Creamy Steak & Mushroom Rigatoni Creamy Steak & Mushroom Rigatoni
This was made with leftover steak we brought home from a new steakhouse we tried that was less than stellar (lesson learned, we're sticking to our "regular" place from now on lol). I didn't want to completely waste our money so I was just trying to figure out a way to salvage the mess we brought home using what I had on hand. This turned out pretty dang good, and using evaporated milk as a substitute for cream is always tasty (I do it often). You can definitely use fresh steak if you don't have any leftover from another meal, and it absolutely can be any cut you wish!

Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce
I made this upon request. Tomato sauce with baked paprika and homemade pesto genovese makes a really delicious sauce.There's no cheese in the pesto genovese, so I add it in.If you mix the paprika in the food processor for 10 seconds, some grains will remain. To get it smooth, alternate between on and off for a few seconds. It's plenty delicious without cream, but don't forget the olive oil. Recipe by Brandy -
Rich Basil Pesto Rich Basil Pesto
I wanted to make basil pesto using fresh aromatic basil direct from a farmer.Dry-roasting nuts gives extra flavour. You can divide it up into small portions and store in the freezer. If you store in the fridge for a while, keep only portions you will use. Flatten the surface and pour the olive oil on it to avoid any discolouring.If you leave some nuts chunks when you use the food processor, you can also enjoy the nutty texture. Recipe by KiwieKiwie -
