to set aside some time to do some research before jumping in. With such an iconic dish, this wasn’t something I was just going to make up on a whim. There is a specific technique with the timing of it all coming together and before I ever try and come up with any sort of spin on this, I had to really learn the ins and outs of the classic recipe first. All I can say is – wow. Talk about a savory dish. It is so simple, yet just perfectly creamy and lick-the-bowl-clean delicious. You guys need to give this a try and check it off your list as well.
