Tomato-Lemon Orzo
Toasting orzo in garlicky oil, then simmering in chicken broth, makes a incredibly flavorful side dish. A bit of bright flavor from tomatoes and citrus makes this orzo an ideal bed for Mediterranean Lamb Shanks and a deep-flavored sauce.
Feta Pastina
Toss together tiny pasta noodles, feta, oil, and some seasonings for a side dish that reflects the Greek inspiration of the menu. Pastina translates to “little pasta.” Acini di pepe is one variety, but you can use others like ditalini or orzo, too.
Shrimp & Scallop Fettuccine
Celebrate a couple of the ocean’s most popular catches by serving them on a bed of pasta in a light white wine sauce.
Shrimp and scallops are some of the quickest-cooking proteins around, and with a little attention and the right amount of seasoning, achieving perfection couldn’t be simpler.
For the scallops, quality starts with what you buy. If possible, buy dry-packed scallops. Wet-packed scallops have been treated with phosphates, which can make them watery. When cooking the…
Shrimp & Goat Cheese Linguine
Easy-to-find ingredients and sweet fresh tarragon put this recipe in a prime position to become a regular favorite.
This dish is a complete meal you can turn to year-round. Canned tomatoes, bright fresh herbs, and ingredients you probably have in your pantry make it easy to pull together no matter what the season. Goat cheese gives the dish creamy tang, and shrimp makes it quick.
Tarragon is a distinctive herb, used often in classic French cooking, with a sweet aroma reminiscen…
Puttanesca with Pepperoncini
This saucy dish is sure to draw you in with its bold heat, big flavors, and alluring aromas.
Puttanesca is a tomato-based sauce that features capers, olives, and anchovy paste for an enticing blend of Old World flavors. Even if you aren’t crazy about anchovies, don’t leave the salty paste out — the sauce really suffers without it. Pepperoncini aren’t typical in puttanesca, but they bring an extra element of heat and brininess.
Gaeta olives are small Italian olives that turn dar…
Pappardelle & Arugula with Pistachios
Pasta and peppery arugula form the foundation for a side dish that’s salty, briny, sweet, and crunchy — it’s perfectly balanced.

Southwestern Pasta Salad
Crisp vegetables give this colorful pasta salad crunch, while lime, avocado, and cayenne pepper add Latin flair.
Mushroom Orzo Risotto
Warm and inviting, this pasta dish is sure to fit comfortably into your weeknight schedule. Mushrooms and healthful Swiss chard make the meatless meal extraordinarily hearty.
Risotto is a rich and creamy Italian specialty you can bulk up with almost anything. Made with orzo instead of rice, this version isn’t really risotto, but it achieves the same result (it's also called orzotto). Sauté the dry orzo with shallots for toasty flavor, then cook it like you would risotto.
Grilled Chicken & Pasta
Sometimes one small element is all a dish needs to go from good to great. Here, preserved lemons offer the proper punch.
Essential to Moroccan cuisine, preserved (or pickled) lemons are used as a flavoring by many of today’s leading chefs, and if they aren’t already on your radar, they should be. Packed with salt, then cured for 30 days in a brine of lemon juice and olive oil, they come out with a mellowed salty-sour flavor and a softened, almost silky rind that can add distinctive fl…
Orzo Provençal with Tarragon Vinaigrette
What makes this Provençal, you ask? The combination of white wine vinegar, shallots, tarragon, Dijon, walnuts, and goat cheese make this easy side dish decidedly French. Widely used in French cooking, tarragon is known for its anise-like flavor. It can easily overpower a dish, so take care when using it.

Pasta is always a busy cook’s friend. Add chicken and a creamy mushroom sauce and it’s a best friend to anyone who eats. Pasta is definitely a dinner staple. It’s easy to see why — you can dress it up or down and it’s quick.
This version with chicken and a rich, creamy mushroom sauce falls into the dressed-down category. Much of this dish’s richness comes from the creamy mascarpone cheese added to the mushrooms to form a sauce. Mascarpone is really just a delicate, buttery version of …
