two pastas recipes that you will love:

1. fettuccine with swiss chard, onions, and goat cheese.


there was no time to take a picture of the finished product because i was too busy gobbling it up.  i like this recipe because it incorporates a healthy element: the dark leafy green.  i probably got lots of delicious iron from that swiss chard, which outweighs the unhealthiness (sorry - we're thinking positively here - CALCIUM!) of the delicious goat cheese.

(sidebar: yay for my new iphone - i'm much more likely to take pictures, i'm finding, since my phone is right there with me!  thomas recommended i get the blogger app for my iphone, which was a great idea - i can post the pictures directly from my phone, though i'm finding that i like to type the posts on the computer - much speedier.)

2. tortellini with mushroom sauce.


as i was making this dish i couldn't help thinking about how much dad and becky would love this recipe - they are huge mushroom fans.  (i'll make it for you guys soon!)  the sauce is just sauteed mushrooms and garlic and water, with some butter and parmesan - it's more of a broth than a sauce.  but a VERY yummy broth.

(don't you love this bowl?  i have three of them - they're from anthropologie - and they're the perfect big bowl for soups and pastas.)
