Pancetta and Leek Risotto
I'm a risotto enthusiast with a collection of recipes, but this Pancetta and Leek Risotto caught my eye due to its perfect portion size for two. Leeks are truly magical; their delicate sweetness caramelizes beautifully and pairs exceptionally well with the salty crunch of pancetta. It's a match made in culinary heaven.

Sausage Gravy
Sausage Gravy is a Southern dish, often eaten as a breakfast or brunch staple. It's a rich, savory sauce made from sausage, flour, and milk, typically served over biscuits. The process involves browning the sausage, creating a roux with the flour and sausage drippings, and then gradually whisking in milk and chicken stock until the gravy thickens.

Eggplant Bolognese
Eggplant Bolognese is a fantastic option for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to reduce their meat consumption. Tomatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic form the aromatic base, adding depth and sweetness. The eggplant takes center stage, offering a surprisingly meaty texture that will leave you wondering why you ever needed beef. It's a perfect choice for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to lighten up their dinner.

Gnocchi with Corn & Miso
I love using miso paste and try to always have it in my fridge. Miso is a fermented soybean paste, and is used in many Japanese dishes. It adds depth, complexity, and umami. Its versatility extends far beyond its traditional use in miso soup. This Gnocchi with Corn & Miso is a brilliant combination. The soft, pillowy potato dumplings provide a perfect base for the sauce. The sweet and juicy corn adds a fresh, summery element and the miso brings umami depth and a savory richness.

Mexican Black Beans
These flavor-packed Mexican Black Beans got rave reviews from my family. Since I didn't have time to soak dried beans overnight, I used canned beans, which worked perfectly. I used a jalapeño pepper, if you want it spicier use a serrano. Serrano peppers are generally smaller and skinnier than jalapeños. Despite their small size, they can be up to 10 times hotter than a jalapeño, so beware.

Chicken & Asparagus Skillet Pasta with Pesto
Chicken & Asparagus Skillet Pasta with Pesto is a delicious and easy weeknight meal that combines the savory flavors of chicken and asparagus with the bright, herbaceous notes of pesto. There are also sun-dried tomatoes, which add a burst of concentrated flavor. What I like about this recipe is that you throw the asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in with the pasta for the last 3 minutes of cooking. You can eat this dish hot or cold.

Spaghetti with Prosciutto, Parmesan and Peas
My husband Eric and I have been making Spaghetti Carbonara for years. It's what we have when the is 'nothing to eat'! I saw this recipe for Spaghetti with Prosciutto, Parmesan and Peas from Milk Street Magazine and knew we had to make it. It supposedly was the signature pasta of Pope Pius XII. It's quite different from our go-to standard Carbonara recipe. I have to say, it's delicious, though more subtle than the saltier bacon-infused version. I think the late Queen Elizabeth would have liked it, due to the fact that garlic isn't even mentioned.

Gnocchi with Sauerkraut and Ham
I made this Gnocchi with Sauerkraut and Ham while staying with my mom. She loves sauerkraut, so I concocted this combination of gnocchi and ham and she loved it. You can boil, sauté or, air-fry the gnocchi. I choose to air-fry mine. Either way, it's a very simple and delicious dish.
