Gnocchi with Garlicky Spinach and Pine Nuts
In the spirit of the Christian celebration of Lent, which begins today, Ash Wednesday, try out this easy and flavorful meat-free dish. The whole thing is done in about half an hour and its textures - doughy, buttery, crunchy, clean and green - make a great dinner combo. No pine nuts? No worries. Go for chopped and toasted walnuts instead. No spinach? No problem. See if you can get your hands on some winter greens with small leaves or chop up some broccoli. Serve it up with some stinky hard cheese, like provolone or asiago, and enjoy. Read the whole recipe on OregonLive.com.

Broccoli Pesto Spaghetti
All this talk of gardening today gave us at CT a hankering for the pesto. But, alas, with no basil in season here in Connecticut and our stash of frozen pesto from last summer dwindling we were forced to search for other alternatives - and viola - we found this interesting alternative from Good Housekeeping. We suggest tossing in another clove of garlic and a bit of the dried basil to give the pesto a deeper level of flavor. Read the whole recipe here in Good Housekeeping.

Risotto just isn't the same with the regular white stuff. Read the whole recipe here.
