recipe Dinner Recipe: Lemon Pasta Pronto
Servings: 4
Food Network ~ Step by Step

For a quick and easy dinner that hits all the right notes, whip up Ree’s lemony pasta dish. She incorporates pancetta, cheese and plenty of fresh lemon for a creamy, salty and tangy crowd-pleaser.
Recipe by: The Pioneer Woman ~ Ree Drummond

    Ingredients:

    Pasta and Sauce:
    Kosher salt
  • 1 pound orecchiette
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
  • 3/4 cup pancetta cubes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Pecorino

  • Pangrattato (Crispy Crumbs):
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest plus 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • For the pasta and sauce: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta, thyme, garlic and onions and cook until the onions soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the the lemon zest and juice and bring to a simmer. Stir in the peas and cream, bring to a simmer and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • For the pangrattato (crispy crumbs): Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the panko, tossing to coat in the oil, and then season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the panko is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lemon zest and thyme and stir everything together.
  • Stir the Pecorino into the lemony sauce, then drain the pasta, add it to the skillet of sauce and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Sprinkle the pangrattato over the pasta and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve straight from the skillet.


recipe Breakfast Recipe: German Pancakes
Servings: 8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

Piping hot and puffy from the oven, this golden pancake made a pretty presentation for a skier's theme breakfast I hosted. Served with homemade buttermilk syrup, it's an eye-opening treat. Make several German pancakes if you're feeding a crowd, and keep in mind that my easy syrup tastes great on waffles and French toast too.
Recipe by: Renae Moncur ~ Burley, Idaho
    Ingredients:
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Syrup:
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Confectioners' sugar
  • Fresh blueberries, optional

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 400°. Place first 4 ingredients in a blender; process just until smooth.
  • Pour melted butter into a 13x9-in. baking dish; tilt dish to coat. Add batter; bake, uncovered, until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place butter, sugar, buttermilk, corn syrup and baking soda in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
  • Remove pancake from oven. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve immediately with syrup and, if desired, fresh blueberries.
