Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'd be happy if rosemary was added to everything: turkey recipes, sandwiches, desserts, cocktails, glasses of Yoo Hoo, whatever. It's really one of my favorite flavors, smells, even words. I'm playing a lot of Rosemary Clooney this holiday season.
This recipe for Rosemary Pasta in Roasted Garlic Sauce is from AllRecipes.com, and it sounds quite tasty. It's also not bad for you, judging from the nutritional info included with the recipe.
Rosemary Pasta in Roasted Garlic Sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until they turn a deep brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Mix in the chicken stock and rosemary, and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until reduced by 1/3, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, then add noodles to the sauce in the skillet. Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve in a large bowl family style, or place about 1 cup of pasta in a large mug or small bowl. Insert a dinner fork in the center of the pasta and twirl the fork around, holding the mug steady. The pasta will wind up tighter and tighter as you turn. Remove the fork and immediately turn the pasta out onto a dinner plate or shallow bowl. Garnish with extra cheese and rosemary sprigs.

This would probably taste even better with a whole bulb of minced roasted garlic added to the mix.

11-30-2007 @12:59AM CandyPandora said... You're really passionate about rosemary, so you may be able to answer this question-- when cooking with fresh rosemary, is it necessary to use just the leaves and discard the stem?
I used to use sprigs of fresh rosemary that grew around my house to scent potatoes or pasta. But they always created this nasty smell that stunk up the house and rendered the food inedible. Did I need to remove the stems, or was it just some weird pesticide or something that got on them? I've since quit using fresh...
Thanks!

2 pints cherry tomatoes
1 medium or large onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1-4 dried red chile peppers, broken up
1/3 c. dry white wine
1/3 c. vegetable stock
1-2 sprigs rosemary, de-stemmed
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Place all ingredients in a large, deep baking pan (e.g., one you would use to bake lasagna) and mix well. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Serve over pasta.

The cake itself is a direct pickup of Martha Stewart's basic White Cake Recipe with 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh rosemary and the zest of 2 lemons. I always garnish the cake with sprigs of fresh rosemary and some homemade candied lemon peel.
It makes you wonder why there aren't more rosemary desserts out there!

Best,

Just add the 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh rosemary and the zest of 2 lemons to the butter mixture as you are adding the flour and milk before folding in the egg whites. The great thing about a white cake and a curd together is that the egg whites go to the cake and the egg yolks go to the curd. A warning though that this is not an easy cake to make if you aren't an experienced cake maker. You need to follow the directions carefully or it won't be so great. I can imagine trying to add the lemon zest and rosemary to a white cake mix and getting a nice alternative flavor (in the semi-homemade style).
The goat cheese frosting is from Martha's Baking Handbook, but I make it a little off her recipe to account for getting my ingredients at Trader Joe's.
Goat Chese frosting:
1 log of the Trader Joe's goat Cheese (the big log with the red label) softened
1 package softened cream cheese or neufchatel (lower fat cream cheese which I prefer since it makes a bit lighter frosting)
powdered sugar to taste
1 tsp very fine lemon zest (omit if you have a coarse zester)
Cream all the ingredients together in a mixer until smooth an fluffy about 4-5 min.
You can add softened butter to this and additional sugar if you want a smoother, creamier frosting. I have found that this amount of frosting is perfect for the outside of the cake only. Fill the layers with the lemon curd after piping (or spreading) a small wall of icing around the edges of each layer. This prevents the lemon curd from seeping out of the cake when you put the next layer on.
I garnish/ decorate the cake with candied lemon peel and clean sprigs of rosemary. It is nice to make sure the rosemary is in smaller pieces (not the whole sprig) so each person can have some fresh rosemary with their cake.
Martha's recipe for candied lemon peel: http://www.marthapedia.com/recipe/candied-lemon-peel?autonomy_kw=candied%20lemon%20peel&rsc=ns2006_m2
I use a less elaborate method where I just boil equal parts sugar and water together and then boil the lemon peel in the mixture until it goes a bit translucent. It takes around 5 mins or so to cook that way (I am sure it is the proper way to get perfect candied lemon peel, but it works for me!)
I have a photo of the most recent time I made the cake if you want me to email it to you.
I now want to try making variations on some other desserts thinking about using rosemary and other herbs. I have changed up flavors in other recipes, one of my favorite variations is an orange cranberry soda bread with chocolate chips.
As another note, I have also had rosemary gelato at Capogiro in Philly that was incredible.

Unfortunately, the link to the cake/curd recipes didn't come through; I'm an experienced baker, though, so I will either punt with stuff in my own files or negotiate through Martha's site. Love the candied lemon peel as garnish, and the contrasting rosemary sprigs.
My e-mail address is: collardini@yahoo.com if you'd care to send me the photo.
Again, thanks.
