Old Mac

This recipe comes from the Le Bistro Montage, Portland, Oregon 

This is the recipe for grown-up macaroni and cheese from one of my favorite restaurants in Portland, Oregon, Le Bistro Montage under the Morrison bridge on the non-city side of the river.  It's easy and quick and very tasty!  I like to add cayenne and or 505 green chili to make spice it up.  The recipe for their super spicy mac and cheese is listed in the link as well.  The leftovers freeze well and can be heated up with a small amount of milk or cream.  Delicious!

Orecchiette with Greens, Mozzarella and Chickpeas

This recipe comes from Food and Wine, September 2011

As you can see, I did not use Orecchiette pasta, but Penne pasta for this recipe, since that was what I had in the pantry.  It was very tasty and fresh none-the-less.  The crispy chickpeas is a nice addition.  The tomatoes and chard are fresh and this will be a great recipe for summer when we get lots of chard and tomatoes from the garden and CSA.
