Arrabbiata Sauce
For parties and special occasions we'd veer away from the basic marinara sauce and do something different, like an
arrabbiata
sauce. This spicy version of the basic marinara sauce can add a lot of interest to pasta. (
Arrabiata
means angry in the case of a person, and in the case of a dog, mad.) We think that Dad liked to make the arrabbiata sauce just so he could ask Checka if she was arrabbiata. Of course, it's now Checka who wears the mantle of best arrabbiata sauce maker in the clan.

Basic Tomato Sauce
The secret of our sauce is to let it cook its way to a depth of flavor possible only with meatballs simmering in the pot. If you can make some time to prepare our basic sauce ahead of time, even freezing it, it's amazing how you can turn a weekday into the real Italian thing. You can get the sauce started in a large pot while you make the meatballs. Grandmom liked to sauté her meatballs before placing them in the pot; Mom just put them right in without frying.

cherry tomatoes and garlic
This is a really easy, versatile dish that we cook whenever we have cherry or grape tomatoes on hand. We found this in a Real Simple magazine years ago, and it was described as a sauce that you can spoon over fish or chicken. We have used it as prescribed but have also whipped it up as a quick side or even served it as a tapa with fluffy, buttered pita wedges that we dip into the sauce. Sometimes we even serve is as a cocktail snack. Leftovers can be tossed into an omelet the next day. This recipe has stayed with us through the years. We cooked it for our engagement photos and included this recipe as part of our wedding cookbook. Adapted from a 2007 issue of Real Simple magazine.

This is the first pesto recipe that we've really liked. Other recipes were either bland or had too much olive oil. The flavors in this one are super fresh! Adapted from

ferran adria’s bolognese sauce
We decided to make this sauce in order to make use of leftover ingredients in the fridge. We ate some for that night’s dinner, stored some in the fridge for use later in the week (it keeps for 5 days), then packed some up in a food saver bag and threw it in the freezer (keeps for 6 months). We are now one simple overnight defrost and a quick pot of pasta away from an easy and delicious dinner! Because we are huge fans of lamb, we’ll probably use ground lamb the next time we make it. And to help shave a few calories and reduce some guilt, we’ll use less butter. :) Adapted from the basic recipes chapter in Ferran Adria’s
The Family Meal
. The lessons learned in the chapter’s preface is just as valuable as the recipe itself. The preface emphasizes the benefits of cooking base components, such as sauces and stocks, in large freezable quantities. Doing so expands the number of everyday recipes you can quickly make.

Homemade Hoisin Sauce
This sauce has a great balance of sweet, sour and salty flavors. It's a great stir fry sauce and glaze for baked tofu. Play around with the ingredients and adjust it to your taste. You can make it spicy by adding fresh chilis or a good chili sauce.

how to cook beans in a pressure cooker without having to soak them
In trying to use up a bunch of our pantry items, we found some leftover dried beans from previous projects. We recently got a pressure cooker and had read about how easy it was to cook beans in them, so we decided to try it out. We were impressed! As promised, the cooking time was super fast, and the beans turned out perfect. Since it is kind of a pain to pull out the pressure cooker from its box on the storage shelf and clean it, we decided to cook a few batches of different beans and use them throughout the week. Now that we know how to prepare them, we will definitely be cooking dried beans regularly!

jacques pepin's basic chicken stock
jacques pepin's consommé recipe
Broth is one of the most fulfilling things you can make in the kitchen. Consommé is the funnest magic trick you can do with your broth. Here’s how I got there. Sick in bed one day in May with the worst allergy attack of my life, I watched the DVD that came with the Jacques Pepin (JP) book Essential Pepin. In a KQED radio interview, JP said that the DVD was more valuable than the book, so I think to myself, "word, I better check this out!" In addition to lots of timeless techniques that he integrates into his show, the DVD also contained a segment where JP turned cloudy soup stock into crystal clear broth called consommé. I was so amazed that I made consommé as soon as I was feeling better. Adapted from Jacques Pepin’s latest book, Essential Pepin.

mojo de ajo - rick bayless’ recipe for garlic mojo
numnums broth with kombu and special effects
We always have home made broth in the freezer. When a recipe calls for broth, we just unmold the frozen broth from the container directly into a saucepan and then thaw it over medium-low heat. Our recipe will often vary, and in the photos above, we mixed and matched recipe components to come up with 3 different formulas. It always involves our vegetable and herb trimmings that we store in a ziplock bag in the freezer, aka our "gnarly bag." It always involves chicken bones from the butcher, and sometimes frozen chicken carcasses that we've saved from Costco rotisserie chicken. We kick it off in the morning, then strain and store the broth at the end of the day. We have all hands on deck involving all of the large pots that we own. The special effects include the following: kombu (dried edible kelp) for glutamates (compounds that add umami/savoriness), pulverized shiitake mushrooms for glutamates, vinegar to help extract minerals out of the bones, veal or other marrow bones for gelatin that's great for the skin, and ginger to aid with digestion.
