personalrecipe

What is a Personal Recipe?

This is a recipe you personally add to the site—you can choose to share it with other users, or keep it private in your own Recipe Box.

Save those secret family recipes. Keep family tradition alive by saving Grandma’s cinnamon roll recipe to your Recipe Box.
Share recipes today. No need to wait for your recipe submission to be published to the Allrecipes site—Personal Recipes can be shared right away. They can even be rated and reviewed!
It’s your Recipe Box—add anything! A Personal Recipe can also be a recipe you found in a magazine or on another website (Note: previously published recipes are not eligible for publication on Allrecipes.)

The recipes you love are everywhere. Creating Personal Recipes makes it easy to keep them all in one place!

weblink

What is a Weblink?

Creating a Weblink allows you to save other website links to your Recipe Box-and even dress up the page with an image and notes.

Declutter your “Favorites.” Free up some space on your internet “Favorites” by saving food-related links as Weblinks instead.
Jot it down, then save it. You can’t underline stuff on a webpage, but you can make notes in Weblinks to keep track of stuff you don’t want to forget about the link you added.
Share the wealth. Email any Weblink—notes and all—to friends and family to share your great finds!

Weblinks can also be organized in folders right in your Recipe Box, so it’s easy to keep them handy with all your favorite recipes.

reference

What is a Reference?

If some of your favorite recipes and/or cooking articles are from cookbooks or magazines, you can create a Reference to remind you where they are.

A quick alternative. Instead of entering your favorites as Personal Recipes, you can simply create a Reference for each, making note of the publication and page number.
Save them to your Recipe Box. Keep your References handy with all your other favorite recipes—even create folders for them.
Makes finding recipes easier. No more shuffling through that pile of books and magazines, desperately searching—a Reference will tell you exactly where to look.

When it’s not available online, creating a Reference is the best way to keep track of a recipe or cooking article you don’t want to lose.

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

1 pound eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium yellow sweet peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
SAUCE:
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (16 ounce) package ziti or other small tube pasta
4 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray, combine the eggplant, red onion and yellow peppers. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 35-45 minutes or until edges of peppers begin to brown, stirring every 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, saute onions in oil until tender. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and fennel; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper, sugar and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
In two greased 2-qt. baking dishes, spread 1/2 cup sauce each. In each dish, layer a fourth of the pasta, a fourth of the roasted vegetables and 1/2 cup sauce. Top with 2 cups spinach and 1/2 cup sauce. Top with remaining roasted vegetables, pasta and sauce.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted.
