From my cookbook Weeknight/Weekend, this penne alla vodka, or penne with vodka sauce, is one of those no-food-in-the-house dinners that I make over and over again. Aside from the fresh basil – and even that grows abundantly on my patio during the summer – every ingredient for this dish is always on hand in my kitchen….
Creamy Poblano Pepper Pasta
By Gretchen McKay From Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Except for some cherry tomatoes and a few zucchini, my garden was a bust this summer.

Soft Tomatoes? Turn Them Into This Fast, Fresh, Ultra-Summery Pasta
My children have an arrangement with an area farmer. After the weekly farmers market, he supplies them with surplus produce, which they sell at a roadside stand in front of our house. They split the proceeds 50/50, with the farmer getting half, and the boys dividing the other. What’s in it for me, you ask?…
