Sweet Corn Pasta Sauce

September 4, 2018 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

It’s the end of summer, or so the autumn-lovers among us hope. Most days are still hot, but there are hints of fall: a brush of yellow in the trees, cooler mornings and evenings, the scent of roasting green chile in the air at the growers’ market. And, at the store, piles of ears of…

Spicy Penne with Broccoli and Garlic

September 18, 2017 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

I was in my hometown – Urbana, Illinois – talking to Inga, one of my oldest and dearest friends. We were discussing gardening and cooking, as we inevitably do, when she said something simple that brought me up short. Something like: “I grow a lot of broccoli, because we eat a lot of it, and…

Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)

May 12, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

As I have mentioned before, I absolutely love Korean food. It’s famous for its heat and funk, but it has a deliciously sweet and mild side too. No dish exemplifies this side better than Japchae, stir-fried glass noodles.

Pappardelle with Quick and Luxurious Lemon Cream Sauce

October 11, 2012 by Kristin Satterlee 4 Comments

  Okay, my friends, here it is: This is the kind of recipe you’re here for. It’s truly luscious, sensuous with cream and bright with tangy lemon. But even better, it is dead simple. The shopping list for this luxurious lemon-cream sauce? Butter, cream, and lemons. I often read in Italian cookbooks that a simple…

Linguine with Eggplant Parmesan Sauce

August 9, 2011 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

For the food-obsessed, this is one of the most exciting times of year. After winter whittled our produce options down to hairy carrots, pale cabbages, and shriveled garlic, spring teased us with promise — but mostly provided an exhaustingly constant supply of greens and the here-and-gone quicksilver magic of fresh berries. But now we’re at…

Creamy Baked Ziti with Cottage Cheese and Tomato Sauce

February 14, 2011 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Baked pasta is incredibly appealing, especially on chilly winter evenings. Yielding pasta, tangy tomato sauce, creamy cheese, chewy brown edges – what’s not to love? Unfortunately, baked pasta often fails to live up to its Platonic ideal. The pasta overbakes to mush, or comes out dry and unappealing; the ricotta layer that should give such…

Spanakopasta: Spaghetti with Spinach and Feta

January 24, 2011 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Last week I bought the new, revised edition of How to Cook Everything. I had actually forgotten there was a revision until I ordered it – I just think that once your paperback copy of a book has fallen into three or more pieces, it’s time to invest in the hardcover. I was reading the…

Yaki-Soba: Japanese Stir-Fried Noodles

November 27, 2010 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Yaki-soba is one of those essentially simple, endlessly flexible dishes, perfect for times when the cupboard is relatively bare and you have some odds and ends to use up. Today I made it as an unusual destination for Thanksgiving leftovers, using chunks of turkey. It would be great for those days when you’re sick of…

Quick Eats: Fried Spaghetti

March 9, 2010 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

This is an idea I’ve come across a couple of times, but this particular time I saw it in Best American Recipes 2005-2006. And this is the time when, a few weeks after seeing the recipe, I got sick and my sweetie made me spaghetti for dinner. And there were leftovers. And what on earth…

Haluski (Polish Egg Noodles with Cabbage)

February 3, 2010 by Kristin Satterlee 2 Comments

So, what do you do when the cupboard is bare? When, for instance, your fresh vegetable drawer is down to one lonely head of cabbage and an onion? I look for a pasta dish. I always have pounds and pounds of pasta in the house, and it is amazing the meals you can turn out…
