No-Boil Pumpkin Ziti

I have shared plenty of pasta recipes on the blog. Pasta bakes and stovetop pasta recipes of all types can be found in the blog archives.

I wanted something easy and delicious using ground chicken or turkey that also took advantage of summer flavors, and I knew bruschetta would be the perfect topping for a burger.

Gnocchi Alla Vodka

Pasta is my emergency meal. I always have at least one box of pasta in the pantry, as well as some ingredients to whip up an easy sauce.
