CRISPY CITRUS-CRUSTED POLLOCK Believe it: Crunchy breadcrumbs and tangy citrus salt give this fish dish the texture and flavor of fried without the grease and mess.

INGREDIENTS: 4 frozen pollock fillets, thawed 1 cup breadcrumbs 2 tbsp minced parsley 2 tbsp orange salt (turn the page for the recipe) 4 tbsp olive oil Leafy greens, for serving

”

Keep in mind that fish fillets are delicate and even though you're breading them, you're cooking at a high temperature, so watch them closely and take them out when they get to an internal temperature of 145 ° .

HOW TO MAKE ORANGE SALT This simple blend livens up just about any meat, veggie, or grain. WHAT YOU NEED: 1 large orange ½ cup kosher salt DIRECTIONS: 1. Using your vegetable peeler, remove just the outer zest of the orange. Save the rest for snacking or juicing. 2. Transfer the zest to your food processor and cover it with the salt. 3. Process until the zest is totally broken down and mixed into the salt so everything is roughly the same size.

FRANKS ONE-POT AND CHICKEN BEANS PARM PASTA Way healthier than the gooey, breaded OG and there’s barely any mess to clean up.

INGREDIENTS: 3 tbsp olive oil

1/2 red onion, sliced thin

2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cloves garlic, sliced thin ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Salt and pepper

12 oz package veggie rotini pasta

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 5 basil leaves

”

Cooking the pasta in the pot with everything else releases starch that gives you a thick, glossy sauce.

DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat a tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. 2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, until it's nicely golden brown on one side. 3. Add the dry pasta, tomatoes, basil, onion, garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to your pot with the seared chicken. Pour in 2½ cups of water and stir to cover the pasta most of the way. 4. Cover the pot and cook on high for about 12 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and the veggies are softened. 5. Stir in 3/4 cup of Parmesan, lower the heat and cover the pot again to let the cheese melt, about 4 minutes. 6. Finally, divide your pasta into bowls and serve with some extra grated Parmesan. 14

CREAMY CAULI CARBONARA

Chances are you've already got all the ingredients you need for this super-fresh take on the classic. Because everything in our lives needs a little cauliflower now.

INGREDIENTS: 12 oz package spaghetti

Salt and black pepper

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

5 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

1½ cups vegetable stock

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 whole egg yolks, optional

”

Steam the cauliflower until you can cut into it with a spoon—that's how soft it should be, beyond the point most people would cook it if they were eating it as a side dish.



- Lisa

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 4

STEP 5

STEP 6

DIRECTIONS: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate. 2. Place cauliflower in a metal strainer, set strainer in same pot as spaghetti. Cover and cook spaghetti with cauliflower according to spaghetti's package instructions. When done, set aside cauliflower and drain the pasta. 3. Put cooked cauliflower in the blender along with the stock, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Blend on high until smooth. 4. Pour the sauce onto the hot pasta. Add the bacon, peas, some extra pepper, and toss gently until combined. 5. Divide the pasta into bowls. Optionally, you can top each bowl with a raw yolk. 6. Break the yolk with your fork, stir it into the hot pasta to create a thick, creamy texture, and serve. 18

FUN FACT Foodies love to argue about carbonara—where it came from (an invention of Italian revolutionaries or of American GIs craving bacon and eggs?) and what goes in it (Pecorino vs. Parm, guanciale vs. pancetta, cream vs. no cream). We say calm down, people: It's Roman, it's the ultimate comfort food, and it can actually be really versatile if you let it.

SPAGHETTI AND CRISPY MEATBALLS

Try this grease-free method for perfect meatballs—it'll make your life so much better.

INGREDIENTS: ⅓ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus more for serving

¼ cup water or milk

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Salt and pepper

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

1 lb lean ground beef

½ tsp chili flakes, optional

12 oz package veggie spaghetti

¼ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs

3 cups pasta sauce

”

Use pantry items to kick up your jarred sauce: Throw in some chili flakes and you've got arrabbiata. If you like a sweeter sauce, add a little sugar. For more acid, some balsamic vinegar.



- Sade

STEP 4

DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 4000, and line a baking sheet with foil. Combine the parsley, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, water (or milk), and chili flakes in a bowl. Stir to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the ground beef and combine. Season with more salt and pepper. Form meatballs the size of a golf ball. Place them in a clean paper egg carton. 2. Set the carton on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. If you'd rather bake directly on the sheet, set them 2 inches apart. 3. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Heat up your sauce in a small pot and toss the cooked pasta in a large bowl with sauce, then serve into smaller bowls. 4. Top with a few meatballs and garnish with Parmesan and parsley.

3-STEP YUMMY YOGURT CURRY CHICKEN

Curry in a hurry! (We had to.) But really this nutritionpacked dish is so delicious and could not be easier to pull off.

