What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

I think I'm gonna make hoppin' John tonight. Don't have any meat that'll work in it, though, so it's going to be a vegetarian one, lol.

May fry a squash with it if my last piece of squash is still ok.

I had to google that. Sounds yummy!

I took the cottage cheese and feta dip from yesterday and mixed it with tapenade, slathered it on salmon and baked it in the oven with tomato wedges. Served it with veggies.

Venison moussaka. Unfortunately I was talking with a friend on the phone while I was cooking it, and I think I forgot to put red wine in the meat sauce, so it wasn't quite as delicious as it should have been ... but it was still pretty good.
 
Linguine with zucchine and mazzancolle.

Ooh, that looks good!
Do you purée the zucchini or how do you make it?
No, I tried to purée the zucchini once but it's not good. So, I either slice the zucchini (thin and small ones are better,) or I grate them, like in this case. Broccoli are good to purée and use them with either clams (my favorite) or shrimps.
 
That looks tasty Orchidea. I like zucchini in strips, have a special tool for it, great either fresh or cooked.

I just use the potato peeler, to get thin ribbons. Works well on carrots too and radish.

I had this no bread version of the Danish Pariserbøf for dinner last night.

I'm thinking a nice roasted chicken salad.

I do use strips too. But usually for salad or a different kind of pasta dish, like strozzapreti with speck. For long pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, bucatini etc. it's better when it's chopped finely, grated or purée, because it binds (?) the sauce with the pasta much better.
