Swordfish with agghiotta condiment. 2/15/26

Posted on February 16, 2026 by Beebamom

Swordfish with tomatoes, olives, and capers, mashed potatoes, and broccoli

This was supposed to be our Valentine’s Day dinner but I made a lot of guacamole that we had with tortilla chips as a treat before dinner and then we were too full to eat dinner. Agghiotta is a Sicilian preparation for serving with swordfish. You can find the recipe here: https://www.seriouseats.com/agghiotta-di-pesce-spada-sicilian-braised-swordfish-with-tomatoes-and-olives-5212333

Rather than braise the fish John cooks it separately in a pan and I make the tomatoes and olives and then we combine them when we plate up. Also I used slivered almonds rather than pine nuts. Almonds are much less expensive and go well in the dish.

This would have been a great Valentines Day dinner but it was just as good on the 15th!

I bought a bag of four good-sized peppers and stuffed them with a cooked mixture of onions, ground beef, rice, spices, and tomato sauce. They were good on Tuesday but even better as a leftovers on Thursday.

Penne with pork sausage and kale. 2/6/26

Posted on February 7, 2026 by Beebamom

Whole grain penne with spicy pork sausage and kale

🥳 I love this delicious pasta!

Ingredients for two servings – 6 to 8 oz. whole grain penne, 1/2 onion, chopped, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 4 oz. spicy pork sausage removed from casing.

Steps – heat boiling salted water and cook penne according to box directions. While water is heating and penne is cooking sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. When onion is translucent add the pork sausage. Break sausage apart while cooking. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink.

Reserve a cup of pasta water and then strain the pasta with a colander. Add a couple of handfuls of chopped kale to the sausage mixture and also a half cup of the reserved pasta water. Put the penne into the sausage mixture and stir it around. Add the rest of the reserved water if it looks dry.

Garnish with olive oil and Parmesan.
