Cooking Light Recipes

Posted on 01. Sep, 2009 by Forest in Recipes & Food

Cooking Light Recipes are fantastic and we all know that the magazine is well illustrated, thoughfully laid out and generally full of great information. But like any magazine they are a little pricy and I know I can’t always afford to pick a copy up. So where can you get free Cooking Light Recipes?

Luckily for us… The Cooking Light website is ladden with free recipes for us to try out. The website is laid out well and thoughtfully very much like the magazine.

One of my favorite recipes from the Cooking Light website is the Spinach and Ricotta Pizza. It’s veggie, pretty cheap and feels like a much more high end meal than say mac and cheese!

I do however make a few variations. Here is the Cooking Light ingredients list:

* 1 portion Homemade Pizza Dough
* Cooking spray
* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 3/4 cup New York–Style Pizza Sauce
* 2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
* 1 1/2 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic
* 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
* 1/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
* 2 plum tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced

Firstly I use my own pizza base recipe that can be found here: Quick Flat Bread.

Then I use my own homemade tomato sauce but I simmer it for a little longer to thicken it up. Sometimes I blend it smooth sometimes I leave it chunky. This recipe can be found here: Spaghetti Sauce Recipe.

It’s really easy to make and can varied depending on what you have in the fridge.

They also have some other great recipes including burritos, pastas, salads and much much more. You can search here: Cooking Light Recipes.
