\"Stuffed<\/p>\n

For years I have cooked by haphazardly following recipes, substituting ingredients for what I have in the fridge or pantry and eliminating those that I deem superfluous or simply don’t have on hand, but always, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, simple preparation, and complementing flavors.<\/p>\n

For my blog, I attempt to measure my wanton approach but, as with anything you cook, you should always feel free to make adjustments in ingredients and spices to please your own palate : ) For example, I love pancetta and the robust flavor and saltiness that just a little bit adds to pasta and vegetable dishes, but if you don’t eat meat, leave it out – these mushrooms will still be divine!<\/p>\n
