Sounds a bit like funeral potatoes, classic Midwest potato bake.

Yes, thank you @Rooster! I did have a bit of a setback though. I tried to do do too much walking at too fast of a pace (4.5 miles an hour) and blew out my shins (shin splints), and my back a little (by raising the incline). I am my own worst enemy. I have to scale it back a little bit and be more patient. I keep forgetting that I am not a teenager anymore:slightly_smiling_face:
I recently resumed physical therapy to try and work on my core muscles.

Thanks @Rooster! Yes, slow and steady wins the race. I’m just impatient and try to push myself too hard.

We made this IP penne (rigatoni rigate in our case) with butternut squash and ricotta. I subbed pecans toasted in butter and omitted the parsley. Garlic spinach on the side.

How’d you like the recipe? It’s nice to have a little protein in the veggie dish from both the ricotta and the nuts.
I’ve been pretty mia lately due to lots of company and weekend trips. The next week continues the busyness, but should be lots of fun. I’ll be making my husband’s grandmother’s Portuguese kale soup recipe and some sourdough using my new King Arthur starter for our weekend guests, which should be fun.
I ordered a KitchenAid pasta extruder from Bed and Bath when they had it for $100, and then used a 20% discount coupon, so it was a good deal. Last night I finally broke it out and made fusilli. It actually worked quite well and was fun. I’ll break it out again to try rigatoni and maybe bucatini. Another toy to play with.

That looks good, I was considering this for a while when it was on sale!
The discussion was here.

Oh, thanks so much for the link, naf. It was an impulse buy so I didn’t research it. For $80, it was worth a try. I had enough fun to try a few other shapes.
Was your fusilli egg pasta, or without egg?
Let me know how the other shapes go. Thx.
It was pretty good. I added two barely crushed cloves of garlic to the pasta before pressurizing as well as a bay leaf. I think I’d prefer the texture of mascarpone over ricotta (I used whole milk) and a bit more cheese.
