This spaghetti with brussels sprouts and cannellini beans is an homage to an Italian American classic, and an easy stick-to-your-ribs pasta perfect for a weeknight. Beans are one of my all-time favorite ingredients to cook with. I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but as someone who doesn’t eat all that much meat, I…
This coconut carrot ginger soup is one of our fall/winter favorites as it contains some cold-weather staple flavors, including a curried pumpkin seed and jumbo focaccia crouton topping. I love soup. Summer or winter, gazpacho or hearty stew, to me there’s nothing better than a bowl of soup. And while I do love all those…
Mellow out the heat and bump up the sweetness of habanero peppers by using them in a habanero avocado crema, and play up that sweetness by pairing it with honey roasted tomatoes and peppers. While much of my garden did well this year, I did have one stand out crop that produced way more than…

A while back I posted this recipe for ciambotta, which was a staple dish of my childhood. For those who don’t know, ciambotta (also written giambotta or jambot) is essentially a thick Italian stew made…
We paired these easy to make pumpkin cavatelli with a sage brown butter sauce and spicy Italian sausage for the absolute perfect fall pasta. In a post I made a few weeks ago for these pumpkin pancakes, I mentioned that I was disappointed to realize I only had one other pumpkin recipe on my blog…