INGREDIENTS: 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes ½ cup green beans, trimmed 2 carrots, peeled and cut into coins

1 tbsp ginger powder 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 2 to 3 cups cooked white rice

¼ cup plain yogurt

Naan, for serving

2 tbsp curry powder

”

Yogurt is acidic, so as a marinade it helps break down proteins and tenderize the chicken—it works with any protein really. And yogurt has lactose, so it caramelizes nicely in the oven.

- Lisa

25

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

DIRECTIONS: 1. Into a gallon-sized plastic storage bag, add the chicken, green beans, carrots, yogurt, curry, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Zip it closed, then shake and press the bag gently to circulate everything. Marinate the chicken for at least 5 minutes and up to 2 days in the refrigerator. 2. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 4000. Pour the contents of the bag into a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. 3. When the curry is ready, divide your white rice among two bowls and top each bowl with curry. Serve with warm naan on the side.

MAKE IT VEGGIE

26

If you're vegetarian, swap out the chicken for extra-firm tofu slices—you can pan-fry them first or just pop them straight into the bag to soak up the marinade. Alternatively, you can sneak in more veggies by adding some cauliflower to the carrots and green beans.

FUN FACT Believe it or not, curry powder isn't actually Indian. Wait, what? It's really a Westernized blend of some of the spices Indians commonly use—but they don't use them all together like we do. That doesn't mean we love it any less. Another shocker—curry's not an authentic Indian dish, either! Back in the day British

colonialists fell hard for spicy Indian cooking and co-opted the term "curry" to apply to pretty much all of it and took it back home with them. Love never fails, and curry remains one of the most popular dishes in England today, though no one in India actually calls it that.

3-STEP MOZZARELL A PESTO CHICKEN You'll be thanking yourself mid-week for prepping this Italian beauty —basically a baked caprese salad—ahead of time.

INGREDIENTS: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls ¼ cup pesto, plus more for serving 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp basil, chopped, plus more for serving

”

If you're marinating something in a bag, set it into a bowl before you put it in the fridge just in case it leaks.

DIRECTIONS: 1. Into a gallon-sized plastic storage bag, add the chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and basil. Zip it closed, then shake and press the bag gently to circulate everything. Let the chicken marinate for at least 5 minutes and up to 2 days in the refrigerator. 2. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 4000. Pour the contents of the bag into a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. 3. Divide the dish among two plates and garnish with more basil and pesto before serving.

FUN FACT

30

In the summertime, your tomatoes and basil are at the top of their game, so buy extra and use them for a caprese salad later in the week. Plate them with your leftover fresh mozzarella, add olive oil, salt and pepper, and bring everything to room temp. Serve it outside with a glass of prosecco and imagine you're on the Amalfi Coast, where this dish originated.

MAKE-AHEAD MASON JAR RAMEN

Live that IRL (instant ramen life) with some healthy upgrades (shredded chicken, fresh veggies) you can prep in advance.

INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken breast 3/4 cup dry ramen noodles

1 chicken bouillon cube 1 tbsp chili sauce

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

2 sheets dried seaweed, cut into strips

2 tbsp sliced scallions

Sesame seeds, for garnish

FUN FACT

Ramen was actually born in China and brought to Japan in the late 19th century. The inexpensive soup was super popular in post-war Japan, then in the 1980s, the instant-ramen craze hit—and it’s still going strong. Over the past decade, chefs have turned the dish into a global phenomenon that goes far beyond noodles and broth with inventive flavors and hacks. There’s no wrong way to do it. Have fun and experiment!

#Adulting SLOW-COOKER KUNG PAO CHICKEN

You're prepping food while drinking your morning coffee … delicious food that'll cook while you're at work, keep you from grabbing takeout, and feed your friends too—you're a grown-up.

INGREDIENTS: 1 red onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped 1 orange bell pepper, chopped 12 oz package stir-fry noodles 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 tbsp minced ginger

2 red serrano chili peppers, sliced ¼ cup brown sugar ⅓ cup soy sauce ½ cup chicken broth 2 tbsp cornstarch slurry 1 cup roasted peanuts Scallions, for garnish

3 cloves garlic, minced

FUN FACT

The OG version of Kung Pao (aka Gong Bao) is a spicy stir-fry of chicken, chili peppers, and peanuts. Legend has it the dish was a favorite of the late1800s Qing dynasty governor for whom it's named. As with most cuisine that originated overseas, it's been adapted here for American tastes (usually incorporating bell peppers and a sweeter sauce) and it has achieved rock star status among takeout regulars and home cooks alike. Though if you go to Chinatown you just might scope out a fiery plate akin to the original. 57

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 4

STEP 5

DIRECTIONS: 1. Add the onion and bell peppers to your slow cooker. 2. Layer on the dry noodles and the chicken. If you like your noodles more firm than creamy, you can wait and add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking along with a half cup of water. 3. Add ginger, garlic, chili peppers, brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch slurry, and peanuts. Peanuts can also be added at the end if you prefer them super crunchy. 4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours (or on high for 2 hours), until chicken is cooked through and noodles are creamy. 5. Divide among bowls or takeout cartons. Garnish with scallions and serve.

