]]> There’s a reason that Italian food is widely considered to be the best in the world, and that reason is simplicity. Italians value simple recipes well-executed with high-quality ingredients, and one of the best examples of this is cacio e pepe. A Roman dish that literally translates to ‘cheese and pepper,’ cacio e pepe is typically made with tonnarelli or spaghetti. That said, we thought it would be fun to mix things up and create our own cacio e pepe with another Italian staple: polenta. Read on for the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup polenta
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking as you go to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. In a separate pan, melt butter over low heat. Add black pepper and toast it for a minute to enhance its flavor.
  4. Once the polenta is thick and creamy, gradually fold the grated Pecorino Romano cheese, stirring until smooth. 
  5. Pour the peppered butter mixture into the polenta and continue to stir until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to meld and polenta to set.
  7. Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of Pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper for garnish. Enjoy!

]]> When it comes to carbohydrates, pasta will always have a special place in our hearts. We’d never say no to a bowl of spaghetti, and you can pry macaroni and cheese from our cold, dead hands. That said, sometimes we like to mix up our carby dinner routine, and one of our favorite ways to do so is with a rich, creamy risotto—especially one with plenty of mushrooms and cheese. Read on to learn for our go-to recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth, kept warm
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Turn the heat down to low to keep it warm, not boiling, throughout the cooking process.
  2. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat with the oil, onions, and garlic. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent around the edges, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan and stir to remove any brown bits from the bottom. Continue to stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  6. Add the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. When the liquid is mostly absorbed, add the next ladle of broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, usually about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Fold in the sautéed mushrooms during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through.
  8. Once the risotto is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the butter and grated cheese, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and more Parmesan if desired. Enjoy immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

]]> As self-proclaimed pasta fanatics, we’re firm believers that the best way to enjoy noodles is through easy-to-prepare recipes made with simple ingredients. There’s a time and a place for slow-simmered sauces (try saying that five times fast), but for day-to-day meals, we prefer to stick with options that are a bit more straightforward. Cue aglio e olio, a traditional Neapolitan dish made with spaghetti, olive oil, and plenty of fresh garlic. Here’s our go-to recipe. 

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Use a ladle to reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and transfer it to the skillet with the garlic and oil.
  4. Toss the pasta in the garlic-infused oil, ensuring each strand is well coated.
  5. Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. If you want more heat, you can also add extra red pepper flakes.
  6. Gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet, a few tablespoons at a time, until you achieve a silky and slightly saucy consistency.
  7. Continue tossing the pasta in the skillet for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and toss in chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
  9. Plate immediately, and enjoy as is or with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  10. Enjoy!

]]> If there’s one food in the world that transcends borders and is universally beloved for its comfort and convenience, it’s pizza. Versatile, flavorful, and easy to prepare, Americans alone are estimated to consume approximately 3 billion pizzas every year. When dinner time rolls around, pizza is a surefire way to satisfy everyone at the table, but as much as we love a fresh, hot pie, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up with some pizza-inspired recipes instead. Here are a few of our favorites.

Pizza Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is a fun and easy snack traditionally made with cinnamon sugar, but this recipe by The Girl Who Ate Everything gives it a savory spin with some garlic butter, cheese, and plenty of pepperoni. We love to put it out as a shareable snack at parties and on game days—with marinara sauce for dipping, of course.

Cheesy Vegan Pizza Beans

Vegans like pizza, too! Minimalist Baker knocks it out of the park with this nutritious and delicious pizza-inspired entrée. Made with cannellini beans and a homemade cashew cheese sauce, it’s filling, flavorful, and oh-so comforting. Enjoy it on its own, or as a dip with some toasted garlic bread.

Pizza Pasta Bake

Half the reason we like to order pizza in the first place is that it’s convenient, but when we’re feeling lazy and don’t want to spend extra money on takeout, this pasta recipe by Salt & Lavender is a great alternative. With just 4 simple ingredients, it takes only 10 minutes to whip up and is really to serve in less than an hour—like delivery, but better.

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese 

Perfect for game day or any big family function, this recipe by Baker by Nature is creamy, cheesy, and has just the right amount of kick. Made with four kinds of cheese, some rotisserie chicken, and a healthy dose of hot sauce, it’s got all the comfort of classic mac and cheese along with all the flavor of buffalo chicken wings—all together in one indulgent dish.

