I always have my eye out for recipes that might be just a little offbeat (hey, I’m not Betty Crocker) especially ones that can be adapted to my Minnesota kitchen.

Tortellini Antipasto Salad
Here’s a Pasta Salad that’s fantastic for a party or gathering any time of year. This isn’t any plain ol’ boring Pasta Salad, though. This is Tortellini Antipasto Salad and it has it all! Lots of stuff. Lots of cheese. Lots of flavor and the best dressing you’ve ever tasted.

Pasta Carbonara
Creamy, cheesy, silky pasta flavored by a touch of bacon, or maybe more traditionally, Pancetta. Utterly simple, a handful of ingredients, most which you probably have on hand and only a few quick minutes to make? That’s Pasta Carbonara.
