Clam Pasta with Chorizo and Walnuts

Name: Tomato Pasta with Eggplant and Sausage (on the side)
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more; 1 pound sausage of your choosing; 1 pound eggplant, fennel or zucchini, chopped; 1 red or yellow onion, sliced (not too thin); Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper; 1 24-ounce jar tomato sauce, puree, or can of crushed tomatoes; Fresh or dried oregano, optional; Crushed red pepper flakes, optional; 2 cloves garlic, very, very well crushed or finely chopped; 1 pound dried pasta such as casarecce or rigatoni; Basil, if you have it; Pecorino or Parmesan cheese, for grating

Even at the most suspect red-sauce Italian restaurant, I’ll always order the linguine alle vongole, because like pizza, even at its worst, linguine with clams is still pretty great.

Whole-Wheat Pasta with Brown-Buttered Mushrooms, Buckwheat, and Egg Yolk

Do you know how many mushroom varieties there are? About four million. Even if that’s not true (it’s not), I feel like I’m always discovering a new type that makes me glad it’s socially acceptable to eat fungus.

There’s no kneading involved (just mixing), and the only tools you need are a bowl, a spoon, and your hands.
