Pasta with Eggplant, Tomatoes & Mozzarella

Pasta with eggplant, tomatoes, and mozzarella is a classic Italian dish that is both simple to make and delicious. I always add a pinch of chili flakes to mine. The eggplant in this vegetarian pasta dish has a meaty texture. Buon appetito!

Pickled Beet, Arugula & Herbed Goat Cheese Sandwich

I know this probably only appeals to .08% of the population, but I loved this sandwich, mainly because pickled beets are my favorite. The combination of the sweet and tangy pickled beets, the peppery arugula, and the creamy goat cheese is delicious. It's a really well-balanced sandwich that is both healthy and satisfying.

Yellow Eye Bean Soup

These Yellow Eye Beans are from Rancho Gordo. They are amazing heirloom bean producers located in Napa, California. I decided to make this rustic Yellow Eye Bean Soup from The New York Times. These beans are absolutely incredible, and very creamy inside. These beans are rich, creamy, and mild and are traditionally used for New England style baked beans. There is nothing better on a cold night than to have rustic bean soup with some crusty bread.

Parmesan Criss-Cross Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze

Parmesan Criss-Cross Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze is a perfect side for your autumn menu. The sweetness of the potatoes really works with the saltiness of the parmesan cheese. I actually forgot to put the balsamic glaze on, so I guess you could say it's optional!

Chile Crisp Fettuccini Alfredo with Spinach

The creamy and subtly spicy Chile Crisp Fettuccini Alfredo with Spinach is outstandingly good. The chili crisp gets sizzled in butter before adding cream and parmesan cheese. Chili crisp is a condiment of oil infused with peppers, onions, and garlic, and is satisfyingly crispy, and crunchy. This recipe will be on repeat.

Crisp Gnocchi with Brussels Spouts and Brown Butter

This Crisp Gnocchi with Brussels Spouts and Brown Butter is incredibly easy to make and also done in a single skillet. You begin by crisping the Brussels sprouts, then you set aside the sprouts to brown the gnocchi. Then add butter, honey, lemon, and a bit of red pepper flake and cook it until the butter browns,
searing the gnocchi until it's crispy and golden on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. It gets topped with freshly grated Parmesan.
