Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• milk
• semolina flour
• parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• egg yolk
• butter
• butter
• cayenne pepper
• parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with plastic wrap.
2. 2 Combine milk and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to almost a simmer. As soon as bubbles start to break the surface, gradually whisk in semolina until mixture thickens, about 20 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until very thick, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. 3 Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, and cold butter; stir quickly to prevent yolks from cooking.
4. 4 Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a round, shallow baking dish.
6. 6 Cut out circles of semolina dough with a 2 3/4-inch diameter cookie cutter. Use damp hands to gather and flatten any dough scraps. Press scraps between plastic wrap and cut as many more circles as possible.
7. 7 Arrange gnocchi in a circular, overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over top and spread evenly with a brush. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and cover with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

• olive oil
• rigatoni pasta
• white wine
• tomato sauce
• black pepper
• pecorino romano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Cut guanciale into 1-inch by 1/8-inch strips.
2. 2 Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add guanciale and cook until well browned and fully rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl. Leave all fat in the pan.
3. 3 Start pasta: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until not quite done, about 10 minutes. You want it undercooked by at least 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
4. 4 At the same time, add wine to the guanciale fat in the saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce and pepper; bring to a simmer.
5. 5 Transfer the almost fully-cooked pasta into the sauce using a slotted spoon; it's okay if some water gets in the sauce. Add guanciale and stir to combine. Season with salt. Cook and stir until pasta absorbs the sauce and finishes cooking, and the sauce thickens up, about 3 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of the pasta water.
6. 6 Turn off the heat and add some of the Pecorino cheese. Stir until melted, then repeat until all cheese has been added.
7. 7 Ladle into 2 bowls and serve.

Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• broccoli
• manicotti shell
• garlic
• ricotta cheese
• provolone cheese
• parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• egg
• cayenne pepper
• black pepper
• nutmeg
• marinara sauce
• water
• turkey sausage
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1 Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil.
2. 2 Meanwhile, separate broccoli stems and florets. Cut florets in half and cut each stem into several pieces lengthwise.
3. 3 Place stems in the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add florets and cook until just barely tender, about 3 more minutes.
4. 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer broccoli to a bowl of cold water, leaving the water boiling on the stove. Let broccoli sit until cool, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let sit until very well drained. Leave the bowl of cold water for the pasta.
5. 5 Meanwhile, add manicotti to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but slightly undercooked, 6 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer manicotti into the bowl of cold water.
6. 6 Chop cooled, drained broccoli into small pieces. Transfer 3 cups chopped broccoli to a mixing bowl and reserve any extra for another use.
7. 7 Add garlic, ricotta, provolone, 1 ¼ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, salt, cayenne, pepper, and nutmeg to the broccoli. Mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
8. 8 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
9. 9 Bring tomato sauce and water to a simmer over medium-high heat.
10. 10 Ladle ½ inch hot sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish or lasagna pan. Sprinkle in cooked Italian sausage.
11. 11 Transfer broccoli filling into a pastry bag. Cut off the tip slightly smaller than the opening of the manicotti. Gently pipe stuffing into 12 manicotti, being careful not to overstuff. Place stuffed manicotti in the sauce in the baking dish, angling as necessary to fit.
12. 12 Ladle in just enough sauce to barely cover the manicotti. Sprinkle ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano over top.
13. 13 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
14. 14 Garnish with parsley and let sit for 10 minutes.
15. 15 Serve two manicotti per bowl, garnished with more Parmigiano-Reggiano.

• olive oil
• cremini mushroom
• maitake mushroom
• oregano
• thyme
• black pepper
• baby spinach
• ricotta cheese
• pecorino romano cheese
• garlic
• mozzarella cheese
• pecorino romano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Put a pizza stone or baking sheet on the middle oven rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper or a cookie sheet lightly dusted with flour or cornmeal. Cover with a kitchen towel; let stand at room temperature until ready to use.
3. 3 Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cremini and maitake mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in oregano, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl. (Do not wipe skillet clean.)
4. 4 Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add spinach and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
5. 5 Stir together ricotta, Pecorino-Romano, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Brush dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Spread ricotta mixture in an even layer over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ricotta mixture. Top with cooked mushrooms and spinach.
6. 6 Carefully transfer pizza on parchment to hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake until cheese is bubbly and crust is deeply golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
7. 7 Transfer pizza and parchment to a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Remove parchment. Garnish with additional thyme, a few grinds of pepper, and shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese.

Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• cayenne pepper
• marjoram
• parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• rigatoni
• red onion
• yellow onion
• bay leaf
• tomato paste
• white wine
• black pepper
• carrot
• celery
• beef chuck
• salt pork
• pancetta
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until most of the fat is rendered, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
2. 2 Add beef chuck and 2 teaspoons salt to the pot. Increase the heat to high; cook and stir until browned and any liquid released begins to evaporate, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. 3 Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add cooked pancetta, celery, carrots, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add white wine, tomato paste, and bay leaf; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up the drippings from the bottom of the pan.
4. 4 Add yellow and red onions. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 30 minutes without stirring. After 30 minutes, stir onions and meat until well mixed. Cover again and cook for 30 more minutes.
5. 5 Stir, then reduce the heat to low. Keep uncovered and cook, occasionally stirring and skimming off any fat, until beef and onions seem to melt into each other, 8 to 10 hours. If the sauce is reducing too much, add water or broth as needed to maintain a sauce-like consistency.
6. 6 When the sauce is almost finished, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until just barely al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
7. 7 Add rigatoni to the sauce and cook until heated through. Garnish with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, marjoram, and cayenne.