The number-one rule: Relaaaaax. If you grip too tightly your hand will start hurting and your food could go flying. So just keep it chill—it takes practice!

HOW TO

THICKEN WITH CORNSTARCH

1. Start with your fingers together and your thumb up like you're about to shake hands.

A quick fry and you’re golden.

WHAT YOU NEED: 12 oz package stir-fry noodles, cooked and drained Flour, for dredging Vegetable oil, for frying DIRECTIONS : 1. Evenly dredge the cooked noodles in flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour— this will keep your oil clean. 2. Heat the oil in a large pot to 350°, and fry the noodles until golden brown. Fry them in batches so they take up less than half the space in the pot (if they're too crowded, they'll steam). 3. Drain them on a paper towel and let cool.

A vital thing to remember when working with egg roll wrappers: Keep a damp paper towel over the wrappers you haven't used yet so they stay pliable. Otherwise they can dry out fast. Also have a small bowl of water ready for wetting your fingertips as you work— to help the wrappers adhere as you fold.

NETFLIX-ANDCHILL POPCORN CHICKEN Up your movie-night snacks game by literally putting the popcorn in popcorn chicken.

INGREDIENTS: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1½-inch pieces

7 cups popped popcorn (from about 1/4 cup kernels) ½ tsp garlic powder

1 cup vegetable oil

½ tsp black pepper

Ketchup or BBQ sauce, for dipping

1 cup flour 2 eggs, beaten

”

To make sure your popcorn coating gets golden brown and doesn't burn, keep an eye on it and flip the chicken regularly. If it's browning too fast, you can remove it from the oil and pop it in the oven at 350° to finish cooking through.

DIRECTIONS: 1. Pour the popcorn into a food processor with the garlic powder and pepper. 2. Pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then transfer to a plate. 3. Put the flour on a separate plate, and the eggs in a small bowl. Now dredge each piece of chicken in this order: flour, egg, popcorn crumbs. 4. Heat the oil to 3500 in a nonstick pan or a cast-iron skillet. Add 10 to 12 pieces of chicken without overcrowding. Turn occasionally until they're golden brown. 5. Remove chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the oil. Serve with ketchup or BBQ sauce for dipping. 82

CHEESE-CEPTION FRIED MAC AND CHEESE BALLS It's time for dinner, bring us all the cheese. We'll stuff it with more cheese and fry it.

INGREDIENTS: 2 cups plain flour

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

5 eggs, lightly beaten

2½ cups whole milk

3½ cups breadcrumbs

2 cups macaroni noodles

Vegetable oil, for frying

2 tsp salt

Chopped parsley, for serving

12 1-inch cubes cheddar

”

Because these are cooked from frozen, it's important that your oil isn't too hot or you'll end up with burned crusts and frozen centers. When the oil starts to ripple, test with a breadcrumb or a sprinkle of flour. If it dances and sizzles, you're ready. If it's smoking, it's too hot. Also make sure there's plenty of room in the pot. You want the balls to swim, not crowd, or the temp will lower and they'll get soggy.

DIRECTIONS: 1. In a pot over medium heat, add the cheese, milk, macaroni, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to prevent sticking. Reduce heat so the milk doesn’t boil over, and cook for about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. 2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and use an ice-cream scoop to place macaroni into each section. Press into the bottom and up sides. 3. Add a cube of cheese into the middle of each. 4. Add more macaroni and press. Freeze for 1 hour, or up to 24 hours. 5. Prepare 3 bowls: flour, egg, breadcrumbs. Coat each ball in that order. 6. Heat oil to 325°. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Pro Tips!

Katie shares her tricks for perfecting your bread bowls, plus ideas for how to fill and serve them.

1

BOUGIE BAGEL BOWLS "To capture that New York style—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—brush on the egg wash and then let the bowls sit out an extra 30 minutes to proof and develop a crust on the outside."

We love to fill them with cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, tomato, and dill. 2

ITALIAN BREADSTICK BOWLS "If you really want to amp up the Italian flavor, roast some whole garlic cloves until they're a mashed potato-y texture and mix them into softened butter."

We love to fill them with tomato soup with crema and thyme. 3 TWISTED TWISTEDPRETZEL PRETZELBOWLS BOWLS "When you make pretzels, you have to boil the dough in a baking soda solution. This pretzel wash hack shortens that step. The chemical reaction turns the dough super brown and glossy and crispy, and gives it a sourdough flavor."

We love to fill them with spinach-artichoke dip with melted cheese on top. 95
