spacer40 Best Recipe Contest for December's recipe contest is: Homemade Spaghetti


Spaghetti is a long, thin, solid, cylindrical pasta. It is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Like other pastas, spaghetti is made of milled wheat (sometimes enriched with vitamins and minerals) and water. The pasta is usually white because refined flour is used, but whole wheat flour may be added. Spaghettoni is a thicker form of spaghetti, while spaghettini is a thinner form. Capellini is a very thin spaghetti, while vermicelli refers to intermediate thicknesses.
You can make yours with or without meat balls,

(#5711204) Hasselback Potatoes
Posted by hoof hearted on 16 Sep 2025 at 3:35AM
This potato dish is often sold in higher class restaurants and definitely one of my favorites. Its easy to make too. If you don't know what hassleback potatoes are, here's a picture of some. Not mine though. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREkiwVs17lLICZI53Y9-bFcG304MKRGa3rKa94cr6ZbhgJIDm6YlqLtmA&s=10

Ingredients
6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh sage leaves
Garlic Butter, melted (basically I chop up a bunch of garlic and mix it in with softened butter and keep in the fridge)
Fresh parsley, for serving
Red pepper flakes, for serving

Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place one of the potatoes on a cutting board and lay butter knives or chopsticks along both of its long sides. Use a sharp knife to cut the potato crosswise into ⅛-inch-thick slices, stopping when your knife reaches the butter knives or chopsticks so that the potato stays intact at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. If you look at the picture link above, you'll get an idea what we're looking for.
2 Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and use your hands to coat, doing your best to get the oil and seasonings in between the potato slices. Slide a sage leaf into each of the cracks between the potato slices. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and roast for 50 minutes.
3 Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush with the garlic butter. Roast for another 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender in the middle and crisp around the edges. Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve with more garlic butter on the side.
