Recipe by: Ree DRummond
-
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fettuccine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 pound white mushrooms, quartered
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 zucchinis, quartered and sliced
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 8 scallions, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoon each olive oil and butter in a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the green and red bell peppers and mushrooms and sprinkle over the garlic and 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. Let the peppers and mushrooms sit a few seconds, so they start to blacken on the bottom, then cook, stirring gently, about 1 minute.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Throw in the zucchini, and another 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in the heavy cream followed by the tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 minutes. The sauce should be spicy.
- Add the cooked pasta, scallions to the sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over chopped parsley and serve.

Dessert Recipe: Strawberry Shortcake Cake
Servings: Makes 1 10" Cake
Food Network Magazine ~ Step by Step
I made this cake a few years ago on a whim . . . and what a delightful whim it turned out to be. It's a spin on strawberry shortcake, but the cake is, well, cake--not the biscuit-like disc in the classic strawberry shortcake recipe. I added cream cheese frosting instead of whipped cream, just for kicks, and it turned out to be just what the whole mess of deliciousness needed. This is one of my father-in-law's three favorite desserts. He likes to eat it for breakfast. I do too, now that I think about it!
Recipe by: Betty Claycomb ~ Alverton, Pennsylvania
-
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda Strawberries:
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar Cream Cheese Frosting:
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan that's at least 2 inches deep (or you can split the batter between 2 pans if they're not deep enough).
- To make the cake batter, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla, then mix until just combined.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda and add it to the bowl.
- Mix it together until just combined.
- Spread it in the pan or pans and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cake is no longer jiggly like my bottom.
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool completely.
- Next, mash the strawberries with a potato masher or a fork (reserve a few for garnish if you like).
- Sprinkle the strawberries with the sugar. Toss them around and allow them to sit for a little while.
- They'll give off this beautiful liquid after several minutes. Try not to drink it with a straw.
- To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mix until very light and fluffy. Warning: You'll feel like eating this bowl of icing before you even get it on the cake.
- To assemble the cake, use a sharp knife to cut it in half through the middle. It's easier if you go all around the perimeter of the cake, slicing only halfway through the circle the whole way.
- Lay the two halves cut side up.
- nd cover both halves with an equal amount of strawberries. Then--this is an important step!--place the cake halves in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. This'll firm up the surface of the strawberries just a bit so that it's easier to spread on the icing.
- Remove the cakes from the freezer and place one layer on a cake stand or platter. Cover with a little less than a third of the icing.
- Place the second layer on top, then spread the top with icing.
- Carefully ice the outside of the cake with the remaining icing.
- Lovely! You can certainly decorate the top of the cake with strawberry slices, too. But I'm hungry and want to eat, so I'll skip that part.
- Store leftovers in the fridge. The cake can be made up to 24 hours in advance.,/
