Shrimp And Ginger Ravioli With Beurre Blanc
Manicotti With Cheese Filling and Bolognese Sauce
Pasta With Peas, Prosciutto and Lettuce
Since I began eating more plants and less meat, I’ve experimented with using small amounts of meat in ways that exploit its flavor without making it central to the dish. In this recipe — pasta with spring vegetables — the meat is literally a garnish, but one with huge impact. That meat is prosciutto, and it’s briefly cooked in a bit of oil, which accomplishes two things: It intensifies the ham’s salty, meaty flavor, and it makes the prosciutto crisp, turning it into a nice textural foil for the tender pasta, peas and lettuce. You do need three pans to make this dish — a small skillet, a large skillet and a large pot for the pasta — but it’s so fast that a little extra cleanup seems worth the trouble.
Toasted Spaghetti Primavera
Gnocchi With Wild-Mushroom Saute
Gnocchi With Light Bolognese Sauce
Spring Rolls With Carrots, Turnips, Rice Noodles and Herbs
This is a basic vegetable spring roll, vibrant with herbs and tangy because the vegetables and noodles are tossed with rice vinegar before being enclosed in the wrapper. You can vary the herbs. I’ve even used arugula from my garden, which is delicious
Pasta With Pesto, Potatoes and Broccoli
Orecchiette With Basil and Pistachio Pesto and Green and Yellow Beans
The small ear-shaped pasta provides hollows for the delicious sauce to settle into. I’ve combined pasta, pesto and green beans before, but I’ve never used orecchiette, the small ear-shaped pasta. I cut the beans into small lengths so that everything is bite-size. I love the way the pesto settles into the little hollows of the orecchiette.
Mee Goreng (Southeast Asian Fried Noodles)
Mee goreng is a popular fried noodle dish found in hawker centers throughout Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. If you're seeking a noodle dish that's salty, spicy, tangy and slightly sweet, this version will deliver, and is perfect for impressing guests at a dinner party. The sambal tumis is the true star, adding a kick that marries well with the fresh lime juice and soy sauce. It is traditionally made with yellow wheat noodles, but you can find versions that use dried instant noodles instead. You can also substitute chicken or extra vegetables and tofu for the shrimp.
Spring Rolls With Tofu, Vegetables, Rice Noodles and Herbs
Most spring rolls come with dipping sauce. I decided to put the dipping sauce on the inside, spread on the tofu, for a more portable, flavorful roll.
Spinach Soup With Pasta and Egg
Three-Greens Gratin
This is a Provençal style gratin, or tian, dense with greens and bound with rice and egg. You can play around with the mix of greens; switch out beet greens for spinach, or some of the chard for kale (kale will require a minute or two more of blanching). I have kept the seasonings to a minimum as you have plenty to prep, but a Provençal cook would probably add chopped parsley and perhaps savory or rosemary. You won’t be using the chard ribs here, but keep them to use in other dishes.
Pasta With Roasted Red Peppers and Goat Cheese
Years ago, I stayed with an Italian friend in Bologna who worked long hours at his job. By the time he got home, he was hungry, so he’d start water boiling and cast about his tiny kitchen to see what he could use for dinner. Then, to my fascination, he’d whip up a delicious pasta sauce from almost nothing: a few anchovies and some walnuts, or a can of tuna and another of beans. Yesterday’s bread became today’s bread crumbs, browned in olive oil with garlic and tossed with spaghetti, olives, capers and jarred tomato purée. I try to keep a jar of roasted peppers handy at all times. They’re useful for panini, pizzas and especially pastas like this one. Spanish piquillo peppers are particularly sweet, but bell peppers will do as well. If you have basil, it’s delicious in this dish — but not required.
Winter Squash, Leek and Farro Gratin With Feta and Mint
A delicious, and simple, winter squash gratin. This tastes like the filling of many Greek winter squash pies I have made, but it is a simpler dish. The squash is roasted, which gives it great depth of flavor. I love the sweetness of the squash against the salty feta, and the chewy farro against the tender squash. Most of the elements for this gratin can be prepared ahead if you want to go about this piecemeal – farro freezes well and keeps for a few days in the refrigerator; roasted squash keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days as well.
Angel-Hair Pasta With Creamy Peas And Prosciutto
Orecchiette With Broccoli, Chickpeas, Onions and Tomatoes
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.
Creamy Spinach, Pine Nuts And Raisins With Pasta
Shellfish Stew Over Rice Noodles
Vietnamese Turkey And Cellophane Noodle Salad
Spring Soba With Tinned Fish
While tinned mackerel and sardines may look like they’re hibernating, they’re actually hard at work, their confident flavors intensifying in that salt and olive oil. In this recipe, that seasoned oil is used to fry capers, char scallions and sauce whole-grain noodles. It’s balanced with spring’s sweetest vegetables: thinly sliced asparagus, crunchy snap peas or snow peas, slackened only slightly by salt and residual heat from the pan. Feel free to trade the scallions for garlic scapes or leeks, add fava beans or peas to the noodles in their final minutes of boiling or top the finished dish with pea greens or soft herbs.
Pasta With Portobello Mushrooms
Pasta With Walnut Sauce and Broccoli Raab
This creamy pasta is inspired by a Ligurian sauce that is traditionally served with ravioli filled with greens.
