If you shy away from saltimbocca because you don't eat veal, then do yourself a favor and try this twist on the classic Roman dish, which uses chicken in place of beef. The sage and prosciutto fulfill the recipe's promise to "jump in the mouth."

Yesterday, we welcomed the fall season with a simple stuffed squash. It's a festive recipe, but one that doesn't leave much for leftovers. If you do have any leftover, you can try warming it up and serving with pasta.

In honor of National Spaghetti Day, I've decided to share with you a recipe for making your own spaghetti. Unfortunately, I've never made my own, but this recipe sounds so tasty, I might give it a try.
