Fudge Brownies



Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40-45 minutes

Grade: A

Make Again: Yes

Recipe Source: Baker's Banter (King Arthur Flour)

I've already reviewed many brownie recipes (that I love) but I'm always willing to try a new one! This one is very good. There is a little bit more work than some because you heat the butter and dissolve the sugar in it, but still fairly easy. I like a fudgy brownie, so this is a recipe I will definitely use again.

Baked Pasta with Spinach Ricotta and Prosciutto

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Grade: B+

Make Again: Yes

Recipe Source: Everyday Food (2004)

This isn't my favorite baked pasta dish, and it can get a little dry if you aren't careful. However, I do make it occasionally for two reasons. 1) It uses up milk, which I often have too much of, and 2) it is very, very simple to make. The only real prep needed is to cook the pasta, grate the parm and dice the proscuitto. Other than that it is just mixing everything up and putting in the pan to bake.

The most important ingredient is the proscuitto. It is what flavors the dish, so if you like that, you may like this too.
