Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce
For a smooth, full-flavored pasta sauce recipe in which the tomatoes and cream would complement each other, we combined crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sun-dried tomatoes and added the cream to the finished tomato mixture at the last minute.
Pasta with Shrimp and Browned Butter
We build big flavor into this dish by cooking tagliatelle or pappardelle—dried pastas made with egg—in a skillet, directly in the liquid that becomes the pasta sauce. The noodles’ delicate texture pairs perfectly with sweet, briny shrimp and the nuttiness of browned butter. Use larger-sized shrimp, large or extra-large, so they remain tender and plump. […]
Pan-Cooked Albacore with Soy and Mirin
You won’t break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department.

French Onion Beef Noodle Soup
This super-savory dish draws its inspiration from Taiwanese beef noodle soup, then gilds the lily with a Dutch oven’s worth of sweet, slow-simmered onions—the best part of French onion soup, if you ask this recipe’s developer, Amiel Stanek. It takes some doing, but the effort is worth it. If you’re not planning on serving […]

Spring Vegetable Pasta
For a fresh version of a pasta primavera recipe, we used a pair of spring classics—asparagus and green peas—plus other flavor-packed vegetables and aromatics. We found that by sautéing the vegetables in stages in a large Dutch oven, we could ensure that each one maintained its crisp-tender texture while taking on a touch of flavorful […]
Sichuan Stir-Fried Pork in Garlic Sauce
When it comes to replicating this classic Chinese stir-fry, the biggest issue is vexingly familiar: how to cook tender, juicy pork. To keep the pork tender and juicy in this flavorful stir-fry, we first soak the meat in a baking soda solution, which tenderizes and moisturizes the meat. Before stir-frying, we coat the treated […]

Cubanelle peppers, sometimes sold as […]
