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.

Chile Con Queso
Hot, spicy dip, great for party or football watching. Pair with your favorite tortilla chips. Delicious and fun to serve at Christmas with the red of the tomatoes and the green of the chilies.
Chicken Parmesan
A classic Italian-American Parmesan — a casserole of fried, breaded meat or eggplant covered with tomato sauce and molten cheese — is all about balance. You need a bracing a tomato sauce to cut out the fried richness, while a milky, mild mozzarella rounds out the Parmesan’s tang. Baked until brown-edged and bubbling, it’s classic comfort food — hearty, gooey and satisfying. Although chicken or veal cutlets are the standard, boneless, skinless chicken thighs make a more flavorful alternative. Pork or turkey cutlets work nicely here, too. Serve with an assertively-dressed green salad and a loaf of crusty bread. Store leftover chicken Parmesan in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 6 months.
Cauliflower Parmesan
Think of cauliflower Parmesan as the winter analogue to eggplant Parmesan. This fried cauliflower is worth making all on its own, with golden, crisp florets that are impossible to stop eating. But they’re even better when given the parm treatment — baked with marinara sauce, mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until bubbling and browned. If you’re not a cauliflower fan, this recipe also works with broccoli.

Garbanzo Bean Salad with Tomato, Avocado, Blue Cheese and Balsamic
At a typical dinnertime my husband and I have salad, and more than once he has looked over and seen me dumping garbanzo beans onto mine resulting in a running joke that goes something like: "Do you want any salad with those garbanzo beans?" In an act of defiant sarcasm I set out a few months ago to make a salad that was literally made (almost) entirely of garbanzos and it actually turned out to be a favorite in our home. It's now my go-to work day dream lunch since it is super easy, simple and filling.

Pasta carbonara, the Italian way
Hot Pepper Jelly Grilled Cheese
The new copy of Food & Wine came in and had a picture of ooey-gooey grilled cheese on it. I saw the hot pepper jelly and that stuck in my head. Fast forward a couple of weeks, its cold in Michigan and soup / sandwich sounds comforting. Below is what came of it. I also took the sandwiches, cut them in 16ths and took them as an appetizer for New Years.
Tortilla Soup With Roasted Cauliflower 'Rice'
This is not exactly authentic, but I wanted to add a vegetable to my tortilla soup, to make it more of a dinner in a bowl, so I decided to shave cauliflower, toss the ricelike pieces with oil and chili powder, and roast it. I loved the addition of the spicy roasted cauliflower to each bowl of soup, along with the tortilla crisps that I toasted in the microwave rather than frying. You can make this soup even more substantial by adding eggs (see the variation that follows the recipe).
