Fall Recipes for Floridians Pumpkin Alfredo: INGREDIENTS 1 pound fettuccine (reserve 1 cup of pasta water) 6 tablespoons butter 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling) 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 2/3 cup half & half 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley Bring a stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, then add fettuccine. Cook until al dente (check package instructions) Meanwhile, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in garlic and cook for about a minute, careful not to burn. Stir in half & half, Parmesan, pumpkin and nutmeg. Stir until sauce is heated through and cheese is melted. Stir in pasta water, about 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce is desired consistency (I used about 1/2 a cup, and it was thick and creamy. For a thinner sauce, use more water). Add pasta and cook over medium-high heat until sauce is smooth and pasta is well coated; about 1-2 minutes. Divide into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and fresh grated Parmesan, if desired.
Lemon Rosemary Chicken with Broccolini Ingredients 2 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary 1 large garlic clove, chopped 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 lemon, cut into thin slices, divided 4 small bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 lbs. total) 2 bunches Broccolini (about 1 lb.) 1 red onion, cut into 1/2" wedges 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper, plus more for serving
Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine parsley, rosemary, garlic, Dijon, and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Place 8 lemon slices and half of rosemary mixture underneath skin of chicken, dividing evenly. Rub remaining rosemary mixture over chicken, dividing evenly. Roast, on a rimmed baking sheet, 20 to 22 minutes. Meanwhile, toss Broccolini, onion, red pepper, remaining lemon slices, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove baking sheet from oven and arrange vegetables around chicken. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with red pepper for sprinkling.
Want to kayak work? This could happen soon as Aventura Becomes an Active Design City The Florida Department of Health has received a major grant from the Federal Government via the Center for Disease Control. The project was modeled after a similar public works initiative in NYC and will incorporate many healthy benefits to improve local parks, public spaces, intelligent growth and land use, transportation solutions and architecture. The ADM initiative work to will ensure the following: every Aventura resident will have a park space within a quarter mile of residence, public spaces tailor made to include those with disabilities, increase the number of recreation facilities in the city, ensure that the spaces are very accessible, add more water fountains, trees, and better lighting, utilize local nature to improve the landscape, create community gardens where people can pick fresh fruits and vegetables, increase dredged waterfront spaces to facilitate more water sports such as paddle boarding in your neighborhood, provide pet friendly fixtures in public areas and partner with local organizations to sponsor and maintain these new improvements.
