Chinese Chili and Scallion Noodles – Quick & Easy Weeknight Treat

Chinese Chili and Scallion NoodlesChinese Chili and Scallion Noodles…not sure where I originally found this recipe (I believe it was Milk Street)…it’s so quick and easy, you can throw it together in about 30 minutes using ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it’s just incredibly delicious. I really like it with udon noodles, but you can also use lo mein or spaghetti if that’s what you have. It’s really hard to mess this one up, but just make sure you keep a close watch on the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes as they cook because they can go from golden brown and tasty to burned and bitter in a matter of seconds. As long as you do that, you’ll have the perfect week-night meal.

Chinese Chili and Scallion Noodles is one dish you’ll go back to again and again!

Garlicky Buttery Shrimp and Pasta

This is a simple one pan (if you don’t include the pot the pasta is cooked in) weeknight-type recipe that comes together quickly (about 30 minutes) and tastes terrific. The trick of adding a little baking soda to the shrimp before sautéing insures that they will remain juicy, plump and tender when cooked (thank you SeriousEats). Serve this with garlic bread and a salad and you have an easy, delicious, relatively healthy meal. The combination of shrimp, garlic, butter and parsley is really hard to beat…and the leftovers (if there are any…I doubt it) taste great the next day!
