This Shrimp with Lemon Garlic Sauce is the easiest dish you will ever make, but it is so flavorful that no one will ever know. I’m not even joking when I say it takes five minutes to cook. I was inspired by the Gambas Al Ajillo that I used to get at a local Cuban restaurant, though this dish is typically a Spanish one. Traditionally, the dish includes sherry, but I figured not everyone has sherry laying around. I’m sure it would also be great with a splash of white wine! So if you have it, definitely try it. It’s so incredibly delicious with all that beautiful buttery sauce. I like to serve it with some sliced toasted sourdough for dipping. We literally stood over the pan and wiped it clean with bread. That’s how tasty this dish is.

Flatbread technically is unleavened dough with no yeast, but after a recent try to make pizza dough without yeast in a pinch, I was met with what was the worst cracker ever. It’s just not very good. Everyone wants a chewy, pillowy crust. So rather than make actual flatbread, we are cheating a bit and using a simple pizza dough instead. The best part of this recipe is sliced lemon on the pizza. I cut them into little tiny matchsticks, peel and all. If you’ve never used lemon on pizza, you are missing out! It adds a lovely brightness to this briny pizza. How great would preserved lemons be if you have them?

A year ago, I wouldn’t have called myself a big fan of pasta. It wasn’t something in our regular dinner rotation, and I’ve never been keen on tomatoey red sauce. Visiting Italy changed that for me. There were so many varieties of pasta that were so simplified, and subtly saucy and extra al dente. This is my favorite kind of pasta. I wanted to create a pasta with tons of supporting ingredients (broccoli, sausage, lemon) and a silky barely-there sauce that coats the almost chewy pasta, and you wonder how pasta could ever taste so good. This rigatoni with broccoli, lemon, and sausage is just that. Among other things, it includes crushed fennel seed, thinly sliced garlic, and just a splash of cream to make the sauce extra silky.

This is where my blog peaks, and no other recipe will live in infamy like this miso butter and mushroom orecchiette. Which I have misspelled and spelled again fifteen times since writing this post. ORECCHIETTE. Why so many letters? I’m here to tell you that this pasta is an umami bomb. The savory miso butter…
Sam once told me he didn’t like carrots, which I took as a challenge to craft the most delicious carrot recipe that even the most dedicated carrot-hater couldn’t hate. I used to hate a lot of vegetables until I found out that everything is good roasted. Everything. Even a brussels sprout. I made this amazing…
Hi Friends! Every year I fall in love with autumn all over again, and I’m reminded why. I took a step outside and watched the rain fall on a big oak tree in our backyard while all the yellowed leaves fell to the ground. It smelled like dirt and leaves and those scented crayons that…
