For as simple as this Slow Baked Trout is to prep and cook, it packs a LOT of flavor. And because the fish cooks slowly at a low temperature, the result is tender, moist piece of trout that flakes easily. Here’s why we love this steelhead trout recipe so much: It just doesn’t get better than this. Whether you’re feeding your family on a busy weeknight or trying to impress friends, this baked steelhead trout always hits the spot! If you’re a fan of tender baked seafood, be sure to…
Continue ReadingTrenette al Pesto (From Disney-Pixar’s Luca!)
If you’ve seen Pixar’s Luca, chances are good that you’re already familiar with Trenette al Pesto! Simple in nature, this traditional Ligurian pasta dish consists of trenette pasta (though spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini work just fine) tossed with a homemade basil Genovese sauce, green beans, and tender cooked potatoes. Sounds dreamy, right? The best part? The pasta, potatoes, and green beans cook in one pot at the same time! 🎉 It’s hearty and delicious! In the movie Luca, the recipe hails from Disney-Pixar Director Enrico Casarosa who spent his summers on the…

My Frisée salad with poached eggs, lardons, and warm bacon vinaigrette is inspired by the classic Lyonnaise salad. Bitter greens, traditionally frisée, are topped with salty, crisp bacon and poached eggs. The Dijon salad dressing is made from the bacon renderings, giving it a rich, deep flavor that really sticks to the greens. For having so few ingredients, this frisée salad recipe (also referred to as salade Lyonnaise) has a complex flavor that warrants each individual step. It’s also extraordinarily filling (deceptively so!). It’s a filling salad that won’t weigh…

Sheet pan fajitas are the easiest way to get fajitas on the table without losing their namesake sizzle! Here, thinly sliced fajita veggies and steak are seasoned with warm, fragrant spices (chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt, paprika, and cayenne), then placed onto preheated baking sheets that have been heating under a broiler — a method we read about in Epicurious! It’s genius. The sheet pans have a chance to get screaming hot, so when you pour the vegetable slices and steak on top, they immediately begin cooking and sizzling away! The same…

If you were to ask what our favorite dessert recipes on Well Seasoned are, it’s a three way tie. Apple cinnamon bundt cake (it is wildly delicious), cannoli cream parfaits, and this — our must make, best ever carrot cake loaf! This one is super special to me. For over a decade, my husband and I used to take an annual fall to Cape Cod. One year, we stayed at an adorable B&B in Dennis Port. At breakfast they served a carrot loaf (sans cream cheese frosting) and coffee with…
Continue ReadingCreamy Chicken Tortellini Soup with Rotisserie Chicken
A Family-Favorite Soup That Requires Minimal Effort Whenever soup season rolls around, I find myself craving a big bowl of this creamy, one-pot chicken tortellini soup. It’s made weeknight-friendly by using store-bought rotisserie chicken and cheese-filled pasta. The tomato-based broth comes together quickly with garlic, onion, and herbs, which I always have on hand. To get that silky smooth texture, the soup gets puréed before stirring in a bit of cream. You can add any veggies you like, but fresh baby spinach keeps the whole thing simple. Just like with…
