Gaudet's
Favorite Recipes. The Gaudet's love to eat good food. Meals are a time to enjoy special recipes and to visit with each other. Through the years we have had many celebration meals for such occasions as someone coming home after being away, a daughter getting a job, or just for Friday night. Here are recipes that we love. There are many more. |
2. Yummy Spring
Pasta
(the one we had the night L & J got back from
Mexico)
From Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
|
|
Heat water for pasta. Heat half the oil and
butter over low heat. Add scallions, lemon zest, thyme,
and a bit of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally.
Slice tips off asparagus, then cut up the rest. When water boils, add some salt and the asparagus and cook 3-4 min. Scoop out asparagus and add to pan. Add cooked pasta. Raise heat and mix in oil, pine nuts, parsley, chives, pepper, and some cheese. Serve. Eat. For a similarly seasonal dessert, you can make Rhubarb Fool (below). |
3. Rhubarb Fool
Get some rhubarb from Nana. Wash it. Cut into 1" pieces.
Put in a pan with some sugar and the juice of 1 orange, plus
some orange zest if Mom isn't looking. You can add some cloves
too. Turn on medium heat and boil until amorphous. Taste to see
if it needs more sugar. Let cool. Whip some cream. Put rhubarb
in glasses and put whipped cream on top. Mmmmm.
