It’s been a while since I’ve done a recipe post here; but this is a recipe Miranda came up with a few months ago, we’ve made it several times since then, and it’s really quite good. (Not good as in “good for a recipe my daughter came up with” but good as in “better than the strong majority of the pasta recipes in the cookbooks we have lying around”.) Plus, it’s super-easy!
Miranda Pasta
Ingredients:
4 oz. prosciutto
1 1/2 lb. tomatoes
fresh basil
1 lemon
6 Tbsp. olive oil
salt to taste
4 oz. goat cheese
1 lb. pasta
Instructions:
Sliver the prosciutto and basil; seed and chop the tomatoes. Juice and zest the lemon. Crumble the goat cheese, and mix the non-pasta ingredients in a large bowl. Cook the pasta, combine, and serve.

I am going to make this. No, seriously. It sounds amazing.

That sounds amazing. I’m not a huge goat cheese fan though, I wonder what what kind of cheese could be substituted? Anything with prosciutto is amazing :)

For what it’s worth, I’m not a super-huge goat cheese fan myself, but the lemon juice here provides a nice foil. Not entirely sure what I would substitute; I’d try to match the texture to some extent, maybe feta? (Though probably many people who don’t like goat cheese don’t like feta, either…)
