This is a quick little review of Lidl's brand Italiamo Fresh Tagliatelle Pasta and Chopped Tomatoes with Peppers and Chili. See Also: Lidl Review Blog Nothing screams quick weeknight dinner quite like pasta and jarred sauce, but unfortunately the results are often underwhelming despite doing the job of filling the household bellies. :)  Italiamo Brand Tagliatelle + Chopped Tomatoes with Peppers and Chili from Lidl Portugal With little additional effort, you may be able to elevate your easy weeknight dinner idea and if that's the case, why wouldn't you give it a shot?! The swap out for fresh tagliatelle pasta and a quick homemade meat sauce made all the difference over here. Fortunately in Portugal fresh pasta at grocery stores like Lidl is very affordable. This package was 85 euro cents and served 2 of us perfectly. Easy Tagliatelle with Meat sauce "Recipe":Ingredients to make this at home:In a well heated frying pan primed with oil, simply fry up your ground meat with some salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of tomato paste (the tubes are the best!!) and cook it through before adding the can of chopped tomatoes. This particular can included peppers and chili which added a nice little kick. The fresh tagliatelle pasta needs just 3 minutes in boiling water to cook and guys, that is literally it. I did not even toss the two together, I just piled this super easy meat sauce on top of the fresh pasta, drizzled with olive oil, a little grind of crushed red pepper, a festive shake of the garlic powder and dinner was served! But if you are wondering what goes well with fresh pasta and meat sauce, a salad I always a great choice. Our colorful side salad was loaded with a combination of arugula, spinach, and iceberg with chopped red and green peppers, cucumbers, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and feta cheese crumbled on top. Simply dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for a light, bright touch! COST: |

Mericia of Melrie Jewelry generously hosted a private group cooking class with Luca Manfé. We all met up on zoom and set out to make homemade Mushroom Ricotta Ravioli! The class moved pretty quickly and we did a lot of simultaneous pasta rolling, cooking, and eating, so most of our pics are from making more raviolis from the rest of the pasta dough! |
Step 1: Make the Pasta Dough
It's best if you can get 00 pasta flour and a ratio of 100 grams to 1 large egg is generally a good place to start. (digital kitchen scales are the best) I guess making dough is a lot about how it feels and in time you will know if you need to add a bit more flour, an extra egg, or a few drops of water to get the consistency just right. The kneading took at least 15 minutes and then we wrapped up the ball of dough and let it rest at room temperature while preparing everything else.
Step 2: Make The Mushroom Ricotta Filling
Olive oil and a ton of sliced mushrooms went in a sauté pan with salt and pepper. Shallots, thyme, and garlic were added later followed by white wine. The mixture now needed to be chopped very finely. Our class didn't all have food processors, so we did the rustic, Italian grandma style chop on alarge cutting board with a good knife. Next time I would probably just save the time and use the food processor. Now we added ricotta, fresh grated parmesan, and parsley and did a final seasoning (salt + pepper) of the filling. then added one egg to the mix and put it in a pastry bag!

Step 3: Making The Ravioli
Clamp your pasta machine to your counter or table and make sure there is enough space for the dough you're rolling out! You'll want to start on the widest setting on the machine and work your way through the thinner settings. Work with a small piece of dough and keep the rest tightly covered so it doesn't dry out. You may need to add a dusting of flour in between to prevent the dough from sticking. Once the dough is rolled out, grab your pastry bag and squeeze filling along half of the dough, at least 1 inch apart. Brush pasta with whisked egg yoke and fold over the other half, carefully pressing the dough together and removing air pockets as you go. Use a cookie cutter, ring mold, or ravioli cutter to cut out each ravioli and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment (or silpat) and sprinkled with semolina flour and cover with a kitchen towel while you keep working.
Raviolis ready to be cooked!
Step 4: Cooking The Ravioli
In a large pot with salted, boiling water, add raviolis in batches and cook until they float to the top (about 90 seconds or around 3 minutes if frozen)
Step 5: Making The Butter-Sage Sauce
In a large sauté pan, add a few tablespoons of butter, sage leaves, and a couple ladles of pasta water, bring to a simmer and season with salt. As the raviolis boil, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and add them to the sauce with some more butter and a bit more pasta water if needed.You're just going to cook them and move them around until the sauce has covered them nicely! Serve with some grated Parm!
Left over raviolis topped with bacon :p
Bonus: The Egg Filled Ravioli!
Make a dip in the filling with your thumb and try to plop in a single egg yolk. If you can seal the ravioli well and cook it just right, when you slice it open you'll get a perfect runny egg to add richness to the sauce!

