Although it may be weird, it tastes good.</p> <p>Pasta ( for a side dish I'd use penned or larger mini shells)<br /> Sundried Tomato Pesto<br /> Sundried Tomatoes (1st time was the kind packed in oil, I dropped them in the boiling pasta water to get the oil off OR you can use the ones in the produce section in plastic bags)<br /> Onions<br /> Ken's Creamy Caesar dressing</p> <p>1) slice &amp; sautee onions until carmelized<br /> 2) mix in the pesto &amp; dressing, let simmer til warm<br /> 2b) mix &amp; add more of either ingredient to get the color you want- it will look like vodka sauce<br /> 3) add the cooked pasta &amp; sundried tomatos; stir so the sauce covers all the pasta<br /> 4) top cheese if you like</p> <p>I added rotisserie chicken to mine, but as a side dish no need for chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-suggestions-for-nye#post-2002194 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:05:19 +0000 Mrs. J 2002194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: thanks!! Peas and shallots are actually amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-suggestions-for-nye#post-2002186 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:57:36 +0000 MrsSCB 2002186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom made these peas last week and they are SO GOOD (they're from Ina Garten's new cookbook). I realize peas don't usually seem that exciting, but add pancetta (or you can do bacon), shallots, and a little mint and they become amazing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/peas-and-pancetta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/peas-and-pancetta.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-suggestions-for-nye#post-2002177 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:52:11 +0000 Mrs. J 2002177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: yum!

I'll have garlic bread and salad as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recipe-suggestions-for-nye#post-2002167 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:46:14 +0000 Mrs. J 2002167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are hosting my BIL and SIL for NYE dinner tomorrow. We are going to make crab legs, which we usually do, but I need some sides suggestions. Last year, we did creamed corn, sautéed Swiss chard and crispy smashed potatoes. I'd love to do some make ahead sides, if possible, because I will be home with LO all day and DH is working most of the day.</p> <p>Any suggestions of tried and true recipes would be greatly appreciated!!!! </p>
