Curried Peanut and Tomato SoupI adore this soup - so easy to make, delicious and satisfying. I've also made it with chunks of sweet potato added for a stand-alone meal soup.

Vegetarian Asian NoodlesYou can add tofu, chicken, pork or shrimp to this dish, as well as any of your favorite veggies. You can substitute peanut butter or almond butter for the tahini, and if you want a spicier dish, you can add more chili-garlic sauce. For a more authentic dish, you can use Chinese egg noodles, udon, soba or dried or fresh ramen noodles. |

Arrabbiata SauceThis easy, versatile sauce is revved up with a jolt of crushed red pepper for extra flavor. Perfect over penne pasta, with shrimp, scallops or Italian sausage, it also makes a great vegetarian main course without the seafood. This sauce freezes and reheats very well. I make and freeze extra batches to have on hand for quick meals. |