Plate it up! Hello Fresh Spicy Maple Chicken Recipe Review
Drizzle the maple syrup/crushed pepper mixture over the chicken and enjoy!
This recipe took exactly 40 minutes from start to final plating as seen below and most of it is hands off - one tray popped in the oven, one pot to boil potatoes. It came together really quickly and provided a hearty, balanced, and flavorful meal during a busy day! As it was cooked in a convention oven, I adjusted the temperature to be 25 degrees lower which worked well. The top still got a little toasty, but it all tasted great! This hello fresh recipe is a winner!

Easy Bacon Baked Potato Soup Recipe
Tips:
- Be sure to toss the potatoes in the oven early or be careful when you peel them/scoop out the cooked potatoes from the peel so you don't get burned on the hot potato skins or the steam!
FAQ:
How do you bake a potato?
Wash the potato and use a fork to poke a few holes into the potatoes to let out some steam. It's nice to rub them with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake them until tender, about 45-60 minutes.
You can wrap them individually in foil, if you'd like!
How long does it take to sauté onions?
According to BHG it takes about 5-7 minutes "to remove the harsh onion flavor and just barely start to sweeten the cooking onion"
Is it necessary to add garlic after onions when sautéing?
This article was interesting. According to their test, it's not as crucial as you might think. If you want a more garlicky flavor, add garlic a few minutes after the onions have been sautéing. If you want the garlic flavor to be more mellow, add garlic at the same time. Either way, just keep an eye on your heat level and make sure the garlic doesn't get overcooked/burned!
What is the correct temperature for soup?
According to Rouxbe, proper soup serving temperatures are
Hot Clear Soups: serve near boiling 210°F (99°C)
Hot Cream or Thick Soups: serve between 190°F to 200°F (88°C to 93°C)
Cold Soups: serve at 40°F (4°C) or lower.
An instant read thermometer is a great tool to have in your kitchen.

Sopa De Frijoles (Bean Soup) Recipe from El Salvador is filed under:
Beans • Soup • Family Recipes • Recipes • Meal Prep • Lunch • Dinner • El Salvador • Central America
Beans • Soup • Family Recipes • Recipes • Meal Prep • Lunch • Dinner • El Salvador • Central America
A huge thanks to Keisha from Kansas, USA for submitting this family recipe for
Salvadoran Sopa De Frijoles (bean soup)!
This recipe was passed down to her from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. How cool is that?!
Salvadoran Sopa de Frijoles is traditionally cooked over an open flame with a clay pot. You can imagine how much flavor that imparts. Keisha nicely explains the difference as being "like cooking a steak in your kitchen or on the grill.... Either way, it's still pretty tasty!"
How to make Sopa de Frijoles
Find Keisha's family recipe below. I made a few modifications starting with the beans. I couldn't get the small red beans via Instacart so I got pink beans. I went ahead and sautéed the onion and garlic a bit before adding the rinsed beans to the pot.

Once the beans were added, just go ahead and add the water!

|
Add water to the pot!
|
Bring the sopa to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for a couple hours
|
Stir and taste occasionally to check for texture and seasoning
|
Every now and again I gave it a stir and a taste. To finish the soup you an add any toppings you like. I actually added a bit of fried salami and some cheddar cheese! This soup is easy and hearty and very affordable. It reignited my confidence in cooking beans from dry instead of using cans! I love that you can mix it up with this recipe by adding whatever topping you're in the mood for or whatever you want to use up in the fridge. It would be cool to try it cooked in a clay bean pot, too!
Thanks so much to Keisha for sharing this recipe!
