Extra-Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

Traditionalists will tell you that you only need freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a knob of butter, and fettuccine to make this classic pasta recipe. But if you want a foolproof and lusciously smooth and silky Alfredo sauce, you might want a little heavy cream. Then customize away! For chicken Alfredo, add slices of feta-brined grilled chicken. For shrimp Alfredo, toss in a pound of peeled, deveined shrimp. Or blanch some broccoli or asparagus in the salted water before dropping your pasta.

Cheesy Brats With Celery-Pickle Relish

While we love a classic all-beef-with-just-mustard situation, sometimes the occasion calls for a bun stuffed with a bit more flair. That’s where these gussied-up sausages come in. They are butterflied (i.e., cut down the length and split open like a book) to create two flat sides for even cooking and maximized char. One side gets topped with cheese and the other side forms a perfect crevice for stuffing with a bright and crunchy celery relish.

Yogurt Soup With Orzo and Chickpeas

The delicate flavor and vibrant color of this yogurt soup is a truly unique addition to your soup season menu. The recipe, which comes from cookbook author Claudia Roden, is as hearty as it is creamy with chickpeas and orzo pasta swimming in a savory yogurt seasoned with chicken stock, dried mint, and saffron. A little heat and tang from a topping of Aleppo pepper and sumac makes the luxuriant and comfortable experience complete.

Like most cheese, all burrata had to do was exist for TikTok influencer and cookbook author Justine Doiron to love it. On this melty toast, the burrata comes in at the end, but it’s most definitely the star. Thin strands of broccolini get all crispy in the oven, balsamic caramelizes on the edges, and a swipe of roasted red pepper paste sets up the toast for everything to pile on top.

Pork Chops With Apples

Pork Chops With Green Chiles and Apples

In this easy-but-impressive recipe, the combination of green chiles and apples takes center stage as a textural topping for meaty pork chops. We like to use thick-cut, bone-in chops here; each serves two people, so you can cook enough for four in one pan without having to work in batches. You’ll make the topping in the porky fond left behind, applying sweet-and-tangy agrodolce flavors to canned diced green chiles and large pieces of apples. It's the perfect, impressive 30-minute dinner.
