Keeping in line with the low carb craze, I created this recipe with lots of flavor, but minimal ingredients - quick, easy, delicious, very healthy!

Simply Sublime Tomato Sauce
Make this sauce only when you have truly ripe tomatoes and an excellent olive oil on hand. Because the sauce only has three ingredients, each one needs to be the best you can find.

Cacio e Pepe
It is among the most basic, simplest pastas there is, and one of the darlings of Rome, appearing on nearly every menu. Why? Because when made right, it is incredible. The secret, as it turns out, is to stir the mostly cooked pasta quite vigorously so that its starch emulsifies with the seasonings and added water.

Pasta with Ricotta and Saffron (Pasta alla Barbara)
When I lived in Siena, Italy, my host mother Barbara would often make this dish from her favorite TV food personality Benedetta Parodi. A sort of Italian Rachael Ray, Benedetta has a knack for fast family friendly dishes, as evidenced by the fact even my picky 2 year old host sister delightedly gobbled this down. I love how using just a little saffron turns ordinary pasta into something much more special. The key is to use fresh, creamy ricotta. At that point, you are only 10 minutes away from a weeknight dinner worthy of the finest Italian restaurant.

PUMPKIN & PANCETTA PASTA
A few years ago, I lived in Bologna -- home to Italy's best pasta. One of my favorite meals there: pumpkin, pancetta and penne. Pasta alla zucca is a slippery mix of roast squash, grated cheese and pan-fried pork. I first tasted it in Osteria del Montesino -- a neighborhood eatery filled with anarchist students. It tasted so good that I had to ask how to make it. The cook's reply: 1) bake the squash, 2) stir with cheese / pancetta, 3) toss and 4) serve. Roasting the squash brings out sugary notes balanced by the umami of the salted pork.
Smoked Salmon Penne
What to do with too much lox and not enough bagels? Make this dish. It's a quick supper yet elegant enough for company. This was inspired by a recipe from Carlo Middione.
Livorno Punch (Ponce Livornese)

Minestrone With Giant White Beans and Winter Squash
The inspiration for this minestrone was a bag of Rancho Gordo Royal Corona beans that I have had in my pantry for a while. Royal Coronas are large white European runner beans that are similar to Greek gigandes but bigger, richer and sturdier. They are about twice the size of a lima bean and, unlike many other large white beans, the skin doesn’t slip off when you soak them. If you substitute limas I would not soak the beans, but if you use the Royal Coronas, do soak them to shorten the cooking time. The beans are downright meaty and the soup is a hearty one. I didn’t even feel the need to add pasta or rice to this substantial minestrone.
