White Wine Rotini

    So, I try to avoid pasta, but its forever my comfort food. When I was first learning how to live on my own, pasta was one of the few dishes I knew I could make. So I figured, why not try to spice up my pasta game with a simple pasta dish with a little flare.
    And yes, the fact there is wine in this helped me decide this is the recipe I want to try.

Ingredients
    1 cup of whole wheat panko bread crumbs
    1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup and 2 tbs of olive oil
    3 tsp of minced garlic, divided
    8 ounces of rotini pasta
    2 medium sweet onions, thinly sliced
    1/2 cup of white wine, I used chardonnay
    1/4 cup of vegetable stock

Directions
    Topping
        Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
        Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, tablespoons of oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic and a dash of salt in a small bowl.
        Spread the mixture in an even lawyer onto a baking sheet.
        Bake until golden brown, 5 minutes.

   Pasta
        Boil a pot of water and cook to directions.
        When done, drain and set aside.

   Wine sauce
         In a large skillet set to medium heat, heat the 1/4 cup of oil, until shimmering.
         Add sliced onions and cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown
        Add 1 1/2 teaspoon of garlic and wine.
        Cook down for 3 minutes
        Add stock and let it reduce for 5 minutes.

    Combine wine sauce and pasta in bowl, and top with pasta.

Susie, kicked out

Changes I Made!
      First and foremost, I knew looking at this I wanted to add a protein, so while the onions were cooking down I added pancetta, when the onion started to turn colors. Dog owners, this will attract your pup, and if you're like me, you'll have to kick them out!
      I also used regular bread crumbs, because I'm not the biggest fan of whole wheat anything.
      This recipe also has the ingredient prep in a weird order. I would start with the sauce, then go to the pasta and finally the topping last. 




This recipe is from Trisha's Table.

Spaghetti Carbonana

     I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce.      This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients     1 lb of spaghetti     2 tbs of olive oil     4 ounces of pancetta, chopped     4 large eggs     1/2 cup of grated Parmesan     Salt and pepper for seasoning     3 tbs of parsley Directions     Cook spaghetti according to packaging.      Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add oil and pancetta.     Brown pancetta for about 3 to 4 minutes.     Meanwhile, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.     Drain the excess grease off of pancetta.     Add...
