Potato Gnocchi from Scratch
Tender potato gnocchi from scratch aren’t heavy like those prepackaged bombs at the market. This recipe includes flour, potatoes and one extra-large egg.
Springtime Spaghetti Carbonara
This lighter, brighter version of the classic Italian pasta dish is adapted from one found in “Almost Meatless: Recipes That Are Better for Your Health and the Planet” by Joy Manning and Tara Mataraza Desmond. It is incredibly simple – if you can chop vegetables, boil water and whisk eggs, you can make this dish – but it's also indubitably luxurious. Everyone will think you slaved for hours when, really, you slaved for about 20 minutes. Timing is everything in this recipe, so be sure to bring your eggs to room temperature before you start, and have all of the ingredients ready before you toss the pasta in the water.

Garlic Soup With Pasta and Peas
This garlic soup, which is based on a Provençal recipe, requires a minimal number of the staples that I always have on hand.

Lemony Linguine
Famished, this recipe was born from ingredients I have on hand. Quick and easy enough for when you're "hangry" (so hungry, you're angry) but filling and delicious. There are plenty of possibilities and add-ins, but the simplicity of this suits me just fine.
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.
Cacio e Pepe, Pronto!
Traditional Roman pasta dish Cacio e Pepe is a comfort food, which is often the case with few-ingredient dishes, but it’s also one that has a touch of sophistication. The simple act of frying freshly ground pepper in olive oil to the height of its fragrance will make your kitchen smell like you’ve been up to something fancy. Unlike a desperation dinner of cold cereal or frozen pizza, you might even invite the neighbours to sit down and join you if they happened to drop by. Cacio e Pepe, however, is undoubtedly best enjoyed alone, in what might be your first moment of silence all day, with a glass of whatever red wine is lying around already open. Cook a little extra, as this, like any comfort food, begs for seconds.
Cacio e Pepe with Egg

No-frills Pasta Carbonara for One

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.