Breakfast Pizza

Breakfast for dinner takes on a whole new meaning in this two-for-one recipe by Budget Bytes. Prepare your own dough according to your preferences, spread it with some sauce and a sprinkle of cheese, then top it with some eggs and bacon for good measure. It’s also a great way to spruce up leftover pizza—just follow the directions for the toppings as written and heat in the oven for 12-15 minutes.

French Onion Smashed Potatoes

Oh, potatoes, is there anything you can’t do? Versatile, affordable, and oh so comforting, potatoes are an ideal blank canvas for rich caramelized onions in this decadent recipe by How Sweet Eats. Like traditional French Onion soup, a healthy layer of melted gruyere rounds things out with a nice salty bite.

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth, kept warm
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Turn the heat down to low to keep it warm, not boiling, throughout the cooking process.
  2. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat with the oil, onions, and garlic. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent around the edges, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan and stir to remove any brown bits from the bottom. Continue to stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  6. Add the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. When the liquid is mostly absorbed, add the next ladle of broth. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, usually about 18-20 minutes.
  7. Fold in the sautéed mushrooms during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through.
  8. Once the risotto is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the butter and grated cheese, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and more Parmesan if desired. Enjoy immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

]]> As self-proclaimed pasta fanatics, we’re firm believers that the best way to enjoy noodles is through easy-to-prepare recipes made with simple ingredients. There’s a time and a place for slow-simmered sauces (try saying that five times fast), but for day-to-day meals, we prefer to stick with options that are a bit more straightforward. Cue aglio e olio, a traditional Neapolitan dish made with spaghetti, olive oil, and plenty of fresh garlic. Here’s our go-to recipe. 

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Use a ladle to reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and transfer it to the skillet with the garlic and oil.
  4. Toss the pasta in the garlic-infused oil, ensuring each strand is well coated.
  5. Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. If you want more heat, you can also add extra red pepper flakes.
  6. Gradually add the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet, a few tablespoons at a time, until you achieve a silky and slightly saucy consistency.
  7. Continue tossing the pasta in the skillet for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and toss in chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
  9. Plate immediately, and enjoy as is or with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  10. Enjoy!

]]> If there’s one food in the world that transcends borders and is universally beloved for its comfort and convenience, it’s pizza. Versatile, flavorful, and easy to prepare, Americans alone are estimated to consume approximately 3 billion pizzas every year. When dinner time rolls around, pizza is a surefire way to satisfy everyone at the table, but as much as we love a fresh, hot pie, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up with some pizza-inspired recipes instead. Here are a few of our favorites.

Pizza Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is a fun and easy snack traditionally made with cinnamon sugar, but this recipe by The Girl Who Ate Everything gives it a savory spin with some garlic butter, cheese, and plenty of pepperoni. We love to put it out as a shareable snack at parties and on game days—with marinara sauce for dipping, of course.

Cheesy Vegan Pizza Beans

Vegans like pizza, too! Minimalist Baker knocks it out of the park with this nutritious and delicious pizza-inspired entrée. Made with cannellini beans and a homemade cashew cheese sauce, it’s filling, flavorful, and oh-so comforting. Enjoy it on its own, or as a dip with some toasted garlic bread.

Pizza Pasta Bake

Half the reason we like to order pizza in the first place is that it’s convenient, but when we’re feeling lazy and don’t want to spend extra money on takeout, this pasta recipe by Salt & Lavender is a great alternative. With just 4 simple ingredients, it takes only 10 minutes to whip up and is really to serve in less than an hour—like delivery, but better.

While you may never be able to totally please everyone, by opting for recipes that combine elements from several types of cuisine, you might just come pretty close.

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese 

Perfect for game day or any big family function, this recipe by Baker by Nature is creamy, cheesy, and has just the right amount of kick. Made with four kinds of cheese, some rotisserie chicken, and a healthy dose of hot sauce, it’s got all the comfort of classic mac and cheese along with all the flavor of buffalo chicken wings—all together in one indulgent dish.

Breakfast Pizza

Breakfast for dinner takes on a whole new meaning in this two-for-one recipe by Budget Bytes. Prepare your own dough according to your preferences, spread it with some sauce and a sprinkle of cheese, then top it with some eggs and bacon for good measure. It’s also a great way to spruce up leftover pizza—just follow the directions for the toppings as written and heat in the oven for 12-15 minutes.

French Onion Smashed Potatoes

Oh, potatoes, is there anything you can’t do? Versatile, affordable, and oh so comforting, potatoes are an ideal blank canvas for rich caramelized onions in this decadent recipe by How Sweet Eats. Like traditional French Onion soup, a healthy layer of melted gruyere rounds things out with a nice salty bite.
