Caviar Noodles
Soba With Black-Eyed Peas and Spinach
I’m bringing together good luck charms from all over the globe in this comforting dish. Soba (buckwheat noodles) is traditional in Japan, black-eyed peas in the American South, and spinach or other greens pretty much everywhere. Buckwheat pasta does exist in Northern Italy; it's called pizzoccheri, and it’s traditionally tossed with a rich cabbage and cheese topping.
Stir-Fried Pork and Greens With Noodles
This Asian noodle dish is a simple combination of greens seasoned with ginger, garlic and pork. For a vegetarian version, you could substitute tofu for the pork.
Soba Noodles in Broth With Spinach and Shiitakes
This dish is inspired by a recipe by Sonoko Kondo in her wonderful book “The Poetical Pursuit of Food” (Clarkson Potter, 1986). Soba noodles represent longevity in Japan because they are long and lean. When you eat them, slurp them without breaking the noodles.
Swordfish, Black Beans And Red Pepper Pasta
Soba Noodles in Broth With Sweet Potato, Cabbage and Spinach
This simple Japanese soup can be served as a meal or as a starter. As the sweet potatoes and cabbage simmer in the broth of your choice, they infuse it with sweetness. Spinach is added at the last minute, and the soup is served with cooked soba noodles.
Naked Tofu With Cold Sesame Soba Noodles
Fresh white bean curd has been an integral part of Asian cooking for centuries. Some people turn up their noses: others love this chameleon that tastes like whatever it's cooked with.
Chicken and Scallion Soba
Stir-Fried Baby Squash, Long Beans, Corn and Chiles With Soba Noodles
Long beans stir-fry more quickly than regular green beans because they have a thinner husk, but if you can’t find long beans you can use regular ones, like Blue Lakes. I used purple long beans for this stir-fry but green ones will work as well. Make sure to drain and dry the vegetables on several thicknesses of paper towels after you wash them so that they sear properly.
Umami Garlic Noodles With Mustard Greens
The key to this heady noodle dish, adapted from “Vietnamese Food Any Day” (Ten Speed Press, 2019), is to build complexity by layering umami flavors in the pan. The cookbook’s author, Andrea Nguyen, starts with ingredients that are familiar to many pan-fried noodle dishes: oyster sauce, fish sauce, mushrooms, garlic. But then, in a brilliant move, she augments it all with a big dollop of salted, European-style cultured butter to add both creaminess and acidity. There’s also a touch of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the mix, which you can buy in Asian markets or other supermarkets sold under the name Accent Flavor Enhancer. It has a salty sweetness that deepens all the other flavors. But if you’d rather not use it, nutritional yeast also works well. If you can’t get mustard greens, substitute baby kale or spinach.
Wild Mushroom Lasagna
Spaghetti With Swordfish
Soba Noodles With Tofu, Shiitake Mushrooms and Broccoli
I like to use soba for this dish. The buckwheat noodles have a nutty flavor and contribute a measure of all-important whole grain to the dish.
Seafood Pasta With Tomato and Crushed Olives
Think of this as a weeknight fish stew with pasta rather than a seafood pasta. It's highly customizable: You can use whatever seafood you like, including but not limited to shellfish, like mussels, clams or shrimp, and firm-fleshed white fish, such as cod, halibut or flounder. The trick is to make sure the garlicky tomatoes are brothy enough to gently poach the seafood (which then further flavors the sauce), yet thick enough to coat each tube of pasta. Finished with briny olives and a smattering of fresh parsley, it's best eaten with a spoon and lots of thick-cut toast for sopping up all the goods.
Cha Ca La Wong
Up a flight of rickety stairs in Hanoi is a 100-year-old restaurant that is often a must-not-miss in guidebooks. It serves one iconic, delicious dish, called cha ca la Vong, which also happens to be the name of the restaurant. In the bright, noisy dining room, packed with communal tables set with little charcoal burners, a skillet of fish and other components arrives, and you submit to a brusque ceremony of tabletop cooking and do-it-yourself assembly. This version, from the chef Simpson Wong, omits shrimp paste and utilizes fresh turmeric.
Spiced Pasta, Avocado and Onion-Feta Salad
Pappardelle With Greens and Ricotta
This is the kind of pasta dish you could make for a dinner party when you have little time to prepare food in advance. Seek out fresh ricotta at Italian markets for best results.
Pasta With Wild Mushrooms
Cucumber Pasta
Toasted Ravioli
Shrimp Bolognese
This fishy take on the classic pasta sauce does everything the original does but with much less cooking. Tagliatelle is great, but you can use most other pasta shapes.
Pennette With Sea Scallops and Broccoli Florets
Fusilli With Tomatoes, Eggplant and Pine Nuts
