The Main Event

I found Black Bean Pasta at Shop Rite and decided to create a few recipes and we loved them all.  I love the flavors together of this Asian black bean pasta and you can enjoy hot or cold.

Baccala is a family tradition and it does take work to prepare but most Italians will serve this dish on Christmas Eve. Of course you can find baccala at my favorite Italian market in Hartford – D&D Market!

Try my Bacon wrapped chicken and sage recipe for your next dinner party! You can prepare it in a flash and the presentation will look like it took you hours! This is a great paleo recipe or gluten free to enjoy without the guilt and all the flavor! Enjoy..

I wasn’t sure what to prepare for dinner and saw Cod at my local fish market and quickly thought about fennel and created this amazing meal. It was so easy to prepare this Baked Cod and Fennel in a Package and it is a great Paleo Recipe for a quick weeknight meal or any night.

Actually how cute are these packages to serve your guests. Everyone can open their own package and squeeze their lemon wedge to enjoy this delicious meal!

There is so much flavor in my balsamic glazed vegetable meatballs I am never sure if I should serve them as an appetizer or as a main course. Either way these meatballs are a winner…….

One pot meals are the best for a quick healthy paleo dinner!  Give this one a try and go ahead and use up all the vegetables you have in your refrigerator (or freezer).

Blackened fish tacos have become favorites for so many and now you can find it on most menus. I love these!!

Butternut squash risotto is the perfect fall side with your favorite Italian. I love to pair it with pork or chicken.

As an Italian there is nothing better than a pasta dish full of flavor! Try my Calabrian Sausage, fava beans and pasta dish! It will be a proud pleasure and even better the next day for lunch!

I am fortunate to have the best Italian market in our area with the freshest meats and Italian food. If you are in Hartford check out my friends at D&D Market.

This is a great stove to table dinner! I love using my Le Creuset Braising Pan for this recipe! Then of course adding fresh Parmesan cheese with my Kitchen IQ grater!

I used dried herbs in this recipe because I always have them on hand. If you have fresh just chop and double the measurements.

I decided to make this delicious caramelized shallot meatloaf muffins as individual servings. This way I can freeze the leftovers and just take out one at a time to enjoy later. You can also form this meatloaf on a baking sheet or use a loaf pan. As a bigger meatloaf I would bake for 45-55 minutes.

I love chicken cacciatore and thought combining the flavors but using chicken breast and tossing with the black bean pasta would be the perfect combination to enjoy for dinner!

This is a great way to use left over chicken. I make this after a whole roasted chicken. I cut one breast off immediately and save for another recipe. My Paleo Chicken Enchilada is a quick and healthy dinner. I you want to offer tortillas just have them to the side!

This chicken milanese is a 30-minute dish! Add a little arugula salad on top. You can also use veal chops with this recipe. If using a veal chop, ask your butcher to butterfly it for you.

You can also prepare this dish gluten free by using GF breadcrumbs. You can also prepare this as a paleo recipe by using almond meal and adding more dried Italian herbs for the same great taste!

This recipe is a one-pan wonder and very easy for any night of the week. You can serve it with pasta, potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

On pot meals are my favorite – Especially when the pot can go from the stove to the table. Using my Le Creuset Braising Pan makes it easy and looks beautiful..

Don’t you just love Paleo Italian Recipes! I know we do over here at Cindy’s Table!!

I was about to go grocery shopping and knew that I should have lunch first! Rule #1 eat before you go food shopping… I had all of these ingredients handy and it is cold outside so this was a perfect lunch for me!

I make this type of dish often to use up left over chicken and sausage or you can purchase fresh and sauté for this delicious Paleo recipe. You can also use zucchini if you have some handy!

The combination of chicken sausage, spinach, artichokes with herbs and garlic make this an amazing pasta dish for lunch or dinner.

I sometimes use spaghetti squash, our favorite pasta! There are also some great gluten free pastas available now!

This pasta recipe is great for using up leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner! My kids always loved pasta bakes for dinner and so did the entire cheerleading team.. I miss those days..
