I don’t know if I mentioned this before but when I started to live on my own I really didn’t know a lot about cooking. I knew how to make one thing right and that was making white rice from watching my mom make it throughout the years. That’s it. At first, it wasn’t that bad because I relied on take out and frozen dinners a lot but after a while I knew things had to change, it was not only an unhealthy diet but also extremely expensive on my low budget.


So, I started looking for easy recipes that I could learn, memorize and make time and time again. Beef linguine is one of those recipes and I have made it so many times that I can actually just eyeball every single ingredient to perfection. Not only that, it’s been so long since I learned how to make it that I can’t even remember where I got it from. Was it from a friend? A magazine? A T.V. show? Online? I really can’t remember but it really doesn’t matter because I’ve changed it so much over the years that I have really made it my own.


And that’s the great thing about it, you can add or substitute any ingredient and it still comes out great. Don’t like mushrooms? Don’t add them. Want to add carrots or broccoli? Go right ahead. Want to use penne pasta instead of linguine? Why not? Whatever you want to do, it will work just fine. It’s a great recipe and the one that started me on this fabulous journey of discovering and learning great things about cooking.

 

¡Buen Provecho!

    Hi. If i dont have a beef broth, can i just boil my beef to get the broth? How would i tweak it then with the herbs that are used to marinate the beef?

      Hi faraasha, boiling beef alone will give you water with some beef flavor, but it's usually pretty bland. You can make your own by using any recipe that you can find online and it's usually made with beef bones or beef with bone in it, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, peppercorns, tomato or tomato paste, salt, and of course, water. then, it's boiled for a few hours and finally strained before using it.
