Sometimes simple is best. That’s the case here with this simple crab pasta.
Pasta, Risotto, Gnocchi
Pasta Primavera
Classic pasta primavera the way Le Cirque used to make it back in the 1980s: Angel hair with fresh spring vegetables and cream.
Shrimp Risotto
A classic Italian shrimp risotto that uses saffron, some peas and lots of butter. It screams spring, even in winter.
Agretti
How to cook agretti, the Italian vegetable that also goes by monk’s beard and is Salsola soda in Latin. Agretti is easy to grow, too.
Linguine with White Clam Sauce
As a Jersey boy, this classic Italian-American pasta dish was one of my favorites: Linguini with white clam sauce. Clams, herbs, olive oil and lotsa garlic!
Pigeon, Dove or Duck Ragu
This is a long-simmered, intensely flavorful sauce for doves, pigeons, ducks, or sharp-tailed grouse.
Smoked Salmon Pasta
Whole wheat pasta with flaked smoked salmon and fresh herbs. Using a hearty pasta like whole wheat with salmon is a great match.
Homemade Agnolotti
Italian agnolotti pasta filled with meat. What meat? Squirrel, in this case. Any light meat will work.
