Pancetta, Goat Cheese & Herb Loaded Spaghetti

This weeks new recipe is this super simple and speedy “date night” pancetta, goat cheese, and herb loaded spaghetti. Perfect for Valentine's this weekend, or anytime really.

I recommend having all of your ingredients chopped and prepped ready to cook as this pasta dish comes together very quickly. The time it takes the pasta to cook is all you need to prepare the sauce, roughly 8-10 minutes. The perfect “fast food”.

Spiced Parsnip & Carrot Cake with Burnt Honey Cream Cheese Frosting & Root Vegetable Chips

This new dessert was super fun to create. It's a delicious spiced parsnip and carrot cake with burnt honey cream cheese frosting and root vegetable chips.

The guys from Miele reached out and challenged me to create an extraordinary dish using ordinary ingredients for their #ChefsAtHome campaign currently running on social. 

For this recipe, you can go ‘all-out’ and create the cake with the two layers, add the burnt honey, and the textural root vege crisps -OR- simply create the cake as one layer, top with the frosting, and a drizzle of honey - choose your own adventure!

Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Risoni (Orzo) with Crispy Sage & Walnuts
