NOTE: Save some dry pasta for Thursday's dinner.

Garlic Bread that is crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. It's so easy that you'll never even look at store-bought garlic bread again.

NOTE: Save leftover garlic bread for Thursday's dinner!

Hate doing dishes? Cook up chicken, potatoes, and asparagus in an oven-safe skillet for a satisfying meal that requires practically zero cleanup time!

The perfect risotto made with arborio rice, crimini mushrooms and parmesan. A quick and easy weeknight meal.

While most modern pesto recipes will point you towards your food processor, this Pesto Genovese relies on the more traditional method of finely mincing everything up together.

Before starting on this pesto, start cooking your linguini pasta and toast your leftover garlic bread.

NOTE: Save some pesto for tomorrow's dinner.

This crispy skin salmon is a healthy seafood dish with a delicious pesto and crunchy vegetable sauce that is perfect for Friday date night.
