Risotto With Spinach And Pine Nuts (Ristorante La Brisa)

Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed With Tuna

Orecchiette With Corn, Jalapeño, Feta and Basil
Sweet, peak season corn is at the heart of this flavorful and simple-to-make summer pasta. The jalapeño offers a pleasant kick, and the feta cheese tossed in at the end melts slightly, giving the sauce a silky texture. It’s worth seeking out orecchiette here, as it nicely catches the corn kernels, creating perfect bites. If you can’t find it, fusilli or farfalle would work in its place. Serve with a bright, simple salad alongside and fresh fruit for dessert.

White Beans And Tuna Salad

Broccoli Rabe and Sausage With Orecchiette

Skillet Chicken and Rice With Anchovies and Olives
This one-pan meal is inspired by the flavors of pasta con le sarde, a classic Sicilian dish made with sardines and fennel. Anchovies take the place of sardines here, for a more assertive, punchy flavor. The brininess of the anchovies and olives is rounded out by the sweetness of the sautéed fennel, orange juice and golden raisins, which plump up beautifully as they cook. Serve with a Sicilian white wine and simply dressed arugula.

Orecchiette With Broccoli Rabe and Red Pepper
Orecchiette with broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is a classic dish from Apulia, the region of Italy that makes up the heel of the country’s boot shape. To make the dish more colorful, I added red bell pepper to the traditional mix. The sweetness of the peppers makes a nice contrast to the bitter greens.

Orzo With Basil And Pine Nuts

Pasta With Salsa Crudo and Green Beans
You can make this uncooked grated tomato sauce while you’re waiting for the water to boil for the green beans and pasta. Choose a type of noodle that will catch the sauce, such as orecchiette, penne, fusilli or farfalle.

Orzo With Tomatoes

Baked Orzo With Artichokes and Peas
This is a Greek-inspired pastitsio, a comforting béchamel-enriched mix of orzo, artichokes and peas. Rather than butter, the béchamel in this dish is made with a couple of glugs of good extra virgin olive oil.

Italian Bread And Tomato Salad

Orzo With Peas and Parsley Pesto
This is like a pasta version of the classic rice and peas risotto, risi e bisi. It’s a beautiful springtime dish. You can make a whole batch of pesto so that you have it on hand for other uses (like sandwiches), but for this dish you’ll need only a half batch.

Hearty Whole-Wheat Pasta With Brussels Sprouts, Cheese and Potato
This easy recipe is basically a macaroni and cheese with vegetables. It is a jumble of cuisines: British, with the brussels sprouts; Italian, the pasta with potatoes; and lavish, with its gooey mixture of ricotta, butter and Parmesan. It is also child-friendly and easy to cook on a weeknight.

Penne with Ricotta and Peas

Penne Alla Norma

Gorgonzola Walnut Crostini With Pear Salad

Potato Cavatelli
These are an easy, homey version of handmade pasta that freeze well. They are sturdier and more toothsome than gnocchi but have more character than dried cavatelli. It takes a little practice to get the flip of the indentation just right, but once you get the feel for it you can turn out enough for dinner quickly. They hold up well under a heavy tomato ragù, but also take well to a simple sauce of butter, a little pasta water and Parmesan or pecorino. This recipe is easy to double, too, which leaves plenty to freeze for another night. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet dusted in flour, then store in a zippered plastic bag.
