Who doesn’t love pasta? We eat a lot of it and most of the time we want it quick and easy. Many of these recipes can be made in well under 30 minutes.
A spicy and rich Pasta with Red Pesto dish that is ridiculously easy peasy to make. Every time I go to the Italian market I come out with at least twelve fun new pasta shapes. I swear that is not an exaggeration. This Zitoni was from my last trip, and […]
This Udon Stir Fry is all about the textures for me. It checks all the boxes. Sweet… salty… a little chew from the noods… very very yummy. Everyone around here loves this dish and I love making it. I mean, who doesn’t love a one pan meal? My secret weapon […]
I was trying to think of a corny joke for this Creamy Corn Pasta but couldn’t come up with one.Lord that was bad. Sorry. What’s also not funny is how good this is! This should be your Friday night pasta this week while the corn is good. Or any other […]
15 Minute Mushroom Soba Noodles. Because I’m currently living in a heat wave and want to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. Anyone feel me? How about just 15 minutes of effort that ends in a big bowl of noodley deliciousness with the most amazing caramelized garlicky […]
Friends, what I did here is pretty cool… I managed to take a simple classic dish like a Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino recipe and make it both easier and harder at the same time. Harder? Because I added lemon, olives and cheese. All good ideas, I think you’ll agree. […]
My goal was to make these turkey meatballs as tiny as these bocconcini balls. My lack of patience and low tolerance for fiddly things made them the size you see here. You can make them smaller if you are a better person than I am. And please invite me over if […]
Cauliflower for one kid. Chicken for the other. And everybody loves orzo… but creamy lemon orzo??? Winner winner bowl food dinner!! So many delicious flavours going on here, super easy to make and a great way to please the whole fam. I really believe that bowl meals are the key […]
Why Friday Night? Because if you should choose to cook on Friday… **I actually think you shouldn’t and that we should be working harder to make #nocookfriday a thing.** But IF you should choose to, this is what you should make. 10 minutes. And it is heaven. Capellini takes all […]
Two whipped cheeses. Plus Parmesan. Two kinds of gnocchi (because I found these cute little mini gnocchi that were way too hard to resist). Pools of browned butter. And lemon. You know, to keep it light. 😉 This sounds way more complex than it is. It’s really super easy, so […]
Friends, did you know that real Fettuccine Alfredo does not have cream in it?!! I did not know that. Absolutely no idea. I’m still putting cream in it, I just thought it was interesting. This is a healthier version of non-traditional Fettuccine Alfredo but you would never know it. Blending the […]
Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat.
