Tender pasta shells are coated in a creamy blend of ricotta, cream cheese, and Parmesan, layered with a savory marinara and ground beef sauce, and topped with golden, bubbling mozzarella—what’s not to love?

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more for cooking pasta

Directions:

Gather all ingredients.

    Unstuffed Shells Pasta Bake ingredients on a marble counter
    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain well and set pasta aside.
    2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees F). Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch oven-safe baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
    3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add ground sirloin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is lightly browned but not fully cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add onion and 1 tablespoon garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
    4. Reduce heat to medium; stir in marinara sauce, and cook, stirring occasionally, just until beginning to simmer, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
    5. While beef mixture cooks, stir together ricotta, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, egg, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined. Gently fold in cooked pasta until evenly coated.
    6. While beef mixture cooks, stir together ricotta, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, egg, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined. Gently fold in cooked pasta until evenly coated.
    7. Spread remaining beef mixture over pasta layer, and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese.
    8. Cover baking dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling around the edges and cheese is just beginning to melt, about 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until cheese is fully melted and pasta is heated through, about 10 minutes more.
    9. Remove from oven and serve, garnished with basil.

    Everyone loves this homemade pancake recipe for breakfast, especially kids! My kids always request this easy pancake recipe that uses real ingredients and none of that weird boxed stuff that I’m not even sure what it’s made from.

    Best Pancake Recipe

    The best fluffy pancake recipe uses eggs differently than the others. I like to separate my yolks and my whites to give the texture the kind you find when you go out for a mega-brunch with those heavenly stacks of homemade pancakes.

    Pancake Ingredients

    This easy old fashioned pancake recipe calls for basic ingredients you likely already have in your cupboard.

    • Eggs – when learning how to make homemade pancakes, the best way to get perfect fluffy pancakes is to separate the yolks from the whites.
    • Baking powder – when making the best pancake mix, baking powder helps the flour rise so your pancakes have the same fluffy texture you crave from the pancake house.
    • Butter – melt it so it mixes in with that rich taste.
    • Sugar – any pancake batter recipe needs sugar to have that nice, sweet flavor you love.

    How do you Make Pancakes from Scratch

    Making a pancake recipe from scratch is just as easy as making them from a box, but they taste better and are better for you because they’re made from wholesome ingredients. You’ll mix the yolks in with sugar and melted butter, then add milk. You’ll then sift in the dry ingredients and stir it together.

    Then with your hand-mixer, you’ll whip up the egg whites and fold that into your other mixture. The key is to mix it well but not so much that there are no lumps. Lumpy pancake batter = the best pancakes from scratch!

    How do you make pancake mix from scratch?

    If you want to make old fashioned pancakes from scratch even easier, you can always prep your dry ingredients in advance. This way, when you and your crew want fluffy pancakes from scratch, you can simply mix in the wet ingredients. Make sure you store the dry ingredients of your homemade pancake mix recipe in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

    Easy Pancake Recipe

    If you’re a beginner, this is an easy pancake recipe with step by step instructions to get you started. Just because the eggs are separated doesn’t make it anymore complex. In fact, you’ll have it ready to cook in 10 minutes. From there, it’s another 10 minutes of cooking and you’ll soon have gorgeous stacks of easy homemade pancakes for the whole family to enjoy.

    Expert Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Pancakes

    • Check the baking powder – most people never think to check the expiration date on their baking powder. If your baking powder is old or expired, you will find that your pancakes will come out flat instead of fluffy.
    • Sift your dry ingredients – by sifting or whisking your dry ingredients you will avoid getting lumps in your pancakes and will end up with a deliciously smooth texture to your pancakes.
    • Do not overmix – when learning how to make pancake batter, avoid over-mixing the batter as it will change the texture of the pancakes.
    • Use oil – use oil or oil cooking spray over butter when cooking pancakes. Butter can brown and burn more easily than oil. Oil will give you even brown crispy edges without burning them.
    • Go big – when learning how to cook pancakes, use a large skillet. Pancakes spread in the skillet and small skillets make it very difficult to flip the pancake properly. I prefer my large 12 inch skillet as it gives you much more room to get all the way under the pancake with the spatula.

