If you don’t like lamb, you could substitute ground beef. Greek Lamb and Orzo 1 lb ground lamb 2 cans (16 oz) diced tomatoes 1 medium stalk [...]

Pronto Parmesan Pasta
We make this pasta in the summer when zucchini is plentiful in our garden, and we need ways to use it up. In the winter we use zucchini from the grocery store, or substitute grated carrot instead. Just cook the carrot a bit longer than you’d cook the zucchini. I’m sure any gluten free pasta [...]
