Hello...Welcome to my first blog. I can't wait to share my life's successes and failures, a no holds barred truth of the matter, life experiences with you. The "name" was a hard one to come up with till a friend of mine said you can post things from your everyday life. Like my gardening, cooking and crazy life as a band mom ...not to forget the biggest part of my life, my kids and our homeschooling adventures, in-which, Core Curriculum came to mind. Hence Core Cooking and Much More. Hope my blog inspires you in some way. I know others have inspired me and I thank them for it. Who knows, maybe a book might come of this one day.

Linguica and Asparagus Pasta



Mmmm... Linguica and Asparagus pasta creation...another quick and easy dish of yumminess...had to post it before I forgot what I did...love sharing and posting my creations...hope you enjoy it

1 bag of pasta your choice
3 large linguica's split and cut into bit size pieces
2 lb of asparagus
1/2 cup water
1 can of diced tomatoes
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of red chili flakes
cracked pepper
1/2 of a lemon's juice
Zest of 1 whole lemon
hand full of chopped fresh Cilantro
Parmesan cheese

First put on a pot of water to boil your pasta in...while its coming to a boil, chop your linguica and add it to a hot pan on med high heat...wash and chop your fresh asparagus...after your meat is browned add in the asparagus and toss a few times...add water, chili flakes and pepper and cover about 5 to 7 minuets so your asparagus can get tender and the red chili flakes reconstitute...by this time your water should be ready ...add your pasta and time it for the amount that it says....then add your diced tomatoes reduce heat to low...when your pasta is done add it to your mixture and add the fresh cilantro and lemon zest....let  it sit a few minuets for the pasta to soak up some of the juices... sprinkle with grated Parmesan...enjoy
