Pasta & Shrimp with Fresh Lemon & Cream Sauce

Let me start by saying that this recipe is very easy, has a small number of ingredients and cooks very fast. It's the perfect solution when you're short on time, because the sauce takes about the same time to cook as the pasta. The original recipe is by Lidia Bastianich, but I added shrimp and used box linguine noodles instead of homemade pasta. Feel free to get creative and add whatever you like! It's a very basic recipe. The boyfriend will tell you that I've been on a lemon kick lately, but I feel like spring/sumer is the perfect time for the brightness that lemon adds to many dishes.

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Basil-Brown Butter Sauce

It turns out that I had some leftover squash after making the Apricot Squash Soup. I decided to try out a new recipe with it. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com which I use quite often. The original recipe called for sage, but I substituted with basil because I have a plant growing and I love to use it! This recipe is fairly easy, but time consuming. Since I only had half a butternut squash leftover I halved the original recipe. The original recipe served 8 and my list of ingredients below will serve 4.
