My Favorite Pasta Recipes

Welcome to the 19th issue of "Shut Up and Mangia!". This issue will focus on my favorite pasta recipes. Pasta, pasta and more pasta. When you think of Italy, you think of pasta . During these bad economic times pasta costs less and can feed the whole family. Combine pasta with fresh spring vegetables, sauces and meats and you can make hundreds of different delicious dishes.

In this issue, My Favorite Pasta Recipes are recipes that I make on a regular basis. Some are rich and heavy with cream sauce and others are light and nutritious. The best part of pasta dishes this time of year is the abundance of fresh vegetables that are available. Either grow them in your back yard or visit you favorite Farmers Market.

Throughout this newsletter I’ll refer you to few great pasta books, a couple of Chicago restaurants famous for their great pasta dishes and five of my pasta dishes that I’m famous for. At least at home.

My Recipe Directory.com is up and running and ready to go. Webmasters can now add their recipe websites to this heavily promoted web directory that features all the bells and whistles to help make your site stand out. This directory is human edited ensuring that only high quality sites are listed.
