I'm looking for some new recipes that have gone over well and you really enjoy and not just websites. I've gone over a number of them but prefer actual recommendations if possible.
I am a vegetarian but I don't mind meat dishes as I cook for my family on holidays and do a meat dish. I love side dishes and can alter many that include meat products so feel free to share those.
I love things like garlic, onion, tomato and basil, cheese. I also love twists on traditional foods. Desserts are more than welcome too. Just looking for some fun things to make. I'm a fairly good cook/baker so don't mind if they are a bit involved.

Prepare lasagna macaroni as directed on package.
Lightly greased large baking dish and spoon in enough meat sauce to cover the bottom, top with strips of cooked lasagna, spread enough cheese filling to cover lasagna. Repeat layers, ending with meat sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. (This can be prepared the day before if desired. Seasoning seems to blend better when prepared the day before.)
Refrigerated lasagna must stand at room temperature for about 1 hour, then bake for about an hour in 350 degree oven.
Ingredients 1 pound fusilli pasta 1/4 cup olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped 8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, halved 1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.
Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve. I love this dish its quick and easy and for meat eaters just add grilled chicken takes less then 30 min
