Creamy Herb Pasta

Someone told me about this recipe during a cooking class. It’s stuck with me, definitely qualifies as another Trader Joe’s hack. It’s summery, light with a bit of richness and would pair well with grilled salmon.

A mix of herbs from Trader Joe’s such as parsley, sage, chives, mint and thyme – or herbs from the Farmer’s Market, minced or food chopped. Three-fourths of a cup.

For The Cream – Real Cream, or Organic Half and Half, or Vegan Cream consisting of Coconut Milk blended with mustard (1 can of full fat Coconut milk blended with a tablespoon of mustard) – 1 Cup

Pasta – A Fettucine noodle would be great. Fusilli pictured here. 2 Cups

Salt & Pepper

Mince herbs or food chop them in a blender and add cream on pasta for a dinner main or a side. Herbs from, where else, Trader Joe’s, here. A mix of Farmer’s Market herbs even better. Three fourths of a cup of minced herbs for two cups of pasta.

Some adds for more flavor:  don’t forget the salt and pepper, garlic powder, mustard powder - and a little goat cheese or Pecorino Romano for more heft.

Use the leftover parsley, sage, chives, mint and thyme for broiled and grilled meats and drinks.

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar.

One Day Barista Training at the New Jersey Coffee School

Image
Such a special experience and a reminder that most of the time, it’s later than you think.  New Jersey Coffee School at the Monroe Center is closing in Hoboken after a 3-year run. They are now offering on-site training to their hospitality clientele, still a successful business, but no longer serving as a stand-alone training space. I enrolled in Day One of their 3-Day Barista training just before the closing was announced. I have probably done “the 10,000 hours” in food but my experience in beverages is limited.   Specifically, I am looking to purchase an at home espresso maker and taking the class provided me with an overview of the equipment. Coffee’s definitely got its fix on us.   I gained a better understanding of the history of coffee, farming, and the coffee production process, from bean to first sip. Matcha and Chai have reached a tipping point in the States with the class also exploring these relatively newer entries to the U.S. beverage scene.   We mad...
