Kale lasagna roll-ups with tomato cream sauce look like you tried much harder than you did. Each noodle curls around a garlicky kale and ricotta filling, bakes in a blush-pink sauce, and comes out as its own tidy portion. Tired of the same old heavy,...
Creamy brown rice risotto with mushrooms is the whole-grain version that actually works: nutty, chewy, and just as comforting as the white rice original. Budget about an hour, most of it spent stirring in stock. There are few dishes as comforting as a bowl of...
Creamy polenta with puttanesca-style sauce is briny, bold, and on the table in 45 minutes. Green peppers, Kalamata olives, and capers simmer into a chunky tomato sauce that settles into soft polenta like they were made for each other. There's something magical about a...
Penne with hearty eggplant sauce is the 40-minute pasta I make when eggplants look good at the market. Cubes of eggplant fry until golden, then simmer into a garlicky tomato sauce that clings to every tube. Have you ever noticed how the shape of pasta can completely...
The Ultimate Taste of Summer in a Bowl There are some recipes that are less about cooking and more about assembling, letting the sheer perfection of seasonal ingredients do all the work. This is one of them. When summer hits its peak, and the farmers' market tables...
Linguine with Swiss chard, garlic, and red pepper is the 30-minute pasta I make when the crisper drawer is overflowing. A cup of starchy pasta water turns olive oil, butter, and garlic into a glossy sauce that clings to every strand. Ready for a pasta dish that's as...

Is there anything more comforting than a bubbling, cheesy, perfectly layered lasagne fresh from the oven? I think not! This vegetable lasagne is my go-to recipe for a reason. It’s endlessly adaptable, packed with flavor, and proves that you don’t need meat to create a...
Crispy tofu-stuffed wontons are my party trick: silken tofu and ginger sealed inside wonton wrappers and fried to shattery gold at 350°F (180°C). They take thirty minutes and make about thirty pieces, which sounds like plenty until people start. Serve with your...
This 30-minute noodle dish with a tangy twist — wide rice noodles stir-fried with shiitakes, cabbage, and ginger, then sharpened with rice vinegar — is the bright note my noodle routine needed. Sweet, sour, and savory in one pan, fast enough for any weeknight. A...
Homemade vegetarian steamed dumplings are the best kind of project dinner — a tofu-and-vegetable filling seasoned with ginger, soy, and sesame, folded into round wrappers and steamed until glossy. Forty minutes makes about two dozen. They disappear at roughly twice...
