Goat Cheese Pasta and “Slutty Brownies”

April 17, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

I love to cook and bake, mostly bake but I will cook anything that includes my favorite savory ingredient, cheese. After all I did spend the majority of my life in Wisconsin where award winning cheese is being produced daily.

Wisconsin Cheese Board from The Wisconsin Dairy Council

This weekend, after my friend Marcia went home I cooked and baked up a storm, it helps me relax and to think. One of the first things I made was this fabulous Goat Cheese Pasta. I have been searching for this recipe ever since I had a similar dish at a restaurant in Fernandina Beach, FL at P.L.A.E ( People laughing and eating).

Michael Symon’sMacaroni and Goat Cheesefrom The Chew

Ingredients:

2 cups of shredded cooked chicken

1 tablespoon of kosher salt

1 quart of heavy cream

2 tablespoons of rosemary

2 pounds of rigatoni

8 ounces of goat cheese

Directions:

 In large saucepan pour cream, add salt and Rosemary, cook over high heat to just a simmer, than reduce heat to medium and reduce by half. In the meantime boil water for pasta and add a bit of salt. Add the chicken to the sauce mixture and cook for about 30 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Cook pasta for 12 minute or until done. Add goat cheese to pot of sauce and then add drained pasta. Toss mixture and add to plates.

NOTE: I do not eat chicken so I omitted that from my recipe.

The pasta is delicious, the tang of the goat cheese and the infusion of rosemary makes a perfect match. I think this may be my favorite new pasta dish. I do hope that you try it!

And for dessert, go to my other blog, Once Upon A Chocolate Life and try these yummy brownies ( the name is not mine).

I hope you try these easy recipes, let me know if you do. I would love to know what you think!

Have a fabulous day!

    I will definitely try the pasta dish. I have already tried the brownies (I found the recipe on Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen). I really didn't think they were as good as I'd hoped they would be. Maybe it was chef error, not sure.
    Thanks for the recipe.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect?

Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
