Fast & Easy Dinner: Gnocchi With Chard and White Beans
If you think gnocchi is a dish that can only be enjoyed in restaurants, think again! These days most grocery stores offer packaged gnocchi in the fresh or regular pasta sections. Why not make this staple a part of your busy-cook pantry?
Fast & Easy Dinner: Tuna Pomodoro
Before I lived in Spain, I never thought of putting canned tuna in pasta. However, the Spanish think everything tastes better with olive-oil packed tuna (including guacamole!), so I learned to love this savory pasta combination.
I suggest you give it a try with this simple recipe.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Provençal Rack of Lamb
Lots of nights, I crave roast chicken because it's simple and intensely comforting. However, I live alone, and unless I have someone over, cooking an entire chicken seems a bit wasteful. That's why I've taken to roasting rack of lamb instead.
Is It a Tomato or Squash?
In terms of produce, the end of September is a time that straddles Summer and Fall. Late-season heirloom tomatoes are juicy and plump, while early-season butternut squash are way too tempting. To celebrate the plethora of produce that can be found in markets, I've put together this fun quiz.
Soup's On: Spicy Tomato and Blue Cheese Soup
When I think of a deliciously comforting tomato soup recipe, the ingredients beer, blue cheese, and sriracha definitely do not come to mind. However, these out-of-the-ordinary elements are exactly why I knew I had to make this soup. Created by Iron Chef Michael Symon for Pilsner Urquell, the combination actually works — wonderfully well.
Sunday BBQ: Dill Chicken With Tomato Relish
Last week, I pounded some pork cutlets and put them on the grill. They were such a smash hit with my crowd that I'm going to use the same technique again this weekend — only this time, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I'll be coating chicken paillards with a marinade that's filled with my favorite flavorings, like grainy French mustard, shallots, and dill, and serving it alongside cherry tomatoes tossed with the same bright dressing.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Capellini-Tomato Pie
When it comes to pasta, sometimes it pays to think outside the box. This recipe isn't your grandmother's baked pasta dish. It's healthy, meatless, and not oversaturated with melted cheese.
Summer of Salads: Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Salad
Whenever I'm cooking for a crowd and need a recipe that's portable, I always consider pasta salad. It's filling and easy to make a large batch. While sometimes I assemble a Mediterranean pasta salad with orzo and feta, I also like to make this recipe with tomatoes and mozzarella.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Pork With Arugula and Tomatoes
When looking for quick, uncomplicated weeknight dinners, there's one cut of meat I always seem to forget: pork medallions. Quite simply, pork medallions are one-inch-thick slices of pork tenderloin. They cook rapidly, can take on distinct flavor profiles, and taste juicy and delicious.
Monday's Leftovers: Pasta With Lamb and Tomato Ragu
Pappardelle with a tomato ragu sounds typical enough — until you jazz it up with the addition of leftover ground lamb, shallots, and parsley. Not only does it make for a seemingly effortless yet sophisticated Monday night dinner, but it's also a great way to introduce other family members and friends to the rich and slightly gamey flavors of lamb. Top it off with some mild ricotta salata or feta cheese, and you've got a very memorable meal.
