Creamy Chicken Pasta with Mushrooms & Tomatoes
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 …
Lemon Couscous
Try something other than spaghetti with our Greek meatballs! Pearl couscous with lemon is a great side dish substitute. Plus, it only takes 10 minutes to put together.
Thunder & Lightning Pasta
This dish gets its name from the sound created when the vegetables and pasta sizzle in the pan. The Thunder & Lightning Pasta makes a great vegetarian dish — it’s filling and the chickpeas provide protein. Just increase the portion size by doubling the recipe.
Chicken & Couscous
You’ve never had couscous quite like this. If it seems familiar, it’s probably the creative addition of ingredients that are usually reserved for Asian stir-fries.
Take a trip around the world with the internationally inspired ingredients featured in this dish. They go together surprisingly well and add up to a tasty, healthful dinner.
Couscous is most popular in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines. But here, it’s cooked with a chicken broth and soy sauce mixture and flav…
Beef Bolognese
If you can find 45 minutes to spare, upgrade that predictable pasta dinner with a rich and hearty ragu-style sauce. Although Bolognese [boh-loh-NYEHzeh] has many of the same ingredients as spaghetti sauce — and is served over basic pasta here — don’t confuse the two. This sauce is really more of a ragu, or stew, with layers of flavor.
After the meats are browned, a mixture of onion, carrot, and celery is added — this is called mirepoix [mihrPWAH]. In classic cooking, it’s as much of a…
Tofu Mac ‘n Cheese
Learn how to make a healthier mac 'n cheese recipe with this recipe for Tofu Mac 'n Cheese! Smooth and silky, this lighter homemade mac 'n cheese is just as delicious, if not more, as classic mac 'n cheese.
Mac 'n Cheese with Crumb Topping
If you’re on a quest for the perfect mac ‘n cheese, the search ends here. This really should be called Mac Creamy & Cheesy! A good portion of the mac ‘n cheese connoisseurs out there would agree that Velveeta versions are just about as good as they get. This grown-up rendition features the characteristics those folks know and love, plus some.
In addition to lots of sharp white Cheddar, this recipe calls for cream and cream cheese. This makes the pasta unbelievably smooth, creamy, …
Bacon & Sweet Corn Pasta
Easy to make and take, this pasta salad is perfect for rounding out any barbecue buffet. Load it up with fresh-from-the-garden zucchini, corn straight off the cob, and pungent summer basil. Pine nuts offer toasty crunch, while adding bacon makes it all so savory and satisfying.
At this point, the pasta salad just needs some sort of dressing to tie everything together. You don’t want to overpower the taste, texture, and color of all the mix-ins, so forgo the typical mayonnaise base, an…
Chicken Primavera with Lemon-Chive Farfalle
Quick-cooking chicken breasts and tenders (the piece from under the breast) tend to be the go-to cuts, but they don’t have as much flavor as dark meat. Use these two recipes to liven them up.
For the primavera, sear the breasts for more flavor, which also leaves tasty bits in the pan for building a sauce. Then thicken the sauce with a beurre manié [burr mahn-YAY], chock-full of thyme and garlic, that also gives the sauce velvety smooth texture.
Orecchiette & Broccoli Rabe
This hearty vegetarian pasta recipe balances rich, bitter, and tangy flavors in a way you’ve never seen.
Broccoli rabe, a pungent green related to cabbage and turnips, is an ideal foil for the warm, rich sauce and toasted beans in this dish. Broccoli rabe can be bitter, but the acid in both lemon and tomatoes does wonders to help cut through the less pleasant aspect of its distinct flavor. If it’s still too bitter for your taste, try adding a bit more salt to tame it.
Margherita Lasagna
Margherita pizzas — and even pasta dishes — are always crowdpleasers. Now try the classic combo of ingredients in lasagna form!
Made with a fresh tomato sauce and three types of cheese, this Margherita Lasagna will fill you up without weighing you down. One way to keep the dish from feeling too heavy is to make a satisfying vegetarian sauce. Use two types of tomatoes — meaty Romas help thicken the sauce, while cherry or “gourmet” tomatoes (such as Campari) provide a fresh taste with …
Cheese Noodles
Grillades are usually served with grits, but ours are spooned over cheesy egg noodles. Egg noodles can be found anywhere, and cook faster than grits. Egg noodles cook in under 10 minutes, making them a great weeknight side dish. You can serve picked jalapeños on the side for extra spice.
