I Heart Cooking Clubs: Using Your Noodle

Using Your Noodle

This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we're using our noodles!

ALL NOODLES ARE INVITED TO THE PARTY!

With numerous pasta recipes ranging from soups and salads to appetizers, main courses, and even desserts, there is a Giada recipe for you! You can even choose to use your noodle for breakfast in a frittata! The possibilities are endless.

Some of you might even be feeling adventurous enough to try your hand at some homemade pasta. If so, Giada has a great instructional video on how to make fresh pasta HERE.

If you really want to have fun using your noodle, you could try your hand at something crispy and crunchy like these crave-worthy Fried Ravioli with Marinara.

Now that's a good way to use your noodle!

Need a quick pasta recipe that is ready in less than 20 minutes? There is bound to be a "quickie" pasta dish to get you through the week.

HAVE FUN USING YOUR NOODLE!

Please choose and post your Giada recipe by Sunday, February 20th. Don't forget to link your post for this week's theme with Mr. Linky below, so everyone can see how you used your noodle! Also remember to leave a comment after each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.

New to IHCC and not sure what a permalink is? Check out our Welcome post.

If you missed "That's Amore" last week, be sure to head on over and see how everyone expressed their love.

Don't forget, we're cooking through the recipes of Giada De Laurentiis right now...so if you've linked up, be sure that you've used/adapted one of her many recipes for your post!

List of All Twenty-Eight I Heart Cooking Clubs Chefs!

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
