First date Pasta with Clams
My friend shared this with me, perfect for a first time dinner date as you can cook while talking and the pasta sauce is done while the pasta boils. It's also ridiculously easy but seems much more complicated/ professional!
Garlic Scape & Basil Pesto
I am part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and this week, I recieved one of my favorite ingredients, Garlic Scapes! They are actually the plant greens of garlic and only come around a few weeks out of the year! They are insanely delicious with their light garlic and earthy flavor and make for an amazing pesto. I served mine on spaghetti with pan roasted tomatoes. My recent batch included a mix of pine nuts, walnuts and marcona almonds which were all in my pantry and was devine! I also froze some for a great quick crostini when guests come over topped with Burrata cheese.
Basil Cubes
By making this Frozen Basil Cubes with extra virgin olive oil recipe in the summer, I have the fresh taste of basil all year long. Use in soups, sauces, pesto.

Mozzarella
This mozzarella recipe is the result of multiple trials in the FOOD52 test kitchen and at home. The result is a fresh and soft cheese.
Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts
It goes without saying that I love Brussels sprouts. Testing all sorts of variations is my specialty. I'm an avid fan of roasted garlic, as i think most everyone is (or anyone that I would consider a normal person), so putting the two together was long coming. Here I've combined sweet roasted garlic and honey, with my old friend, Brussels sprouts.
Italian Tomato Sauce
Boiled icing (aka Italian meringue)
An old standby also known as an Italian meringue, there are many uses for boiled icing including the Cinnamon Balls we make at Passover (use food52 recipe search to find my recipe). - olinsloan
Pesto Pizza Crostini
Admittedly a bit plebian, this creation was borne from a long-ago 1980s (!) evening that featured too many cocktails...followed by the return home to an almost-empty fridge. Comfort food: salty, creamy, savory, crunchy. No regrets the next morning.

Hurricane Irene Risotto
Maintaining basic stables in ones hOMe is the elemental theme and concept for Recipe$ 4 $urvival. When the hurricane was approaching I treated myself to fabulous sugar plum grape tomatoes and Aborio rice. I had the onion - SMILE. I don't know, the dish screamed cOMfort food to me and what more did I need during the hurricane.
Sam Sifton’s Vitello Tonnato
This unlikely pairing of veal and tuna is shockingly irresistible, as Sam Sifton discovered in bringing the recipe to The Times in 2011. As with all simple cooking, ingredients are key here. Don’t skimp on the veal, or the tuna, or the mayonnaise. They all mingle together to create something better than the sum of their parts.

Bunga Bunga
Still another concoction in our tribute series to the antics of Italy’s adorable former head of state, Silvio Berlusconi who has done everything but erect a stripper pole in Palazzo Chigi where Italy’s lower house meets. When he was entertaining his huge entourage his meals always included meals in the colors of the “tricolore”, Italy’s flag; green, white, and red. Here comes the red part. E basta cosi.
Asparagus With Gremolata, Lemon and Olive Oil
This healthy, easy dish is a classic way to serve asparagus in the Italian region of Lombardy — and it only takes a few minutes to put together.
Bolognese
This is the recipe I'd hoped to submit to the "What you want to be remembered for" competition, but I didn't make the deadline. My grandmother often used to make us "tuco," the italo-argentine version of ragu, and in her hands it was a multi-layered, deep but very fresh dish, a complex stew of fresh vegetables and spices completed by the flavours of beef. It is a multi-layered bolognese, and over time I realized had elements of curry-making in the sense that you start out sweating the onions, garlic and spices in oil to create a base layer, and build up on that. This takes some time and devotion, but it makes for a pretty magnificent bolognese. I love it best over the classic long pasta shapes, spagghetti or linguini. I hope you enjoy it!
Gnocchi With Spring Vegetables and Basil
This recipe was a happy accident. Justin Smiley, one of the chefs at Barbuto in the West Village of Manhattan, froze a batch of gnocchi. But the chef Jonathan Waxman needed some right away, so he threw the frozen gnocchi into a pan with butter and oil, browned them and tossed them with vegetables.
