My god, is this pasta - a variation on a recipe called "Crack Pasta" submitted by reader Luisa - ever good. I made it for Kendrick and myself last night, and at 11PM I was still sort of pacing back and forth between couch and refrigerator, eating bits and pieces out of our Tupperware with my fingers.
Recipes
Cantaloupe & Basil / Fresh, Fab Starter
Last night, at the Trump SoHo Spa opening, I picked up one of these pretty little things, expecting it to contain something that would leave me cross-eyed and prepped for a crippling headache the next AM.
Mom’s Spinach Lasagna
This beauty is easy, relatively inexpensive (about $30 all told), and capable of feeding even the hungriest couple for at least three days (a week if you're flying solo). Oh, and it's the most delicious lasagna on the planet. I mean that.
Breakfast Inspiration / Exactly What I Want, Usually
This is pretty much a perfect breakfast, in my world...
Le Pain Quotidien / Sandwich Inspiration
We broke for lunch at Le Pain Quotidien, which is without question one of my favorite lunch spots in the city. Their iced green tea is excellent, and their pastries are pretty spectacular, but nothing beats their fresh, light, and slightly offbeat sandwich options.
