Creamy, dreamy basil cream sauce with no dairy? Believe it! This "alfredo" sauce is made with cauliflower and has two whole cups of fresh basil blended in, so you can make great use of your summer basil harvest! When I first tried Pinch of Yum's cauliflower "Alfredo" sauce, I was blown away. Guys, you really would never know this is a veggie-based sauce. It's so delicious, you can just eat ...
Pasta
Shrimp and Green Pea Scampi
Shrimp scampi is a quick weeknight meal with most ingredients you may have in your refrigerator or pantry. We changed this traditional recipe up by adding some green peas for a pop of color! I always try to keep frozen vegetables and frozen protein in the freezer for those weeknights when you do not have time to got to the grocery store or want to do something simple and easy. You could also ...

This was also a perfect opportunity to use those fresh picked apples from the orchard in the fall (pictured below) to add some color and nutrition to an ...
Sausage + Mushroom Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter Sauce
Just as Oprah loves bread, I. LOVE. PASTA. Honestly, I could eat it everyday and I have to make a conscious effort not to. But on those days I indulge, I don’t hold back. As I was thinking of fall and fall ingredients I wondered how to incorporate mushrooms into a pasta dish. A mushroom sauce would have been easy to whip up, but I felt the urge to push myself to do something I had not done before… ...
Smoked Pumpkin Mac + “Cheese”
Delicious creamy pumpkin pasta without any cheese AND with added fiber? Believe it! I don't know about you, but this time of year I get really fired up about all of the pumpkin products. And then eventually I get burned out on all the pumpkin-y sweets. This creamy mac and "cheese" is a great savory pumpkin option. An full can of fiber-full pumpkin goes into the sauce. The smoked paprika ...
