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…

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…

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…
