Cooking with Cameo, the cat. "As you all know, times are tough so I've had to take on a few sponsorships. For my first, I'd like to feature "Al Dente Pasta". The good people of Al Dente Pasta were kind enough to donate a few different kinds of their delicious pasta for me to try out some recipes." Check out their blog at: http://cameocam.blogspot.com/2011/12/cooking-with-cameo.html

rosy pappardelle

The inside scoop at Al Dente Pasta is that we put the final touches on our Golden Egg Pappardelle and Garlic Parsley Pappardelle. You’ll be happy to know that even though it is considerably wider than our fettuccine, it still cooks in 3-4 minutes. Because of its width, however, it holds up beautifully under sauces that were sometimes a little too heavy for our other noodles.

baked macaroni and cheese

So happy people are realizing that you can substitute fettuccine and pappardelle for shapes like penne, even in baked dishes. When using in baked dishes, just remember to undercook the pasta, so 2 minutes should be perfect.

carmelized noodle kugel

Although there are countless recipes for kugel, this one, baked in a tube or Bundt pan, reminds me of a gooey stick bun.

pasta frittata

Frittata is an Italian version of the omelet. Rather than folding ingredients into an egg pancake, the filling is mixed with the eggs and served as an egg pie, cut into wedges. Unlike omelets, frittata can be served warm or at room temperature.

This recipe, has been contributed by a real professional, Kristin Cole. Not only did she test the recipe 3 times, but her writing is beautiful, her photos are spectacular and her instructions are detailed. For this reason, I have decided to not edit a thing. Despite her level of expertise, she is very much in tune with all of us who love delicious, seasonal, simplicity. With this kind of dish, who cares if it’s cold outside!

pasta with roasted cauliflower

Every now and then I like to take a recipe from a cookbook and adapt it to be used with Al Dente Pasta. I use Al Dente Whole Wheat Fettuccine especially so I can prove that nearly any pasta recipe works with Al Dente. As you all know, I love roasting cauliflower, so this recipe was right up my alley.

One of Monique’s rules for easier living she lives by is: never eat a meal while standing. Pour yourself a glass of wine. Make a table setting. Then prepare to cook a meal that inspires you to sit down and make the meal a lovely moment in your oh-so-busy life.

Everyone loves the classic Fettuccine Alfredo. Obviously, it's not something that you would want to eat every week, but to indulge now and then is a wonderful thing!

This recipe has been in our repertoire since 1982, but it still is as contemporary as a pasta dish could be. Always a hit at a picnic or potluck.

egg linguine with bleu d’auvergne

It's no surprize that Tom DeVries gave us a recipe combining cheese with pasta. After all, his company, the R.Hirt Jr. Co. in Detroit's Eastern Market, is one of the area's finest distributors of specialty foods and cheeses. They were Al Dente's very first distributor back in 1982.
