Think of this weeknight-friendly pasta recipe as a lighter take on the classic Italian ragù that features cherry tomatoes, a red chile for some heat, and tons of fresh basil.

Nothing says “I’m on vacation” like a two-hour, three-glasses-of-rosé lunch—starring this salad.

This salad is a riff on melon and prosciutto. We swapped the melon for jammy figs and sweet tomatoes.

Dish out individual servings in your favorite cocktail glasses for a lazy dessert that punches above its weight class.

Soft, billowy homemade whipped cream with juicy, sweet macerated berries.

To make this endlessly riffable salad, pair whatever produce you’ve got with 7-minute eggs, a mustardy dressing, and your favorite protein.

Your answer to the age-old question "What can I make ahead of time and throw in my bag to feed myself (and, okay, my friends) when we finally make it to the beach/park/festival/fireworks?"

Buttery, garlicky, irresistible shrimp scampi—but make it pasta.

This classic-done-right is moist but not wet, extra-fluffy, boozy but not overwhelmingly so, and made with real coffee instead of espresso powder.

Risotto is like a clingy baby. And if you give it all of your patient attention, it will turn into a puddle of love.

Finally: an easy, cheesy, vegetarian(!) lasagna recipe that doesn't require you to dirty every pot and pan in your kitchen.

Like a hot ham and cheese sandwich, but slathered with cream sauce and baked to bubbly perfection. (Yeah, it's as good as it sounds.)

This (vegetarian!) Italian classic is about as comforting as it gets, packed with hearty greens, meaty beans, and plenty of rich olive oil and umami-packed Parm.

It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients (or a lot of money) to make a classic Bolognese recipe. What it does take, though, is patience!

This croquembouche is constructed with cheesy gougères and an herbed cheese filling. It’s the showstopping holiday appetizer you didn’t know you needed.

The key to a soup with fully developed savory flavor starts with the soffritto—a mix of slowly cooked aromatic vegetables.

This traditional Italian braised pork roast may not be one of the most photogenic dishes you’ll ever make, but it sure is one of the tastiest.

This is the hearty, rustic, and deeply warming comfort food you'll be craving on all snowy days.

This Polish hunter’s stew features kielbasa, smoky bacon, melty cabbage, and lots of delicious broth that can be sopped up with bread.

An herb-laced riff on aglio e olio, quick and easy.
