Aglio e Olio (Fried Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil)

Chris McLaughlin, contributor | January 21st, 20101 comment

Don't get cheap on me here; buy the best olive oil that you can afford and use fresh chopped tomatoes. You get extra points if you use heirlooms.

susan belsinger, contributor | November 24th, 2009

Use whichever winter squash you prefer. Some of my favorites are Sweet Dumpling, Delicata, Blue Hubbard, Carnival, acorn, and butternut; I usually use two different types for this dish. This is so simple and oh-so-good.

Winter Squash Soup with Black Beans and Corn

susan belsinger, contributor | November 15th, 2009

This Southwestern-style soup features the native trio of squash, beans, and corn; their flavors having been combined for centuries. This soup is quick to assemble once the squash or pumpkin has been prepared. It can be made ahead; it is one of those soups that tastes even better the next day. If you don't like cilantro, substitute Italian flat-leaved parsley and/or basil.

Roasted Chile and Herb Sauce

susan belsinger, contributor | August 14th, 2009

This is a recipe using roasted chiles in a delicious South-of-the-Border green herb sauce. It has similarities to both pipián verde from Mexico and pesto from Italy, with a Southwestern touch. It is delicious on pasta, potatoes, squash, fresh sliced tomatoes, or with grilled chicken and fish, on sandwiches and wraps.

Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. The ingredients are fairly versatile.
