Simple buttery noodles with scallions and paprika are what I cook when comfort needs to be fast — twenty-five minutes, a short ingredient list, one pan of alchemy. The butter browns lightly, the paprika blooms in it, and the scallions go in at the end. It's a...
Fast vegetarian and vegan tomato sauce is the twenty-minute recipe that ends the jarred-sauce debate — onion softened in olive oil, good tomatoes, and nothing to get in the way. Made with oil it's fully vegan; with butter it turns rounder and silkier. A handful...
