Recipes
Pumpkin pasta with sausage and crisp sage
Tinned pumpkin, Gruyère and a sheet pan to crisp the lot.
Sausage lasagna spread thin for the crust
Lasagna with no layers, baked flat on a sheet pan, and an insult to nonnas everywhere.
Vodka rigatoni, baked till the tops crackle
Vodka sauce given a sheet pan, a jar of Calabrian chilis and a honey drizzle it did nothing to deserve.
Pierogi lasagna in a single skillet
Pierogies do the noodles' job and the broiler does the oven's, in forty minutes flat.
Chicken parm sliders, twelve at once
The whole slab of rolls stays joined until the end. You bake it as one object and cut it into twelve at the table.
Chicken parm, pounded until it is honest
Quarter-inch thick, no more. A breast at its natural depth cannot cook through before the crust burns, and everyone has eaten the result.
Pizza dough, baked empty and filled after
The pockets go into the oven with nothing in them. Prosciutto has no business near that kind of heat.
Crispy chicken cutlets in a tomato cream
The sauce is made in the frying pan after the oil comes out, not before.
Pesto gnocchi, foil on then off
The gnocchi never see a pot of water. They steam under foil in the pesto instead.
Sausage and gnocchi baked under mozzarella
Calabrian chile and capers doing the heavy lifting while the oven does the work.
A lasagna with a short fuse
The golden lasagna's wilder sister, all smoky sausage and charred poblano with a chipotle streak, cooled by a lime drizzle.
Golden lasagna
A carrot lasagna so light you could eat the lot and still fancy pudding.
Sheet-pan quesadillas, six at once
The whole batch crisped in the oven while you stand around doing nothing.
Fire chicken under a mozzarella duvet
Buldak means fire chicken. The cheese is there to talk it down.
Crispy gnocchi with burst tomatoes
Skip the pot. Fry the gnocchi like they owe you money.