    Homemade Lemon Cookies

    This is a splendidly flavorful, inviting cookie that’s bright and cheery during the blistery winter season, yet it’s also a cookie fit for those warm summer months where you’ll find them reminiscent of a refreshing summer lemonade.

    They are fun to finish by decorating them how you like, you can drizzle icing in zigzag patterns over the top or take a spoonful and make a simple circle atop them. And no one said sprinkles are wrong either. However you finish them just don’t leave the icing off, it’s critical to the abundant lemony flavor of the cookie (as this portion of the cookie calls for the most lemon juice).

    If you like a more noticeably yellow cookie simply add a little natural yellow food coloring to the dough to mimic the hues of those sunny lemon peels. It won’t affect the taste but I think we tend to eat with our eyes first so a little yellow addition is a nice touch if you have it.

    Lemon Cookies Recipe Ingredients

    All purpose flour: A critical ingredient that builds the base of the cookie. I use unbleached all-purpose flour.

    Baking powder and baking soda: The combination of the two makes them spread less and creates a puffier cookie.

    Salt: This balances the sweetness of the cookie.

    Granulated sugar: What would cookies be without the sugar? It adds sweetness while also improving texture of the cookies.

    Unsalted butter: Salted butter will work as well just omit the salt from the recipe.Lemons: You use both the lemon zest and lemon juice for the recipe. Zest before cutting and juicing.

    Vanilla extract: This is compliments the lemon flavor.

    Powdered sugar: This super fine sugar creates a smooth, sweet finish for the cookies.

    How to Make Lemon Cookies

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

    Cream sugar, butter and zest: In a separate large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer blend together granulated sugar, butter and lemon zest until combined then increase speed to high and whip for about 1 minute until it’s slightly pale and fluffy.

    Add eggs and flavoring: Mix in egg and egg yolk, then blend in 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice and the vanilla extract (mixture may look a little separated because of the acidity that’s okay).

    You’ll find these are a dessert that fitting for so many occasions including birthday celebrations, holiday parties, weekend get togethers, or even just a simple weekend baking project with the kids.

    They have a satisfying, light, buttery crumb, a welcomed sweet vanilla flavor, and the silky buttercream polishes them off perfectly.

    If you need more you can easily double the recipe. Which I may recommend anyway and then you can freeze half the batch for a later time because anytime is a great time for mini cupcakes!

    Mini Cupcake Recipe Ingredients

    • All-purpose flour: If you want an even more delicate crumb you can use cake flour.
    • Baking powder: This is used to help the cupcake rise. I recommend using aluminum free baking powder for a non-metallic taste.
    • Salt: Salt really helps balance out the sweetness of the cupcake and keeps it from tasting flat.
    • Unsalted butter: Fat add richness to the cupcake and moisture. It also softens the crumb texture.
    • Granulated sugar: Sugar is a key ingredient in sweetening the cupcake.
    • Milk: I like to use whole or 2% milk for the recipe.
    • Egg: The egg helps to bind ingredients together and assists in rising.
    • Vanilla extract: A traditional ingredient in cupcakes and other baked goods that adds notes of sweet and welcomed natural flavor.
    • Milk: This is used for the moisture for the cupcake.
    • Powdered sugar: A very fine sugar also known as confectioners sugar that builds the foundation of the frosting and sweetens it.
    • Heavy cream: This adds a richness to the frosting while thinning and adding whipped volume once it’s blended in and aerated.

    Fun and festive Mini Pumpkin Pies! Made simple with flaky store-bought pie crust, canned pumpkin puree, and rich sweetened condensed milk. And of course they also include an ideal amount of those traditional warm pumpkin pie spices we crave.

    Mini Pumpkin Pie Recipe Ingredients:

