Clam and Arugula Pasta

Clam and Arugula Pasta by Alison's AllspiceI enjoyed this clam and arugula pasta a lot this spring when the arugula was growing in the garden.  It is a light and refreshing meal that is quick and easy to make.  I can’t wait for my fall arugula patch to grow so that I can start enjoying it again!

I am a huge fan of simple veggie pasta dishes.  Pasta, especially spaghetti, is such comfort food for me.  When you add seafood such as clams, it takes elevates comfort food to the next level! Continue reading

Garlicky Kale Caesar Pasta Salad

Garlicky Kale Caesar Pasta Salad by Alison's AllspiceThe first time I came across this idea to turn Caesar salad into a pasta salad, it was in a cooking magazine.  After a quick google search, it appears that I am behind in the game because kale caesar pasta salad is definitely a thing already.

I tried to make mine a little bit different by adding more garlic, and skipping the croutons, using only pasta in my pasta salad.  Also, I added red cabbage for a splash of color. Continue reading

Broken Lasagna Noodle and Mushroom Skillet

Broken Lasagna Noodle and Mushroom Skillet by Alison's AllspiceHave you dreamed about a lasagna that took only one dish to make, and could be finished in 30 minutes or less?  What if it also used up those leftover noodles, especially the broken ones?  I think you have been dreaming about this broken lasagna noodle and mushroom skillet recipe.

When I was developing this recipe, I was using up a box of lasagna noodles with only three left.  Not enough for lasagna, or lasagna roll-ups honestly. Continue reading

Grilled Portabella and Lentil Spaghetti

Grilled Portabella and Lentil Spaghetti by Alison's AllspiceThat time of the year where life starts to get crazy busy is here again.  It’s back to school time, and for me that means meal prep!  One of my favorite ways to meal prep is to grill some extra veggies to use in other meals, like this grilled portabella and lentil spaghetti recipe.

Do you practice meal prep?  I highly recommend it as it is a time saver in the long run.  I like to meal prep all sorts of things, like grilling vegetables for this recipe, or cooking a big batch of grains or making work lunches for the week. Continue reading

Roasted Cauliflower and Spinach Pasta

Roasted Cauliflower and Spinach Pasta by Alison's AllspiceFriends, it has been a busy summer, but I have not forgotten about you and your recipe needs!  This roasted cauliflower and spinach pasta recipe is a simple one that I whipped up out of leftover ingredients in the fridge but I loved it so much that I though you all needed to have it here.

I wrote this recipe as a single serving because that is how I made it.  It could easily be doubled or quadrupled to serve your whole family or to take to a cookout. Continue reading

Coconut Turmeric Noodle Bowl with Tofu and Veggies

Coconut Turmeric Noodle Bowls with Tofu and Veggies by Alison's AllspiceThis coconut turmeric noodle bowl with tofu and veggies was inspired by golden milk, a creamy drink or tea made with a base of plant-based milk and turmeric.  I used the golden milk in place of broth to make a creamy noodle bowl that can be eaten hot or cold.

This isn’t a soup recipe because the ingredients are prepared individually, not together in one pot.  It resembles a buddah bowl more than it does soup. Continue reading

Gluten Free Lentil Quinoa Veggie Meatballs

Gluten Free Lentil Quinoa Veggie Meatballs by Alison's AllspiceFriends, one of my most popular recipes on the blog is my vegetarian lentil quinoa meatballs.  I have been asked many times about making it gluten free, so I decided it was time for an upgrade!  Check out these gluten free lentil quinoa veggie meatballs made with oats and pecans!

To upgrade this recipe, I wanted to omit the breadcrumbs, but keep all the flavor.  The oats help to act as a binder, which the breadcrumbs did in the previous version, and the pecans add more flavor! Continue reading

Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms

Lasagna Stuffed Mushrooms by Alison's AllspiceI love lasagna, but I don’t make it often because it takes so long to make.  Well, these lasagna stuffed mushrooms have many positive qualities of lasagna, while taking much less time to make!

During summer, I like to cook these mushrooms on the grill instead of heating up the oven.  When the temperature starts to drop, like now, I enjoy having the heat of the oven in the house.  In short, either cooking method works. Continue reading
