Whole Grain Macaroni and Cheese
This is a macaroni and cheese that's not too heavy and benefits mightily from the use of whole-wheat pasta and the addition of broccoli. You can assemble it ahead and bake it when you need it, or bake it ahead and reheat. There are a number of excellent whole wheat macaroni products on the market now. Check out Community Grains and MagNoodles. When you cook the macaroni, be sure to cook it for less time than usual so that it is more al dente; otherwise it will become too soft and may fall apart when you bake it in the final casserole.
Mesclun Salad With Roasted Peppers
Oven-Dried Tomato Tian With Creamy Lima Beans And Goat Cheese
Crispy Parmesan Roast Chicken With Lemon
Sprinkling grated Parmesan over a whole chicken as it roasts yields extra-crisp, extra-savory skin in this recipe, while chopped fresh rosemary and lemon zest perfume the meat through and through. Be sure to serve this with the lemony pan drippings, which make a bright, rich sauce for the tender meat. Heat lovers should feel free to add plenty of red-pepper flakes to the drippings — or serve red pepper on the side for individual spicing.

Any Vegetable Tart
Perfect for casual entertaining, this rustic tart can be tailored to whatever vegetables you have on hand. The key here is to use either precooked vegetables, or quick-cooking raw vegetables that won’t release too much liquid as they bake, making the pastry soggy. (See Tips below, for more.) So the crust tastes like a buttery cheese straw, an optional layer of grated Gruyère or Cheddar is scattered onto the bottom of the baking pan before the dough is placed on top. The whole tart bakes up golden brown, savory and wonderfully crunchy. Serve this on the same day it’s baked for maximum flakiness.
Goat Cheese With Shallot-Cassis Marmalade
Baked Spinach Rice
A favorite family casserole, updated. My mother served this as a side dish for company. I have adapted it, using fresh spinach and other embellishments.
Apple and Cheese Pie
One-Pot Creamy Pasta and Greens
In this recipe, frozen spinach, pasta and a whole lot of milk come together to create a satisfying pasta dish that will remind you of the best creamed spinach you’ve ever had. Stir the mixture often and vigorously to help the pasta release its starch and create a rich sauce. The lemon peel provides a bright citrus flavor, but you can leave it out. If you’d like a spicy version, add a dash of red-pepper flakes along with the shallot and garlic. You can also substitute different greens: Instead of frozen spinach, you can use 2 cups of chopped dark leafy greens, like chard or kale.
Spinach and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
Many types of greens would be delicious in these quesadillas. Spinach is the quickest to wilt and the easiest to find.
Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan
Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it’s worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it’s the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it’s the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts. (This recipe is adapted from "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes" by Alison Roman.)

White-Clam Quesadillas
I love beer with seafood, especially casual summer seafood like lobster rolls, fried clams and steamers. A good white-clam pizza also calls for a refreshing pale ale. Using the pizza as my inspiration, I made clam quesadillas that I seared on the grill. While they were still sizzling hot, with the mellow cheese starting to ooze, I cut them into wedges, which disappeared almost as fast as the frosty mugs of beer. With a small portable grill, you can prepare them to cook at the beach or in the park. And if the weather does not cooperate, sear them on a griddle or under the broiler.
Burrata With Snap Peas and Shiitakes
This recipe plays cleanup in the kitchen, perfect for the depths of summer when counters and crispers are overflowing with the season's gifts. Don't crowd the mushrooms in the pan, which will affect the browning. If burrata isn't available, feel free to substitute the freshest mozzarella you can find.
Braised Melange Of Vegetables Glazed With Parmesan
Broccoli Rabe, Olive and Parmesan Calzone
A calzone has many of the perks of pizza. Easy and crowd pleasing, it’s a good vehicle for using up odds and ends in the fridge. It also has some happy benefits of its own. For one, you can get away with adding a lot more cheese. In fact, it’s practically mandatory. You need to stuff enough ricotta and mozzarella into the dough so that it ripples attractively, rising as it bakes. Unlike an apple turnover, which wants to stay flat, a calzone should peak and singe at the top. (True, you could cram the dough full of vegetables and the like, but if you love cheese, calzones are the place to indulge.) Another calzone advantage is the element of surprise. Pizza gives it all up as soon as it lands on the table; serve a calzone to a group and let them anticipate the moment when they find out what’s inside.
