  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Treat yourself to the luxurious creaminess of pasta Alfredo with this easy-to-follow recipe. Made with simple ingredients, this classic Italian dish combines perfectly cooked pasta with a velvety smooth Alfredo sauce for a decadent and satisfying meal. Here’s how you can make your own at home.

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces of fettuccine pasta (or pasta of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Tagine is a tasty North African dish that often consists of stewed meat and aromatic flavors such as coriander and apricots. It is a wonderful dish to have at a dinner party as you can make a big batch of it. It’s delicious with bread dipped in or served with giant couscous. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (or substitute with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tin of diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup of sliced almonds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet or tagine pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken (or tofu/chickpeas) to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly and releasing their aromatic flavors.
