This pasta with kale pesto and pancetta is so easy, but packs a flavor punch. This is basically not a recipe, but I’ll give it to you anyways.

I love a skewer situation, and I don’t believe that you need to own a grill in order to enjoy them. I live in Manhattan - where the average person doesn’t own a grill let alone have outdoor space in order to grill. Grill pans work, per se, but you also have to take the risk of setting off your fire alarm. This recipe is the easiest way to enjoy skewers at home.

When you think about orecchiette, you probably think about it served with sausage and broccoli, but this ear-shaped pasta shape is not a one-trick pony. This is a solid weeknight pasta dish for when you’re craving some greens and cheese.

This salad is my take on my absolute favorite salad on the menu at Fortina, their arugula salad. It’s lemony, laced with crushed candies pistachios, and coated in a shower of freshly grated parmesan.

Golden beet latkes are not traditional, but hopefully I can change your mind. Shredded yellow beets and shallots are flavored with plenty of cumin and then fried until golden brown. Served with a dill sour cream and crushed (and roasted!) hazelnuts, these are far from traditional but still as delightful.

This recipe is a bit like what you’d get if you transformed a greek salad into a main course. The turkey meatballs are baked in the oven so they become really crispy, and cutting into them reveals that they’re stuffed full of crumbled feta cheese, red onion and fresh spinach. Because I’m extra, I also made a totally optional whipped feta to serve with these meatballs.

These roasted radicchio wedges are my take on a classic wedge salad, but with radicchio instead of iceberg lettuce, of course! The best part of this salad is the mixture of textures: You get the crispy from the radicchio, creamy from the dressing, and extra crunch from the hazelnuts.

This is a fancy pants version of risotto with lots of caramelized onions, fresh thyme and cheese, of course. Fair warning: risotto takes some time to make. So buckle up and make this your Sunday evening dinner project.

I’m all about a one-pan wonder dinner, and this coconut curry chicken recipe nails it. It’s creamy, packed with vegetables, with a slight hint of spice. It’s exactly what I’m craving for the cold nights that are fast approaching.

The perfect summer salad recipe, cooling cucumber and crunchy raw corn. Tossed in a simple vinaigrette this is an easy go-to for hot summer days.

Almond roasted chicken salad is an easy twist on a typical chicken salad recipe with crunchy almonds and bright pomegranate seeds.

French onion soup is such a classic. It’s intensely savory and comforting, and that’s how I’d describe the perfect dip too. I love french onion soup, so why not made a dip out of it?

Everyone loves a dip situation. So here’s one with a twist - a sesame spinach twist to be exact. It’s a creamy white bean dip topped with sesame spinach and a glorious drizzle of olive oil.

Baked brie is one of the best party tricks in the book, and there’s a reason. It’s easy, it’s cheesy, and it always looks like you tried even though it’s effortless. I’m sure I don’t need to sell this recipe to you, but just in case here’s a few reasons why I love it.
