Smoked Gouda and Rigatoni

Mmmmm. Found a favorite recipe tonight. I never thought to put shredded Smoked Gouda on pasta. You need less of it than you would Sharp Cheddar. Sauce is coarse chopped tomatoes, asparagus, chopped basil,some pinot noir (perfect wine for fall), retained pasta water, garlic and lemon juice. Then you mix in the pasta, and put on the Gouda.

I then made in the crock pot, cranberry chicken. Mostly to end up making chicken salad for our lunches. But it was amazing just by itself :) Welcome Fall I

LOVE you....I think too much.

Not only am I so looking forward to our wedding in 1 month yes, can you believe it 1 month...but I love apple cider, pumpkin festivals, hiking, leaves falling and getting to snuggle under a blanket again....I'm so looking forward to starting new traditions with my soon to be husband.
