Some days you just need a big bowl of pasta, and for me, today was one of those days. I turned to Giada de Laurentiis for some ideas and, as usual, found myself wanting each dish more and more. Here are some recipes I’m bookmarking for the future:
- Rigatoni with Eggplant Puree
- Butternut Squash Soup with Fontina Cheese Crostini
- Rigatoni with Vegetable Bolognese
- Butternut Squash Tortellini with Brown Butter Sauce
- Pasta alla Formiana
- Cranberry Bean Pasta Fagioli
P.S. I chose an iPhone case today! With 25% off + free shipping at J.Crew (code SURPRISE), I couldn’t resist. The glitter case is mine for $20 — can’t beat that! Did you get any great Cyber Monday deals?

Oh wow, I have been uninspired by pasta lately but these are making me want to cook a really big pot of it. I love to watch Giada on the foodtv network but have never tried any of her recipes, I think it might be time to change that.
I haven’t watched her show lately, but for some reason, there is just something very calming about watching her cook.
Oh that makes me hungry. I could happily eat pasta for every meal!
Meeeeee too.
Oooooh, way to make me HONGRY!
