Meatless Monday #7: Spinach pasta with mushrooms and walnuts
I love homemade pasta. It is so much tastier than store bought pasta and surprisingly easy to make if you have a good recipe. I have made homemade pasta many times but this recipe from Martha Stewart is the best recipe I have ever used. It really is easy to make, but I must warn […]
Meatless Monday #6: Butternut and Pearl Barley Risotto
