A new collection of pasta recipes aims to make weeknight dinners simpler and more inspired. All ten dishes use fewer than ten ingredients, yet deliver bold flavor without requiring complicated steps or long prep times. The recipes are designed to take advantage of spring and summer produce such as bright herbs, sweet peas, zucchini, and tomatoes.
Among the featured recipes is Burst Tomato Pasta, which combines cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and tomato paste to create a bright, jammy sauce. Simple Zucchini Pasta uses caramelized zucchini, lemon, parmesan, and fresh herbs for a fresh and comforting meal. Lemon Ricotta Pasta offers a creamy, colorful option with bright, layered flavor.
For gatherings, the Lemony Spring Pasta Salad with Olives, Artichokes, and Bacon brings Mediterranean-inspired taste with a lemony green dressing. Cheesy Pesto Gnocchi Bake requires only a handful of ingredients and one pan, providing creamy comfort with pesto and spinach. Miso Tomato Pasta adds salty-sweet umami depth to a tomato sauce, proving minimal effort can yield rich results.
Green Sauce Pasta uses a blended spinach sauce with lemon and parmesan for a vibrant, silky dish that incorporates more greens. One Pot Garlicky Mushroom Pasta with Sausage and Arugula balances flavor with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and greens, making it hearty and weeknight-friendly. Spaghetti With Garlicky Shrimp, Asparagus, and Tomatoes relies on four cloves of garlic to infuse the dish with strong flavor, addressing the common issue of shrimp lacking taste in pasta recipes.
Pesto Pasta Primavera rounds out the collection as a spring dish that is fresh and bright. The recipe is reportedly made weekly by the site’s founder and has become a go-to for the team.
