Getting Saucy

This week in our vegetarian shares we have something a little different for your tastebuds, those little party people in your mouth. We have sauce from the Not Just Sauce Co - a delicious mash up of 10 different veggies that come together to make one super versatile, magical concoction.

It's ready to top your fresh pasta, your enchiladas or to make a quick Shakshuka . If you've never tried it, this dish is one pan perfection. Roasted tomatoes with eggs baked into the sauce. We had this dish in mind when making this week's selection so you'll find your sauce all cozied next to some local eggs ready to meet up on your stove top.

Not Just Co is a local woman owned business with an awesome back story. Here's a snippet from their website:

"Once upon a time, Catherine (a personal chef, food writer, and cook on TV) cornered a very pregnant Jacqueline (a cooking teacher, former Whole Foods buyer, and food policy wonk) in the Boston Public Market. Catherine presented Jacqueline with a recipe for the 10-veggie pasta sauce that was a big hit with her personal chef clients, and an important question.

Catherine thought the sauce could be the backbone of a business — one that would help busy parents like themselves get weeknight dinners done.

...

By now you've figured out the question, and that Jacqueline said, "let's give it a shot!" The rest is (testing, schlepping, trying, failing, tasting, creating, small-business-building) history.

Almost four years later, we still test and develop every recipe in our home kitchens and taste-test every new potential new product with friends and family before it goes into production. Have you met a preschooler? They are brutally honest feedback-givers, and we love them for it. "

Veggie heads of Family Dinner, we present to you Not Just Sauce - we hope you love it.

I need to skip this week!

Recipes (MA)

Cacio e Pepe with Arugula - This is my favorite pasta dish, made brighter and sharper with the greens.

Beets with Balsamic Glaze - We roast beets a lot but the addition of the vinegar adds a beautiful new bite. Serve with a good schmear of your ricotta from the Cheese of the Week.

Roast Chicken with Arugula and Bread Salad - It isn't Spring yet but we can kid ourselves with this dish.

Radish and Pear Salad - If you have a nice blue cheese or feta that will add some missing fat to a delicious salad.

Recipes (ME + NH)

Shakshuka - Jealousy abound for the folks not receiving a Vegetarian Share this week. As noted, we've got a delicious sauce from Not Just Co. that we're pairing with eggs from Maple Meadow Farm. Doesn't get much easier or tastier. And, for those with Double Shares, that sourdough sesame baguette from Rosemont is perfect dipping fodder. It's almost like we had a plan 😉.

Torchietti Pasta with Eggs and Capers - Most of you are getting some beautiful torchietti from Amolitta Pasta, thus named as they look like lil' torches. Like a ton of other simple pasta dishes, there's some alchemy going on here.

Sautéed Mustard Greens with Garlic and Lemon - We're very excited to see some greens becoming available. Winters are tough up here and produce options, as you may have noticed, are limited. This is the first glimpse of the bounty that's ahead. Super versatile side that would be great with some Smothered Pork Chops or Baked Sole With Lemon.

Pickled Beets - Speaking of winter produce, I know it seems a bit nuts to want to preserve some for consumption later. Like, we've all met our yearly quota of root veg, right? But these are delicious alongside a simple sausage plate (sausage, mustard, variety of pickles, maybe some kraut, crusty bread 🤤... heaven on earth). Or in a salad or tossed into a sandwich. The world is your pickle.
