Ricotta-Stuffed Shells with Burrata, Mushrooms, and Herbs

It’s a great do-ahead (it can be assembled and refrigerated a day ahead)..

Pot of Pasta with Broccoli Rabe and Chorizo Bread Crumbs

The perfect thing to make when you have no idea what to make, this pasta involves little to no technique

Tiny Creamy Pasta with Black Pepper and Pecorino

The egg yolks are optional, but they add that much more creaminess.

Pasta e Ceci Salad

Olives and parsley are great here, but in the spirit of this sort of fridge-clean-out, do-less-with-more, accidentally fabulous recipe, I kept them optional.

Baked Pasta with Artichokes, Greens, and Too Much Cheese

Oh, and yes: This is spinach artichoke dip in pasta form. You’re welcome.

Pasta with Crispy Squid, Lemon, and Chile

The liquid will evaporate and the squid will brown, and there will be dark, crispy bits on the bottom of the skillet.

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.

Clam Pasta with Chorizo and Walnuts

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.

A Very Easy Macaroni and Cheese

You can make this more interesting any number of ways, but I also think it’s fine to let this be what it is: a really, extremely, very simple and easy way to make a classic macaroni and cheese that tastes very close to the box, as fast as possible.

Osso Buco Ragu

More than a tomato sauce with meat, this is a ragu that’s truly about the meat–braised low and slow, with white wine, onion, garlic and tomato paste. This is something you don’t have to pay attention to, good for days when you feel like doing something, but don’t feel like doing that much.

Tomato Pasta with Eggplant and Sausage (on the side)

Decidedly a tomato pasta with eggplant and not an eggplant pasta

Pasta with Sausage, Browned Butter and Broccoli Rabe

This is a simple recipe, but an important one. Take the measurements and ingredients with a grain of salt, knowing that at the end of the process you should end up with a skillet of saucy, porky pasta laced with as many greens as it can handle.