    • Pie crust: I recommend using store-bought refrigerated pie crust for this recipe because it can be rolled quite thin and will bake through quickly without creating a soggy crust that homemade might yield.
    • Canned pumpkin: Don’t use pumpkin pie filling just plain canned pumpkin. Homemade fresh pumpkin puree will work as well, if however it’s excessively watery then strain it a bit first.
    • Sweetened condensed milk: The great thing about using this is it gives the pie filling a great texture. Plus it’s two ingredients in one, evaporated milk and sugar (and for some reason it does taste better than use the two ingredients separately).
    • Eggs: Eggs will help bind the ingredients in the pumpkin pie filling for a custard that sets. They are a key ingredient.
    • Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves are used here. Alternatively you can just use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice if preferred.
    • Salt: This will keep the pie from tasting flat.
    • Sweetened whipped cream: This is a must in my opinion, it always pairs beautifully with the flavors of pumpkin pie and adds a delicious creaminess.
    • How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies
    • Heat oven, prepare pan: Adjust oven rack to lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 20 wells of cupcake pans with non-stick cooking spray (dark cupcake pans work best if you have them for more golden brown crust).
    • Make the pumpkin pie filling: In a mixing bowl whisk together pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt until well combined. Rap bowl against counter to remove large air bubbles and set aside.
    • Cut crusts into rounds: Roll each pie crust out slightly thinner to about a 12-inch round. Cut into 3 1/2-inch rounds using a round cookie cutter.
    • Transfer rounds to prepared muffin pans and press pie crust into bottom and sides of muffin wells.
    • Gather scraps and re-roll thinly, cut more rounds from dough. You should be able to get 20.
    • Optional tip: With leftover scraps from here you can cut mini leaf or star shapes, spray with cookie spray and dust with cinnamon sugar then place those on the tops of the muffin pans between mini pies.
    • Fill crusts: Divide pumpkin pie filling among prepared crusts filling nearly to the top of each crust.
    • How Long to Bake Mini Pumpkin Pies
    • Bake til set: Bake the mini pies in preheated oven until set through to the center, about 18 to 22 minutes.
    • How to tell when they are done? They should no longer jiggle, and a toothpick inserted should come out without wet runny batter. The center should appear puffed and set, they will likely even crackle (but will deflate upon cooling).
    • Cool and transfer: Transfer to a wire rack and cool in pan 20 minutes. Use an offset spatula to slide pies out, then cool completely on wire rack.
    • Garnish: Top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with a pie crust decoration if using. Store pies in the fridge.

    Frequently Asked Questions for Mini Pumpkin Pies

    Can You Make These Ahead of Time?

    As with a traditional pumpkin pie these mini pumpkin pies can be made ahead of time and stored for several days. Just note that the crust texture is the best they day they are made, it’s nicely crisp and flaky the first day and will soften over time.

    What is the Best Way to Store Them?

    Let the mini pies cool completely then transfer and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Mini pumpkin pies can keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    These mini pumpkin pies are an exciting modern day twist on a nostalgic holiday classic! They are baked in a standard size muffin pan instead of as a whole pie. They are easy to make, faster to bake, and they’re a tasty treat for people of all ages.

    Their flavor is pleasantly pumpkin-y, deliciously sweet, and swirled with seasonal spice. And they have the best blend of textures with a crisp, flakey crust and a velvety, rich custard pie filling.

    They are easy to serve and completely fitting for parties. And aren’t most desserts just more enjoyable and charming when served in a mini individual serving size? They even seem fancier too.

    With their smaller size plan on two of these per person, or even three for a Thanksgiving or other holiday feast. And as always take those classic pumpkin pie flavors up a notch by serving them with a generous swirl of billowy sweetened whipped cream atop.

    Beef Bourguignon (which is pronounced beef boar-gin-yaan) is a signature French stew made up chunks of rich beef braised in a deeply flavored red wine based sauce, along with aromatic vegetables such as pearl onions and browned mushrooms. Often times it includes another rich meat such as pork (bacon!), and it also includes plenty of herbs for complementary fresh flavor. It is a humble, rustic style dish yet somehow at the same time if seems luxurious with such sophisticated flavor. It’s creates a main dish worthy of a holiday celebration!

