Pan Fried Gnocchi (Caprese Style)

The only thing that beats soft, pillowy gnocchi is gnocchi that’s soft and pillowy on the sides, while golden brown and crisp on the outside. With no pot of boiling water required, just a few minutes in a hot skillet gets these potato dumplings perfectly cooked and ready to toss with juicy cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese, basil, and a flavor-packed basil vinaigrette. It’s the same flavor as our caprese gnocchi, but with a simpler cooking…

Homemade Spaghetti-o’s

If you need to get dinner on the table fast and want everyone to be licking their bowls clean, then homemade spaghetti-o’s are the answer. It’s a guaranteed kid-pleaser, but we promise you’ll also love this slightly grown-up version of your childhood favorite. As a one-pot meal, it’s almost as easy as popping open a can, but using real ingredients like tomato sauce, garlic, parmesan cheese, and dried anellini pasta (for classic O’s!) gives it…

Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls (Chả Giò)

If you’ve ever eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant, you may have shared a plate of Chả Giò. It’s one of the cuisine’s most famous appetizers. There is something so irresistible about crunching your way through a delicately crispy fried pastry wrapper into a warm, earthy, juicy filling. One roll always leaves us wanting more! Like garlic noodles, potstickers, and fresh spring rolls, we had to recreate our favorite Chả Giò. The impossibly thin pastry wrappers…

Tomato Butter Pasta (with Shrimp)

We love a good tomato sauce. Fresh tomato sauce, a bright and peppery Romesco sauce, and ultra-creamy vodka sauce all have a special place at the table. But when we want something that’s deeply rich and decadent, and seriously simple to whip together, we reach for the tomato butter pasta. While many recipes for tomato butter pasta use a pan sauce, we roast cherry tomatoes, garlic, and seasonings until everything is blistered and bursting with flavor. All…

Liege Waffles

Be warned – once you try these Liege waffles, standard waffles will officially be in your past. The caramelized shell, soft and chewy inside, and pockets of crystallized, crunchy sugars make Liege waffles a one-of-a-kind breakfast. Unlike traditional waffle batter, Liege waffles are made with a yeasted dough, giving them a dense, completely irresistible, bread-like chew. Instead of granulated sugar, they use Swedish pearl sugar, which creates crunchy, candy-like pockets in every bite. While we…

Beer Battered Onion Rings

Spanish Churros

During a trip to Spain, I fell in love with the light and crispy texture and barely sweet flavor of Spanish Churros (covered in decadent chocolate sauce, of course!). When I couldn’t find the same texture and flavor anywhere I looked in the States, I recreated the recipe myself. The dough is incredibly simple, made with just flour, baking powder, salt, and boiling water, and once pushed through the churro mold, it fries into beautifully…

Tallarines Verde (Peruvian Green Spaghetti)

If you’re looking for a flavorful alternative to pesto pasta, Tallarines Verde is exactly what you need. This dish literally translates to “green noodles” and gives traditional pesto pasta a Peruvian spin, turning simple ingredients like basil, spinach, walnuts, queso fresco, and evaporated milk into a restaurant-quality, refreshingly light sauce. While the emerald green hue is show-stopping all on its own, you’ll love the balance of rich creaminess and fresh herbs in every bite. It’s…
