Quick Pasta with Cream & Garlic
Inspired by a recent David Tanis/New York Times column about the beauty of having a quick, satisfying pasta in your repertoire, I thought I’d share my recipe – if you can even call it that – for the pasta I make for my son at least once a week. Like the Tanis recipe, this dish…
Winter Squash Gnocchi with Brown Butter & Sage
This pillowy gnocchi is so easy to make! And delicious tossed with brown butter and crispy sage. Recipe for Winter Squash Gnocchi with Brown Butter & Sage at Food & Wine Magazine/Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen Adventures.
Ramp Pesto
The calendar says May, but the temperature reads February, with mean little snow flurries icing our not-spring cake. It pretty much sucks. But there are ramps! Lovely, garlicky-grassy ramps, which taste like spring, and that means something. I actually prefer them just gently warmed, so they keep their garlicky bite, which makes them perfect for…
Pasta Amatriciana from Muir Glen Vine Dining Tour Dinner at Corner Table
It’s no secret that Corner Table Restaurant is one of my favorite spots in town – I wouldn’t have chosen to spend my birthday dinner there several weeks ago if it weren’t. So when I received an invitation for a promotional cooking demonstration and dinner at Corner Table, for the Muir Glen Tomato Vine Dining…
Spaghetti Carbonara…Sort Of
As you might have noticed, I’ll eat eggs with pretty much anything. Polenta, potatoes, bread, bread crumbs, salad, tomatoes, soup, on and on. Take it from a former egg hater – eggs elevate all of these dishes from something ordinary to sublime. For pennies. For around 75 calories. So lovely. This dish is a sort-of…
Newly Minted: Almond-Mint Pesto, Gin & Tonic with Grapefruit & Mint
If mint over-runneth your garden – chives too, for that matter – then this pesto is for you. It’s surprisingly mild, luscious with toasted almonds and olive oil (no cheese). It makes a quick, lovely dinner, especially tossed with fresh tomatoes (as written) or a handful or two of your favorite lightly sauteed vegetables. (My…
Fettucine Alfredo That Won’t Kill You
My son is a big fettucine alfredo fan. Restaurant versions are terrifyingly caloric, unnecessarily soaked in cups of cream and cheese, some even enriched with egg yolks. I’ve come up with a not-so-over-the-top version for him that I actually prefer. I use real cream, but not too much. A little goes a long way. Nathan…
Silken Tofu with Soba Noodles
This is a quickie lunch or dinner idea, very basic but satisfying and packed with flavor. Remember when I first posted Mark Bittman-via-Jean-George’s ginger fried rice and commented that I’d be riffing on the delicious theme for years to come? Well here’s one riff. I was so taken with the crave-worthy combination of leeks sauteed…
Chicken Lo Mein
I love family-friendly spaghetti with meat sauce as much as anyone (for a great recipe, check out the version my friend Maud posted on food52 this week, her mom’s famous recipe, secret ingredient…a pinch of curry powder, can’t wait to try it). But I like to mix up our pasta selections as well, especially given…
Balance?
Routine, Routine, wherefore art thou Routine? Man, if you’re stuck in a rut and need to shake things up a bit, may I suggest a household bout with the flu, close on the heels of acquiring a new puppy? Actually, you probably already know these tricks – at the least the flu part – given…
