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.

Caramelized Onion & Chickpea Pasta
Caramelized onions create the magic in this dish, while the chickpeas and pasta add that satisfying chew. Consider making a big batch to have on hand to spice up other dishes. It will keep refrigerated for a week and several months when frozen. The aroma that permeates the house when you caramelize them is bewitching.

Scallion Dry Ramen
Practically bare naked, the scallions are completely transformed into sweet bits of caramelized umami by the frying, and believe me (for your own benefit) when I say that this is simplicity at its best.
Rigatoni and Cauliflower al Forno
Cauliflower is perhaps the least appreciated member of the large family of cruciferous vegetables, no doubt due to memories of encountering it boiled, flabby and timidly seasoned, if seasoned at all. When cooked properly, it is a delight. Cauliflower can stand up to rather bold seasoning, in fact. In this recipe, it gets garlic, sage, red pepper and capers. And it is browned in olive oil, which further enhances the flavor. If you want a terrific side vegetable, just serve the sautéed cauliflower and skip the rigatoni. But combining the cauliflower with large-format pasta, pecorino cheese and bread crumbs, then baking it until crisply golden, makes for a splendid meal.
Mezzi Rigatoni with Tomatoes, Lots of Herbs, Hot Oil, and Mozzarella
Imagine it's a sunny summer day. You're hungry, so you walk out into the garden, pick ripe tomatoes off the vine, cut a big handful of parsley, mint, basil, chives, maybe some rosemary and a little thyme, then head into the kitchen to make this simple pasta dish. The tomatoes are still warm from the sun, and your hands smell of licorice, pine, and mint. It's already a heady experience and you've only just begun. When you mix the herbs in a bowl with hot olive oil, their fragrance immediately fills the air and the tomatoes release their juices, mingling with the oily goodness in the bowl. The warm pasta goes in, along with some tender fresh mozzarella, and in no time you've satisfied your hunger in a big way. Try it sometime.
Pesto Pasta Salad
Garlicky pesto and sweet peas team up with mild mozzarella and al dente pasta for a super-quick and super-tasty pasta salad. Leave as-is for a meatless meal or side or add chunks of pre-cooked chicken or shrimp for a meal in a bowl. Change the peas to any small green vegetable you'd like, as well.

Simple Fresh Pasta
