Pasta and Pizza

Mushroom “Bolognese”

Pasta Bolognese is, by definition, a meaty dish—hence, the quotation marks in this recipe’s name. In this case, mushrooms are treated to a traditional technique, for a plant-forward version of “Bolognese” with plenty of umami heft, but also light and bright enough for spring.

Radish and Feta Flatbread

This is based on a bar snack Alison spotted while, well, sitting at the counter at a local wine bar watching the bartender turn out quick pizza-like snacks with lavash (a type of Armenian flatbread), a variety of toppings and a toaster oven.

Easy Pasta Alla Norma

We like to think of this as the warm-weather version of our popular Spring Vegetable Roast or Winter Ratatouille. Use any combo of veggies you like—you’ll need a total of about 2 pounds. These are delicious on their own or drizzled with Rustic Summer Herb Pesto. (A grill basket is one of our favorite summertime pieces of equipment.)

Fregola Salad with Beans and Arugula

Fregola Salad with White Beans and Arugula

Fregola is an Italian rolled pasta similar to Israeli couscous, and it’s wonderfully toothsome in this salad. If you can’t find fregola (or wanted to go gluten free), millet would be a great substitute. Top with a few chunks of good quality tuna packed in olive oil and you’ve got a nice, hearty, nourishing meal.

Brothy Lentil, Sausage and Farfalle Soup

Take that name to mean anything you please … whether you make this soup out of chicken stock, turkey stock or vegetable stock, you can bet it’ll be scrumptious. What elevates this above a standard chicken (turkey … veggie) noodle soup are the copious amounts of carrots and celery, the beefy lentils, and the fun little topping of sauteed root veggies and sausage. PS – you can make this vegetarian and still have a super hearty soup.
