Vegetable & Side Dishes

Our favorite recipe for this quirky and completely delicious pasta is a spicy blend of shrimp, calamari and spinach in a brothy tomato sauce.

The crust on this explosion of summer flavor is buttery and crisp &emdash; the semolina gives it a rustic coarseness and the layer of olive pâté contributes nice depth of flavor.

A bright and colorful salad for warm weather or whenever you need a little taste of summer.

From our dear friend Carolyn Buck.

A light and simple dish that can be served warm alongside a piece of grilled fish or at room temperature as a rice salad.

It doesn't have to be spring asparagus, but we just adore those first stalks.
