Creamy Lamb's-Quarters GratinSharon Radisch

Lamb's-quarters is a common weed that is being rediscovered as the super-food it was reputed to be centuries ago. It goes by many names, but the most descriptive is wild spinach because that's exactly what it tastes like: Spinach, only way better! If you like creamed spinach, you'll love creamy lamb's-quarters, baked under a cheesy crumb crust.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
