Broccoli Walnut Penne
I absolutely love Pastabilities in Armory Square (downtown Syracuse). With all of the things that I cook, this is one restaurant that I still can't get enough of. Their spicy hot tomato oil is out of this world on freshly baked bread and their duck bacon pizza is absolutely amazing! One of my favorite pasta dishes there that seems pretty simple is the broccoli walnut sauce. Cook up your favorite pasta (I used whole wheat penne) in salts water. Steam a few heads of fresh broccoli florets. Toast some walnuts in the oven on a cookie sheet. For the sauce, I mixed up olive oil with both minced and sliced fresh garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as a handful of Parmesan cheese. Cook garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add the broccoli and well-drained pasta to the pan; toss until coated. Top with toasted walnuts and grated Locatelli cheese. This meal is great for the night before a big race, or just because, and so simple!!

- My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
