FINALS ENTRIES
Day 1: Summer Pasta
Why start with summer? Well, this very special recipe from C.S. is actually much older than this challenge . . . It is one of the very first recipes using Pickle Creek products that anyone ever shared with me. This special recipe from C.S. features Pickle Creek Genovese Basil & Roma Tomato Infused Olive Oil and Lemon Basil Infused Balsamic Vinegar and is easy, fresh, and delicious!

Day 8: CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA
I could easily see this simple and tasty recipe from Amy F quickly becoming a staple at the dinner table! This version of the recipe uses Pickle Creek Genovese Basil & Roma Tomato Olive Oil, but I bet the Greek Basil & Garlic, Greek Oregano & Garlic, Lemon Basil & Garlic, and Roasted Garlic Olive Oils would all work wonderfully as well!

Day 12: Spinach Mushroom Couscous
This hearty, healthy, and tasty vegetarian dish from Amy F really showcases the Sage, Mushroom, & Garlic Infused Olive Oil. And the couscous makes it really fun to eat!

Day 16: Pickle Creek Macaroni and Cheese
Our pasta challenge would not be complete without this favorite dish! And this recipe from Sue M uses Pickle Creek Shallot Infused Olive Oil to put a tasty spin on the classic recipe. Everyone in our test kitchen agreed that this macaroni was magically delicious!
