Pizza Dough

I've been baking a lot of pizza lately because it turns out that making pizza is really easy. Seriously! All it takes is time, so plan ahead. It'll at least an hour for your dough to rise. The recipes say that you can refrigerate the dough overnight and use it the next day as well.

Pasta with Pumpkin and Sausage

I asked the Chopping Block what I should cook, and she suggested a pumpkin recipe from Martha Stewart, except I thought that it wouldn't turn out very well. I think pumpkin has a pretty mild taste, and I didn't think it'd work with pasta. After some searching around, I found a Rachel Ray recipe, albeit I'm not a fan, but it looked more promising than Martha Stewart's.

Chicken Marsala

I think the only chicken marsala I've had was at Gypsy's, the old cheap Italian "fast" restaurant for college students near UC Berkeley. Gypsy's food is pretty good. Once in a while, I would come back just to get pesto chicken or their Bronx spaghetti and meatballs.

I never knew that chicken marsala would be easy. Forgive me for being a n00b but I used to confuse marsala (the wine) with masala (the spice mixture). Lame, right? Feel free to point at me and laugh. Those days are over, I have cooked with marsala wine and even took a swig of it (don't try it).
