Black Olive Gnocchi With Tomatoes and Basil
The eye can influence wine choices almost as easily as the nose or the palate. Snowy little pillows of gnocchi often suggest a white wine, but before me was a plate of dusky ones, darkened with black olive paste. The dish demanded a red wine, one with rustic heft. Black olive gnocchi is a highlight at La Terrazza, the restaurant at the Splendido Hotel in Portofino, Italy, where I opted for a local red, a Rossese di Dolceacqua, alongside. The preparation is simple and will be successful as long as you apply a light touch.

Basic Dough for Fresh Egg Pasta
Fresh pasta isn’t something you can master in one go. There’s a learning curve. Only experience can teach you how the dough should feel and how thin to roll it. (Not that it needs to be rolled by hand with a rolling pin. A hand-crank pasta machine is a fine tool, perfect for a small batch.) But pasta making isn’t rocket science either. Most competent home cooks will succeed, even if they never match the prowess of mythic Italian nonnas. Fresh homemade egg pasta is definitely worth the effort, though, and it is always better than commercially produced versions.

Hot-and-Sour Soba Salad
I find any combination of noodles and hot-and-sour dressing fairly addictive, and none more than these earthy buckwheat noodles. You can make a meal of this salad if you add a little protein in the form of tofu, shredded chicken or shrimp.

Green-Tea Noodle And Cucumber Salad

Turkey Ragù
Here, ground turkey is simmered with chopped tomatoes, red wine and pancetta into a rich and hearty meat sauce. Use dark meat if you can find it. It's more flavorful and richer than ground breast.

Pasta With Caramelized Onion, Swiss Chard and Garlicky Bread Crumbs
The warm, nutty flavor of good varieties of whole wheat pasta is robust enough to stand up to intense, complicated sauces, yet satisfying with just a little butter and Parmesan shaved over the top.

Orecchiette With Raw and Cooked Tomatoes
Here’s a great destination for the last of your summer tomatoes. The sauce is a great blend of concentrated, sweet cooked tomatoes and vibrant fresh tomatoes with garlic.

Linguine With Sautéed Shrimp, Tomatoes and Peppers
Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey’s “60 Minute Gourmet” column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.
