Rosemary Olive Boule, with Sundried Tomatoes

Here is another variation on my “no knead, bake in a Dutch oven” bread. This time, I decided to make a Rosemary (from my own garden) Olive and Sundried Tomato variation. Does Rosemary from my garden count as ‘from my garden’ so ok to use as this week’s Cook/Bake-a-long? Well, even if it doesn’t, boy, is this loaf delicious. I’ve just been dipping it in olive oil, but I’ll bet that it will make a pretty yummy grilled cheese sandwich too!

Pea Pesto Parpadelle

I love this recipe. Not just because I love scallops (I definitely do) and not just because it is very pretty and colorful, but also because it is really easy to make and really versatile. You can make it with other veg thrown in (I’ve added parsnips and broccoli at various times) and the protein can be swapped out too — instead of scallops, you can totally do shrimp or chicken or turkey. I’ve never tried pork or beef, but I think they might work as well. Serve with rice; this is on the table in under 30 minutes!
