Tortellini with Pesto, Peas and Crispy Prosciutto
I love the addition of peas in this creamy, herby and garlicky pasta for that burst of green color and nutrients, of course. But really, this recipe is all about the crispy prosciutto! An already perfectly tasty pesto pasta gets amped up to an 11 with crispy, salty, meat condiments on top.
Spicy & Smoky Pasta Salad
I am in love with this spicy & smoky pasta salad because it’s just a little unexpected. We’ve got a creamy, tangy dressing thanks to my “secret” ingredient, white balsamic vinegar! The spicy part comes into play with one of my favorite ingredients of all time, Mama Lil’s Peppers. If you know, you know!

Shrimp Penne Alla Vodka
This shrimp penne alla vodka is the perfect time-saving yet comforting dish. Throwing this together takes no longer than 30 minutes from start to finish and uses just a few simple ingredients.
And while the time-saving factor is all well and good, let’s be real: this is really all about the FLAVOR. The vodka sauce alone is worth licking your bowl clean for. It's bold, tangy, perfectly creamy yet surprisingly light. Subtle hints of warm spice and garlic add a much appreciated layer of flavor, along with bright, fresh basil that pair perfectly with shrimp. It's a dish you’ll easily want to eat and cook day after day!
