Soba and Herb Salad With Roasted Eggplant and Pluots
This dish is inspired by a Yotam Ottolenghi soba salad that pairs eggplant and soba with mango. Instead of mango, this recipe calls for plums or Pluots, the trademark for a cross between plums and apricots. This recipe offers a contrast of the savory/spicy and fruity/sweet.
Arctic Char With Soba Noodles, Pine Nuts and Lemon
Soba, the slender buckwheat noodles from Japan, are pale brown in color, earthy in flavor and springy in the bite. Pair them with a silky, pink piece of fish to create a simple, elegant study in contrasts. The fish here, Arctic char, is reminiscent of salmon but has a more delicate texture. It’s seasoned with cumin seeds that, in a clever move, are briefly toasted in a pan then steeped in oil. The deeply scented oil and seeds are then spooned over the fish for a rich coating of flavor. The fish is roasted about 10 minutes, to desired doneness, while the noodles are tossed in a dressing of finely ground pine nuts, garlic, lemon zest and juice, along with a ribbon of olive oil. The recipe calls for Meyer lemons, which are smooth-skinned, sweet, fragrant and juicy, without the acidic tartness of more commonplace lemons. Meyers are easier to find than they used to be, but are still something of a delicacy in the produce aisle. Regular lemons will do fine.

Orecchiette With Corn, Jalapeño, Feta and Basil
Sweet, peak season corn is at the heart of this flavorful and simple-to-make summer pasta. The jalapeño offers a pleasant kick, and the feta cheese tossed in at the end melts slightly, giving the sauce a silky texture. It’s worth seeking out orecchiette here, as it nicely catches the corn kernels, creating perfect bites. If you can’t find it, fusilli or farfalle would work in its place. Serve with a bright, simple salad alongside and fresh fruit for dessert.
Skillet Soba, Baked Tofu and Green Bean Salad With Spicy Dressing
You can make this salad with wide rice noodles, but I love the nutty flavor and wholesomeness of buckwheat soba.
Lemony Pasta With Kelp, Chile and Anchovies
Kelp, a hardy seaweed sold fresh, frozen or dried, gives this lemony pasta dish a salty depth that’s also extremely nutrient-dense. A little like pesto, the garlicky sauce coats the rigatoni in a bright green purée, flecked with darker bits of chopped parsley. Don’t skimp on the anchovies; they underscore the ocean flavor of the kelp, adding an appealing umami richness.
Baked Cheesy Pasta With Wild Mushrooms
A more sophisticated take on mac and cheese, this golden-topped casserole has roasted wild mushrooms for a deep, earthy character, and melted fontina for the gooey factor. You can use any kind of mushrooms here. If you can’t get wild ones (also called exotic, and most of them are actually farmed), use whatever is available. The key is to roast them until they are well browned and crisp at the edges so the flavor intensifies. Serve this as a vegetarian main course or as a rich side dish to roast chicken or meats. You can assemble the casserole the day before. Just add a few minutes onto the baking time if it’s cold from the fridge when you pop it into the oven.
Broccoli Rabe and Sausage With Orecchiette
Orecchiette With Grated Squash, Walnuts and Ricotta Salata
I don’t know why it had never occurred to me to grate hard winter squash until I started envisioning this pasta. If you have a food processor with a grater blade, this will be the easiest way you’ve ever prepared winter squash, short of sticking it in the oven skin and all. The cooked grated squash lodges in the indentations of the ear-shaped orecchiette, a perfect pairing.

Orecchiette With Broccoli Rabe and Red Pepper
Orecchiette with broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is a classic dish from Apulia, the region of Italy that makes up the heel of the country’s boot shape. To make the dish more colorful, I added red bell pepper to the traditional mix. The sweetness of the peppers makes a nice contrast to the bitter greens.
Orzo With Basil And Pine Nuts
Pasta With Salsa Crudo and Green Beans
You can make this uncooked grated tomato sauce while you’re waiting for the water to boil for the green beans and pasta. Choose a type of noodle that will catch the sauce, such as orecchiette, penne, fusilli or farfalle.
