Roasted Chicken and Bow Tie Pasta Salad

The flavor and contrasting textures―crunchy celery,


onion, and walnut, chewy pasta, tender chicken, and
juicy grapes―make an easy salad that can be made
ahead and travels well, either for a dinner on the go
or a workday lunch. Leftover chicken, or deli ham or
turkey can take the
place of the sto re-bought rotisserie bird if you prefer.

Pasta with Asparagus, Pancetta, and Pine Nuts


We love the bright flavor that lemon juice and fresh
asparagus bring to this recipe. Pine nuts are
particularly delicious in this dish, but feel free to
substitute walnuts if you have them on hand.

Reviewer cookfromsocal gave the dish 5 stars: "This


was fantastic, lot of flavor and so easy. Next time will
put in more pine nuts. Couldn't wait to have the
leftovers for lunch the next day. A definite repeat."

Fettuccine Alfredo with Bacon


When you're short on time and the ingredient list is
short, make every ingredient the freshest and best
you can find. A real wood-smoked bacon imparts lots
of flavor to this quick fettuccine alfredo: Applewood is
mild and slightly sweet, while hardwood, such as
hickory, is more assertive.

Laurie18 says, "I found this recipe to be quite the


guilty pleasure. Alfredo usually has a 1000 calories
and this had less than 400 calories and included
bacon!

Tomato-Basil Lasagna with Prosciutto


Instead of full-fat ricotta, which is used in traditional
recipes, we combine low-fat cottage cheese and fat-
free cream cheese for just enough creaminess without
all the heft. This tasty lasagna is a great make-ahead
option. After assembling the lasagna, cover and freeze
for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator; bake as
directed.

"This recipe will definitely be on repeat!" praises


reviewer heidz23. "Sometimes eating something like
lasagna leaves you feeling heavy, but this is a great,
lightened version that is just as flavorful."
Orecchiette with Peas, Shrimp, and Buttermilk-Herb
Dressing
This herby pasta salad is perfect for a picnic or potluck
gathering; you can easily double the recipe to serve a
crowd. Can't find orecchiette? Medium shell-shaped
pasta will also work in its place.

Bow Ties with Tomatoes, Feta, and Balsamic


Dressing
You're reading the recipe correctly: There are green
grapes in this dish. Their juicy, crisp, and bright
sweetness complements the tomatoes and provides a
nice contrast to feta's creamy tang. Besides the pan-
grilled asparagus shown, any green vegetable sautéed
or grilled with a little garlic, salt, and pepper makes a
good side―try spinach, broccoli, or even kale.

Bucatini with Mushrooms


A large assortment of mushrooms, including luxurious
dried porcinis, is the key to the huge earthy flavor of
this dish. It's meatless, but you'd never know it with
all the savory flavor of mushrooms, Parmesan, and
truffle oil. A generous splash of cream gives the sauce
its luscious texture.

Roasted Asparagus and Tomato Penne Salad with


Goat Cheese
Herbes de Provence lends a hit of floral flavor to the
dressing of this penne salad. Serve this dish
immediately or cover and chill for 2 hours for a cold
pasta salad.
Mushroom Bolognese
Food journalist and author Mark Bittman retooled
classic bolognese sauce giving it less meat, more
flavor, and the same luxurious creaminess as the
traditional version.

"This smells incredible as it cooks, with a deep, earthy,


mushroomy fragrance," praises Executive Food Editor
Ann Taylor Pittman. "And the flavor lives up to the
promise of the aroma."

Asparagus and Chicken Carbonara


Pasta carbonara is traditionally made with raw egg
yolks and whipping cream. This lighter version
achieves the same texture with egg substitute and fat-
free evaporated milk. Egg substitutes are excellent to
use in recipes that traditionally call for raw eggs.
Substitutes are pasteurized and have a low risk of
containing bacteria.

Serve this dish immediately; if it stands, the sauce can


become too thick.

Penne with Sausage, Eggplant, and Feta


Meaty breakfast sausage, earthy eggplant, and zesty
feta complement each other in this hearty pasta dish.

"This was so amazingly quick, easy, and delicious. My


husband does not like eggplant so he gave it the evil
eye then proceeded to eat two huge servings!" said
reviewer fittaraw.

Farfalle with Tomatoes, Onions, and Spinach


Give your family a taste of the Mediterranean with
this simple meatless pasta dinner.

"Tasted great as leftovers," said reviewer


MeeshMech79. "The second night I tossed in some
rotisserie chicken but it's certainly filling as a meatless
meal as well."
Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Shrimp Fra Diavolo recipes can often be very hot, but
you can adjust the spice to your preference by adding
more or less red pepper. To save money, be sure to
use inexpensive medium-size shrimp in this garlicky,
spicy classic.

Sausage, Tomato, and Arugula Fettuccine


This 20-minute recipe has become a favorite among
staff and readers alike for its ease to prepare and use
of bold ingredients like peppery arugula and savory
sausage. A sprinkling of shaved pecorino Romano
cheese gives a salty bite .

Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Pasta


Smoky bacon compliments the richness of butternut
squash in this casserole to create a dish that can be
enjoyed right away or prepared ahead for a party or
weeknight meals. BeckiSue says, “This was just
perfect!! The roasted butternut squash, rosemary,
bacon, and cheese complimented each other so well...
Will be making again and again!!!”

Quick-Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti


Sweet, sun-ripened tomatoes collapse into a
beautifully rustic sauce. For the prettiest dish, use
multicolored tomatoes from the farmers' market or, if
you're lucky, your backyard.
Peppery Monterey Jack Pasta Salad
This 20-minute pasta salad is great as either an entrée
or side and is packed with tons of flavor. Readers rave
about the dish's versatility; you can customize it easily
by using whatever veggies you have on hand. For the
pasta, we use acini di pepe [ah-CHEE-nee dee-PAY-
pay]: tiny pasta rounds resembling peppercorns. Feel
free to use ditalini (very short tube-shaped macaroni)
or any other small pasta shape if you can't find acini di
pepe in your supermarket.

Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Hazelnuts


"Incredible flavor & texture. Simply delicious!" —
PROMOGAL
Fresh pasta pairs well with a simple, barely-there
sauce that will gently coat each noodle, highlighting
the fresh pasta's uniquely soft, smooth texture
without overwhelming it or stealing its shine. This dish
makes for a satisfying meatless meal that is sure to
please your taste buds.

Greek Pasta with Meatballs


This riff on spaghetti and meatballs uses rice-shaped
pasta, ground lamb, and tangy feta cheese—a fitting
complement to the spiced lamb. To make ahead,
brown the meatballs, freeze on a tray, and store in a
zip-top bag for up to one month.

Cavatappi with Bacon and Summer Vegetables


A light, flavorful pasta toss, accented with crumbled
bacon, is a quick and easy dinner solution for any
night of the week. Use whatever veggies you have on
hand to add to the colorful dish. Serve with a mixed
greens salad.
