Blue Apron ~ Spicy Shrimp Spaghetti

Tonight's dish of Spicy Shrimp Spaghetti with Cabbage and Toasted Breadcrumbs was a snap to make and very tasty.  It is basically a classic spaghetti, except instead of meatballs, the recipe called for shrimp.  In addition, the sauce was made with sautéed cabbage, which gave it a nice flavor.  Although the dish was called "spicy", I guess my palate has been accustomed to Louisiana cuisine.  I wouldn't call this dish "spicy."  I would, however make it again.

Blue Apron ~ Creamy Lemon Linguine

When I looked at the ingredients for this dish ~ Creamy Lemon Linguine with Caramelized Onion, Chard and Walnuts ~ I thought it sounded like a strange combination.  Instead, this is now one of my favorites.

This dish used both the stems and the leaves of the Chard.  The stems were combined with the caramelized onions and garlic, then the leaves were wilted into the mix.  The cooked lemon linguine was added, along with the yogurt and juice of the lemon.  

The end result was a nice, tasty and really creamy pasta dish.
