Hi Bryn – Thanks:) If you want to try with Romano cheese, I’d use half the amount and add another 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the blender. Otherwise, I’d be afraid it would be too dry. If you end up trying it, let me know how it turns out :)

First of all- i just discovered your blog and i am in LOVE. i think i’ve bookmarked over 20 recipes to try!
Also- i have a sensitive stomach and am only able to digest “hard” cheeses…would the flavors still be relatively the same if i were to use romano cheese instead of goat cheese?

Hi Diana!

My husband and I have the same dinner-for-dishes arrangement. He loves to eat, I hate to wash dishes. Works out perfectly.

As for the tofu, I’d dice it, then marinate it in olive oil, salt and pepper and bake it for like 30 – 40 minutes. Toss with the pasta and sauce at the end.
Or, you can just pan-fry it since that will be faster.

Miss you!

Hey Mel!
I’m using your recipes to help me be creative in my new dinner-for-dishes arrangement I have with my housemate. I go grocery shopping, he buys groceries, I cook dinner, he does dishes- it’s made us a much happier place!
I’m thinking this week we are really meat heavy and I was wondering how the baked tofu would work with this. How would you marinate or spice it up? Just cut it into chunks and replace the sausage? Not sure what to expect here…
D :)

I found your site researching pumpkin lasagna. I have yet to try that recipe, but I made this one last night and it was a HIT!! I have no leftovers. I love your recipes and can’t wait to see what is next!

I ran across your blog when I did a search for Fire Roasted Piquillo Peppers. I live in north Texas and we grill pretty much year round. Good luck with the grill. I love your recipes!

Gah, everything always takes too many dishes (especially, when you don’t have a dishwasher, like me!) This does seem like a great weekday meal.

This is such an interesting combination…sounds great and looks delicious! Walnuts do sound like they’d go perfectly, too! Can’t wait to give this a try :)
