Ingredients

â¢ 1 cup all-purpose flour

â¢ 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

â¢ 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

That sounds good Laurel! I really like it that the recipe said to cook it for a short period of time, instead of 20 minutes like in other quinoa recipes. Because of this group, I learned to cook it a short period and we love the crunchy texture of it. 20 minutes would be horrible IMO. CookÂs Illustrated Baked Ziti On the show, they said that cutting the mozzarella into cubes instead of shredding it, ensures that it gets melted throughout the ziti and this becomes a nice gooey recipe. 1 pound whole milk cottage cheese or 1 percent cottage cheese 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 3 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 cups) Table salt 1 pound ziti or other short, tubular pasta 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 5 medium garlic cloves , minced 1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves 1 teaspoon sugar Ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch 1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese , cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups) Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk cottage cheese, eggs, and 1 cup Parmesan together in medium bowl; set aside. Bring 4 quarts of water to boil in large Dutch oven over high heat. Stir in 1 tbsp salt and pasta; cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta begins to soften but is not yet cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain pasta and leave in colander (do not wash Dutch oven). 2. Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and oregano; simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in Â½ cup basil and sugar, season with salt and pepper. 3. Stir cornstarch into heavy cream in small bowl; transfer mixture to now-empty Dutch oven set over medium heat. Bring to simmer and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add cottage cheese mixture, 1 cup tomato sauce, and Â¾ cup mozzarella, then stir to combine. Add pasta and stir to coat thoroughly with sauce. 4. Transfer pasta mixture to 13- by 9-inch baking dish and spread remaining tomato sauce evenly over pasta. Sprinkle remaining Â¾ cup mozzarella and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over top. Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. 5. Remove foil and continue to cook until cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes longer. Cool for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons basil and serve.

We really like this salad, and I've served it for company, and just for us. Takes time, because of the roasting of the veggies. Orzo With Roasted Vegetables (Barefoot Contessa) SERVES 6 * 1 small eggplant, peeled and 3/4 inch diced * 1 red bell pepper, 1 inch diced * 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 inch diced * 1 red onion, peeled and 1 inch diced * 2 garlic cloves, minced * 1/3 cup olive oil * 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt * 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper * 1/2 lb orzo pasta or rice-shaped pasta For the dressing * 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons) * 1/3 cup olive oil * 1 teaspoon kosher salt * 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper To assemble * 4 scallions, minced (white and green parts) * 1/4 cup pignolis, toasted (pine nuts) * 3/4 lb good feta, 1/2 inch diced (not crumbled) * 15 fresh basil leaves, cut into julienne Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the eggplant, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan. Roast for 40 minutes, until browned, turning once with a spatula. Meanwhile, cook the orzo in boiling salted water for 7 to 9 minutes, until tender. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the roasted vegetables to the pasta, scraping all the liquid and seasonings from the roasting pan into the pasta bowl. For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and pour on the pasta and vegetables. Let cool to room temperature, then add the scallions, pignolis, feta, and basil. Check the seasonings, and serve at room temperature.

Happy Valley Cherry Cake Serves/Makes: 18 Ready In: 1-2 hrs Ingredients: 1 package plain lemon cake mix (18.25 ounce size) 8 tablespoons butter -- melted 1 cup whole milk 3 large eggs 1 can pitted tart red cherries packed in water (14 1/2 ounce size) 6 tablespoons cherry juice (reserved after draining cherries) 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon almond extract Directions: Lightly mist a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Set pan aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cake mix, melted butter, milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping sides down if needed. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing it out with spatula. Drain cherries, reserving water, and place them on top of batter, spacing them out in pan. Place pan on middle rack of preheated oven. Bake cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 43 to 45 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool while you prepare the sauce. For cherry sauce, place reserved cherry juice, water, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and almond extract in a saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Cut cake into squares and use a metal spatula to flip them out onto serving plates, upside down. Pour cherry sauce over squares and serve. (Store cake without sauce, covered in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Prepare cherry sauce right before serving.)
