#4 – Top 10 Tortellini Recipes
I love to use tortellini to add a little extra to a pasta dinner. While you can, of course, make your own tortellini, these recipes all use store-bought pre-made tortellini. You can go fresh or frozen, but I would avoid the dried variety. The dried ones are typically much smaller and do not offer as much filling. A majority of the recipes I have pulled together in this Top Ten Tortellini Recipes list use just a cheese tortellini. You can always use the type you prefer – meat and/or veggie filled. I also like to do more than just boil the tortellini to cook them – so you might some interesting applications in this collection of tortellini recipes.
#3 – 10 Recipes Using Ground Pork
In our house we have basically 3 meats on constant rotation – Chicken, Beef and Pork. And I love to utilize the ground versions of each. We definitely use other types of meat like turkey and seafood, but not as often. So for this Recipe Collection, I want to share with you my favorite Ground Pork recipes. Ground pork is such a great canvas for so many different cuisines. I hope you find a few on this list to add to your rotation.
#2 – Smoked Sausage & Mozzarella Pasta
Need a simple but flavor packed weeknight meal? Then you came to the right post. You can think of this like an adult version of hot dogs with mac and cheese. By replacing the hot dogs with smoked sausage and the cheddar with mozzarella. Then add in a little kick from some red pepper flakes. This recipe for Smoked Sausage & Mozzarella Pasta is going to make your average weeknight a little bit extra special.
#1 – Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry
I don’t usually make recipes that require a super specialized piece of cooking equipment (except maybe slow cookers), but I am so in love with my Blackstone griddle, I can’t help it. For the most part the other things I have made thus far can be made on the stove top, however this Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry really does the need the wide open flat space of the griddle. It is a total game changer for making meals like this for the whole family at once. By the by – this is not an ad for Blackstone products at all – my hubs got me one for my birthday this year and I just love it so very much.
