Bucatini Pasta with Amatriciana Sauce

  The key to this recipe for me is the pasta cut. Originating from Amatrice in the of Lazio region of Italy. A couple of ingredients and simple to make. If you can not find Guanciale or Pancetta you can sub a piece of thick-cut bacon.

Pan Seared Scallops with Bacon Fennel Cream Sauce

  This recipe for pan seared scallops with bacon fennel cream sauce makes an ideal dinner party idea that doesn’t take much time at all. If you prep all your ingredients beforehand and have them at the ready beside the stove, the cooking time should really be about 15 minutes. The creamy fennel flavoured sauce […]

Campanelle Pasta with Sweet Corn, Tomatoes, and Basil

The ingredients in this summery pasta dish are few, so fresh corn and ripe tomatoes are key. To create a creamy sauce without cream, we grate the corn kernels from the cobs. To reinforce the corn flavor, we boil the cobs in the water that is later used to cook the pasta. Using a minimal […]

Curried Ground Shrimp and Noodles

This recipe for spicy, citrusy noodles is a much-loved menu staple at Pêche restaurant in New Orleans. Chef Donald Link is such a fan of their weeknight ease, he’s even known to make them at home, sometimes subbing Massaman curry paste for the curry powder.

Better Chicken Marsala

In our recipe for chicken Marsala, we take a new approach to fabricating and cooking chicken cutlets. First, we cut each chicken breast in half crosswise. Then, we cut the thicker half in half horizontally to make three identically sized pieces that can easily be pounded into cutlets. We salt the cutlets briefly to boost […]

Chicken Marsala (featuring sweet Marsala)

  This is ATK's original Chicken Marsala recipe from season 2 of the show that uses a sweet Marsala wine. ATK has since updated the recipe with a "better" savory version and they have removed the original recipe from their site. They have even linked the updated version to the original video episode. Whether you […]

Paella for Two

  This classic saffron-scented rice dish from Valencia, Spain, with its signature crispy bottom crust and a melange of proteins, often contains a laundry list of ingredients, requires special equipment (a traditional, shallow Paella pan), and is meant to serve a crowd. To make paella for two people, we found some shortcuts. First, we used […]

Mushroom Carbonara

  Mushrooms take the place of the traditional cured pork in this vegetarian carbonara recipe—but fear not, the dish does not lack depth of flavor! A deep browning on the mushrooms, coupled with garlic and shallots, brings the humble button mushroom to a higher place. This pasta is rich, creamy and packed with flavor.

Creamy Steak Fettuccine

There is without a doubt nothing finer than a perfectly cooked steak. Slicing it into perfect slithers it’s almost impossible not to sneak the odd chunk away for “testing”. Naughty! The silky, creamy pasta with the perfect tang of tomatoes and aroma of garlic makes this into the most luxurious mid-week dinner you’ll ever eat.

Moorish Paella

I love paella because it is a little more hearty and cozy than a lot of pasta dishes but just as versatile–you can pretty much fill the dish with whatever you have on hand. I came up with this recipe after a dinner party left me with a few lamb sausages, lots of spices and […]

Pasta Con le Sarde (Sicilian Pasta With Sardines)

A classic pasta from Palermo in Siciliy, pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines) is unlike just about any other Italian pasta dish. Heavily influenced by the cooking of Arabs who ruled Sicily more than a thousand years ago, it features long bucatini or spaghetti in a slick, luscious, and fragrant sauce made from onions, […]

Spanish-Style Toasted Pasta with Shrimp and Clams

  Traditional recipes for fideuà can take several hours to prepare. We wanted to streamline the recipe but keep the deep flavors of the classic recipes. To replace the slow-cooked fish stock of the classics, we made a quick shrimp stock using the shrimp’s shells, a combination of chicken broth and water, and a bay […]

Adult “SpaghettiOs”

  These are extra saucy and a little sweet like the original SpaghettiOs, but with grown-up flavors all around.

Giant No-Flip Blueberry Pancake

  While we love the concept of making pancakes for a crowd, we don’t love the reality of standing over the stove, dishing out pancakes to guests like a short-order cook (and we definitely don’t love relegating the early batches of pancakes to the oven, where their texture will surely suffer). And so this crowd-feeding […]
