Boniet

Recipe by: The Iron Chef-SuziQ

Reviews(1)

Pronounced 'bun-yet,' this is an old Italian recipe from my Nonie's kitchen. It is made using mainly parsley and garlic and is meant to be eaten with crusty warm bread. It is almost sinful to share this secret recipe with the world, but I know you'll love it as much as my family and I do. Refrigerate overnight for best flavour.

Cara's Corn Chip Chilli Lasagna

Recipe by: caraanne

Reviews(1)

An excellent hearty and warming family meal. Can be mildly mouthwatering or hot as you dare. It can also be varied ever so slightly by trying different flavoured corn chips/tortilla chips. Try zingy lime or fragrant chilli varieties to suit your own tastes. I have seen chilli lasagna recipes before but always using pasta sheets which doesn't feel very Mexican to me. Serve with a crisp cooling salad dressed with mint, cucumber, yoghurt or soured cream.

This is a delicious version of the classic with a little more kick! You can substitute the vinegar with lime or lemon juice. Serve with farfalle, or any other pasta shape.

Easy Pizza Sauce

Recipe by: Frank Sweterlitsch

Be the first to review it!

Tomato purée, olive oil, garlic and dried spices sit for hours to let the flavours blend in this interesting, uncooked pizza sauce. The thickness of the sauce depends on the amount of water used; it should be somewhat viscous.

This is the easiest pesto recipe, using almonds instead of pine nuts. It can be prepared in 2 minutes after you toast the almonds.

Fresh exotic mushrooms are available in autumn, and they add a wonderfully concentrated flavour to this express mushroom dish. Serve with creamy pasta or griddled ciabatta and a plum tomato salad. Delicious!

Laseyona

Recipe by: Andi

Be the first to review it!

Passed down from my mum from a friend of my dad's, the late Mark Lasey. They went round for a dinner after the pub one night and all he had was mushrooms, onions, minced beef, baked beans and pasta that could have gone together as a dish. The dish was a success and we have now perfected it as a favourite family dish and have named it Laseyona after my dad's dear friend.

Pesto

Recipe by: ANDERVAL

Reviews(4)

Classic pesto - made with basil, olive oil, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. I like to add fresh chopped parsley to finish - a deviation from the traditional recipe - but feel free to omit this!

Pesto Del Sol

Recipe by: WMAURO

Be the first to review it!

After they soak in the sun all summer long, I cut down my basil plants and make this gorgeous pesto. This basil pesto is mellowed with fresh spinach and enhanced with black olives. I make big batches and freeze in small containers for the whole year. It will keep in the refrigerator for a week. Toss with pasta, spread on meat or sandwiches, or add a spoonful to flavour your favourite recipes. Enjoy!

Pesto sauce

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

A little home-made pesto sauce goes a long way as it is packed with flavour. Toss this sauce into piping-hot pasta just before eating. Store any leftover pesto in a screwtop jar in the fridge (cover the surface of the pesto with a little extra oil).

This variation on the traditional Italian peasant soup made with day-old bread gains a wonderful flavour from garlic, herbs and balsamic vinegar.
