Lemon & Garlic Green BeansIt is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste… |

Brussel Sprouts Sauteed in Garlic & Olive OilThis is a simple, tasty side dish to add to your menu. I've adapted it from Marcella Hazan's recipes for other vegetables. It tastes GREAT with Brussel Sprouts. Broccoli is good too. |

Simple Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and TomatoesThis is one of those simple recipes that are almost embarrassing to put on this website. But this was really tasty and healthy, and our kids devoured it. I have everything being prepared in parallel, so the whole dish takes less than 25 minutes start to finish. If you're tight on time, this is a winner! |

Shaved Brussels Sprout and Farro SaladThis recipe is adapted from one by Susan Spungen. I thought it was phenomenal. If you can't find Farro, you coud substitute brown rice or pearl barley, but get Farro if you can. It's wonderful. You might consider serving this as a side for Thanksgiving. It would make a great addition. |

This Is It Spaghetti SauceEverybody who cooks has a great spaghetti sauce. This is mine, after years of perfection. It's lowfat, It's vegetarian, It's deep, rich, and amazingly tasty. This is it. Oh: choose your pasta well! Artichoke, whole wheat and Italian semolina go best...spinach? Not so much. |

Chicken Pesto OrecchietteThe number one mistake Americans make when using pesto is using too much. We see the little jar on the shelf and think “It’s so small! I should probably use the whole thing…” But please resist the urge! Your food will thank you for it. Follow this recipe for Chicken Pesto Orecchiette and you’ll see what I mean. The Pesto Genovese… |

Tomato Marinara with Garlic and BasilThis is a light and tasty sauce that the Roman's called "alla carrettiera". It's named for the drivers who came to town with fresh produce and wine from the surrounding countryside, and their sauces were improvised from the abundant ingredients available to them. We've got our own little garden, and all of the ingredients for this… |

Fresh Kale w/ garlicThis is so simple and taste wonderful. When you blanch it first it seems to have a sweeter flavor to it. It's even good cold. You can do this dish with any Fresh Greens. Spinach is amazing this way...just add a pinch of nutmeg to it. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is a good touch Great as a side dish to Quiche |

Cheese Tortellini with Purple Sage and Browned ButterMy family loves this dish. It's a classic and uses an herb that grows year after year in my yard--purple sage. Any culinary sage will do--the ones with the large velvety leaves. Don't use Russian sage or Pineapple Sage. Stick with the basic sages. We like short pasta with this, and often use Orecchiete or Bow Tie pasta. You've got to… |

Sauteed Zucchini in Homemade Tomato SauceI love homemade tomato sauce, it's so much better than jarred sauce. As a summer side dish I add sauteed zucchini, it's so yummy. I recently served it as a side with baked cod and we wound up putting it right over the fish it was terrific! |

Roman-Style SpinachThis is a great new way I've learned to cook spinach. I wouldn't have thought of adding sweetness to spinach, but I really like the way the currants and pine nuts contrast with the slight bitterness of fresh spinach. This is a new winner that I'll be cooking frequently in the future! |
