Pasta Soup. I have no time go grocery shopping, so it’s up to what’s in my pantry for dinner tonight. Here’s my favorite “oh no, I have nothing for dinner” recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp of olive oil

1 large yellow onion, diced

5 carrots, peeled and diced

4 stalks of celery, sliced

3 links of Italian sausage, removed from casing and crumbled

1- 28 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 Tbsp of salt

1 Tsp of black pepper

3 tsp of dried oregano

3 tsp of dried basil

8 cups of chicken broth

1 box of Ditalini pasta

In a large pot, begin to cook onion in the olive oil. Add carrots and celery. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. When fully cooked, add to the pot of vegetables.

Add diced tomatoes, seasonings and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add pasta and lower heat to medium-low. Allow the pasta to cook until al-dente or 15 minutes.

Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and grated parmesan cheese.

Wouldn’t you love to peel a hard-boiled egg perfectly each time?

Ingredients:

6 eggs

2 1/2 cups of cold water + 4 Tbsp

To cook the eggs:

Place eggs in a large saucepan and add 2 1/2 cups of water. Turn stove onto high heat and wait until the eggs start to boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover. Let sit 5 minutes. Drain.

To peel the eggs:

Place the egg in a small bowl filled with 4 Tbsp of water and roll for 2 seconds. (This will take the immediate heat off the shell so that you can handle it more easily.)

Gently tap the top and bottom of the egg on the counter to start cracking the egg shell. Then gently apply pressure to the egg as you roll it on all sides, back and forth under your hand. Be gentle, you only want to crack the outer layer of the shell.

Place the egg in a jar with a lid and gently shake.

Remove and peel.
