Tastes delicious. Looks homemade.
This tuna pesto pasta recipe with arugula spinach pesto was inspired by the linguine with tuna, lemon, and rocket (Linguine al Tonno, Limone, e Rughetta) that I first made with Diane Seed in Rome over a decade ago. It’s a quick and simple weeknight pasta …
This one pot pasta with ricotta and lemon was inspired by reader requests. Everyone wants quick and easy and delicious meals that they can make on a weeknight when everyone is tired and hungry and no one wants to cook. Heck I want more of …
This fig bacon jam pasta has a rare balance of sweet and salty, creamy and crispy. I know some of you will have no interest in reading a story about how my kiddo dreamed up this recipe. If that applies to you, please feel free …
It’s a common refrain. There are nights when I have neither the time nor the energy to spend hours in the kitchen, chopping and stirring. This vegetarian eggplant lasagna is for those nights. The recipe takes all of the components of a vegetarian lasagna – …

The recent snow has made me ache for the foods of summer. You know what I mean. Berries and peaches, fresh corn, and basil for pesto alla genovese. The pesto that was in the freezer is long gone. How will we get through the next …
You could turn these braised meatballs into a quick meal by using a store-bought marinara sauce, but would you really want to? The weeknight alternative is to make this hearty marinara sauce ahead of time. It freezes well, or you could can it, if you …

This is a case of the “I didn’t know what I was missing” until I tried Edouardo Jordan’s recipe for macaroni and cheese. Before this, I had made my cavatappi mac n cheese like a lasagna, following the “bake until bubbly” methodology. It always resulted …