    Beef Bourguignon Recipe Ingredients

    • Bacon: Preferably using regular cut bacon. Reserve the drippings as they are used in the stew for browning.
    • Chuck roast: Look for a chuck roast with thin veins of fat marbled throughout. Avoid those with extra large chunks of fat as you’d just have to cut and toss this and wont have as much usable beef for the dish.
    • Salt and black pepper: I season the roast somewhat light just so the dish isn’t overly salty in the end between the salted beef, bacon, broth, and soy sauce.
    • Yellow onion and pearl onions: You can use frozen pearl onions in this dish if you can’t find fresh. Or use 2 cups yellow onion and omit the pearl onions.
    • Garlic: Preferably use fresh garlic for best flavor, rather than bottled or dry.
    • Tomato paste: This adds hints of rich tomato flavor to the dish giving it a little more depth.
    • Flour: This will help thicken the sauce to more of a gravy-like consistency. If you want a thinner stock in the stew you could reduce it to as little as 1 Tbsp.
    • Dry red wine: Wine really makes this dish. I like to use Pinot Noir or Cortes du Rhone varieties.
    • Low sodium broth: Beef broth or chicken broth can be used here just be sure it’s a low-sodium option or even salt free because as the sauce reduces as it cooks the saltiness becomes more concentrated.
    • Soy sauce: This may not be traditional to beef bourguignon but you’ll often see chefs add it to stews for more depth of flavor. It’s that little secret ingredient.
    • Fresh herbs: Fresh thymerosemarybay leaf, and parsley are used in this dish. The bay leaf can be dried.
    • Carrots: I add more carrots than may be traditional because why not up the veggies so you don’t have to make an extra side of them?
    • Mushrooms: Cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms work well here.
    • Olive oil: Butter can be used as well, olive oil just seems less heavier when paired here with the fattiness of the bacon drippings and roast fat in the stew.

    There’s nothing better than sharing a plateful of oven baked chicken wings with friends and family during a big game. Or any time, really! This crispy chicken wings recipe is the perfect party snack, appetizer, or even main dish for a fun weeknight meal. And making them yourself costs much less than ordering them at a restaurant!

    Best Chicken Wing Recipe

    Once you try this best chicken wings recipe, you’ll never order wings when you’re out again. These baked wings come out with a crispy exterior and juicy interior plus tons of flavor that you’ll love licking off your fingers. These dry rub wings kick it up a notch!

    Baked Chicken Wing Ingredients

    • Chicken wings – Well, that’s obvious. What’s less obvious is you may not find them as drumettes and may have to use a butcher knife to cut them into the pieces you’re used to seeing.
    • Butter – Use unsalted, which will go on the baking sheet.
    • Flour – This is what makes your baked wings crispy.
    • Chicken wing seasoning – You’ll need smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This seasoning combination with flour makes for the perfect dry rub chicken wings.

    Chili Ingredients:

    • Ground beef – use lean and you won’t have as much fat to contend with (though it tastes better if it’s a little fatty like 80/20). A beef chili recipe is the traditional way to make chili.
    • Beans – I use both black beans and red kidney beans from the can in my recipe (make sure you drain them!).
    • Peppers – serrano peppers and sweet peppers add complexity to the flavors without making the recipe itself complex. If you prefer a spicy chili recipe then simply add in some extra peppers.
    • Chili powder – the original must-use ingredient though you can adjust it to your level of spiciness.

    Avocado toast is a simple pleasure that takes only 5 minutes to make. Despite being so easy, it is a tasty, nourishing, and wholesome way to fill up for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just a snack. My family loves this avocado toast recipe that’s so easy, the kids love to help with this family favorite!

    Best Avocado Toast Recipe

    This is the best avocado toast recipe because it keeps things simple. There’s nothing complicated about it. Why pay $10 or more at a restaurant or café to have avocado toast when you can make it at home for less and know what you’re putting into it?

    Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

    This is an easy recipe too, but avocado toast isn’t all that complicated to make. You’ll have them ready in just 5 minutes, making it the perfect meal for busy times or when you just don’t feel like a hassle.

    Avocado Toast Ingredients

    • Hass avocado – the star of the recipe!
    • Bread – which will become toasted to your own personal level of perfection
    • Eggs – soft boil, fry, or slice up hard boiled eggs to put on your avocado toast
    • Lime juice – prevents browning
    • Fresh cilantro – complements the avocado flavors
    • Seasonings – salt and pepper to taste along with the option for red pepper flakes really jazz it up

    How do you Make Avocado Toast from Scratch?

    Making avocado toast with egg is as easy as toasting the bread, prepping eggs the way you want them (poached, scrambled, or fried are delicious), and mashing up avocados with some ingredients that season them. Cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes bring out the naturally delightful taste of those avocados. Spread it on your toast and pile on the eggs and you have a filling meal.
