Oven-Roasted Mussels With Fresh Spinach
Mussels don’t have to be steamed. They will pop open in a hot, dry cast iron skillet on a grill or in the oven. In this dish they are first tossed with garlic, olive oil and wine, then roasted along with the marinade in a pan in a hot oven. You may have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet or baking dish. I like to use cast iron or enameled cast iron. This particular recipe is inspired by one in "The Mozza Cookbook," by Nancy Silverton. Served over a generous bed of steamed spinach, this is a beautiful dish. If you have leftovers, remove the mussels from the shells, chop the spinach and toss with pasta.
Agnello Cacio E Uova (Neapolitan Fricassee Of Spring Lamb)
Corkscrew Pasta With Tomatoes And Basil
A simple tomato sauce, made from fresh or canned tomatoes, is the foundation for vast numbers of dishes, but it is also very good on its own. This recipe makes twice the amount of sauce needed for the dish. The rest can be refrigerated or frozen. Use fresh tomatoes, but only if they are very ripe, sweet and flavorful; about two pounds will do. Peel, seed and coarsely chop them before adding them to the saucepan. A pinch of sugar will help to accentuate the natural sweetness. Fresh tomatoes will need to cook about 10 minutes longer than canned.

Creamed-Mushroom Bruschetta With Caramelized Onions
Start by making the caramelized onions. These take a great deal of time. The onions here, barely slicked with neutral oil, surrounded by sweet wine, can take up to 30 minutes to achieve the excellence you are looking for. You stir and stir and stir.
Fresh Fava Bean and Shrimp Risotto
This luxurious risotto is a cinch to make. Use the plumpest, juiciest shrimp you can find.

Spaghetti With Fava Beans, Bread Crumbs and Marjoram
This recipe is inspired by a dish from southern Italy made with fresh peas rather than fava beans. Substitute one for the other, depending on what you find at the market. In the original peasant recipe, bread crumbs stand in for cheese, but I’ve given you the option here of Parmesan or pecorino.
Cacio e Pepe with Peas and Favas
Peeling fava beans is a fiddly task that includes removing the beans from their pods, blanching them and then peeling off the skins. But for a light dish of pasta, peas, cracked black pepper and cheese, it’s well worth the effort. Favas can be found in farmers markets in the spring and summer. This dish is one of their highest uses.

Whole-Grain Pasta With Mushrooms, Asparagus and Favas
Pasta companies have made great strides when it comes to whole-grain pasta. On the small scale, Community Grains in Northern California is producing some excellent pasta with its amazing whole-wheat flour, and on the larger commercial scale, companies like Barilla are selling better and better products. I used Barilla penne for this springtime mix.
