Fresh tagliatelle, with shrimp and heirloom tomatoes.
Prep: 5 Cook: 20

  • 2cloves garlic
  • 2scallions
  • 4TBS sour cream
  • 1lemon
  • 1Thai chili
  • 10oz heirloom grape tomatoes
  • 12oz shrimp
  • 8oz tagliatelle pasta
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil
  • butter


Prep:

Wash and dry all produce. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mince garlic. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Finely mince chili, removing seeds and ribs for less heat. Halve tomatoes. Cut lemon into wedges. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel.

Cook shrimp:

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic,scallionwhites, and chili (to taste). Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, tossing, until starting to turn pink but not quite cooked through, 1- to 2-minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Boil pasta:

Once water is boiling, add tagliatelle to pot.

Tip: If any noodles are stuck together, separate them first.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 4- to 5-minutes. Carefully scoop out and reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Cook tomatoes:

Meanwhile, add tomatoes to pan with shrimp. Cook, tossing, until wilted and juicy, 2- to 3-minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside until pasta is ready.

Tip: If you like it spicy, add any remaining chili (to taste) at this point.

Toss pasta:

Once tagliatelle is done cooking, return pan with shrimp and tomatoes to medium heat and add tagliatelle and 2 TBS butter. Toss to combine and melt butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and serve:

Remove pan from heat and stir in sour cream, a squeeze of lemon, and as much pasta cooking water as needed to create a saucy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates or bowls and garnish with scallion greens. Serve with lemon wedges

with Blistered Tomatoes and Potato Wedges

Yield: 2

Adapted from: Hello Fresh

A new take on chicken Parmesan. Herbs, breadcrumbs, and mozzarella are heaped onto chicken to create glorious crown of a crust. In place of marinara, roasted tomatoes add a sweet and tangy punch. On the side, you’ve also got some crispy potatoes
Prep: 10 Cook: 35

  • 12oz Yukon potatoes
  • 2Roma tomatoes
  • ½cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1tsp dried oregano
  • 1tsp paprika
  • ½cup mozzarella cheese
  • 12oz chicken breasts
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil


Preheat and prep:

Wash and dry all produce.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges, like steak fries.

Core and quarter tomatoes.

Roast veggies:

Toss potatoes on one side of a foil-lined baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. On other side of baking sheet, toss tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until potatoes are crispy and tomatoes are very soft, 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Make panko crust:

Mix panko, oregano, paprika, mozzarella cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Season chicken:

Season chicken breasts all over with salt and pepper. Rub with a drizzle of olive oil. Place on a second baking sheet.

Coat chicken:

Add a layer of panko crust to top of each chicken breast, gently pressing to adhere. Pile topping as high as possible (you may have some left over).

Bake chicken and serve:

Bake chicken until meat is cooked through and topping is golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with potato wedges and roasted tomatoes.

Beef Braciole

Yield: 4 Servings

First off, it’s pronounced bra-jahl not brack-e-ole, just wanted to be clear there. Beef Braciole is an American Italian dish of parmesan and bread crumb stuffed beef roulades braised in a delicious tomato sauce.
This is seriously so dang good. I’ve always said that braising is my favorite cooking method and this beef braciole recipe just proves that to be true!
Prep: 25 Cook: 1 hour 15

  • 128- oz cans of San Marzano Tomatoes
  • 1lb beef top sirloin
  • ½cup breadcrumbs
  • ½cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2TBS minced fresh parsley
  • 2finely minced cloves garlic
  • 2-3TBS olive oil
  • sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
  • ¼cup white wine

Add the tomatoes to a blender and blend on medium speed until smooth. Transfer to a medium-size pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook on low heat.

Next, slice the sirloin into 6 thin fillets and pound each of them out on a cutting board in between plastic wrap or a plastic bag until it is about ¼ thick. Season with salt and pepper. Set it aside.

In a medium-size bowl mix breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic, 2 TBS olive oil and salt and pepper until combined.

Add a small amount of the breadcrumb mixture to the center of each pounded beef fillet and spread it out across the beef fillet pressing it down into the beef. Roll up the beef to make a roulade.

Repeat until the beef and stuffing has all been used and truss each beef roulade with butcher’s twine or a toothpick.

Next, add 1-2 TBS olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Add in white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the tomato sauce, add a lid to the pan and cook over low heat for 1 hour.

Remove the butcher’s twine, slice, and serve.

Chef notes:

You can get creative with this braciole recipe and use pounded out pork or chicken instead of beef.

You can use strip loin as well.

Make sure the oil is lightly smoking over medium-high heat before adding in the beef to sear.
