Moroccan Eggplant Caponata Pasta

Almond-Sesame Kelp Noodles
I talk a lot of smack about the juice industry in New York. Sure, a big bottle of Doctor Green or Mother Earth makes you feel really healthy while it’s going down.

Jalapeno Mac and Cheese with Scallions

Skillet Lasagna with Zucchini, Arugula, and Fontina
For some reason over the years I’ve harbored a bit of a pasta bias towards lasagna. Even when I could eat gluten, I hardly ever ordered lasagna off a menu. Like, possibly never.

Pasta Carbonara with Zucchini and Crispy Prosciutto
Green Eggs & Ham and I go way back. Well, to childhood, obviously. But in terms of my cooking story, not quite that far.

Gluten-Free is Me: Spaghetti with Clams and Three Herbs
Our good friend Sandy has come to town, and so far, I'm not that impressed.

Kitchen Sink Gluten-Free Mac n’ Cheese

Linguine with Asparagus, Peas, and Arugula

Spaghetti with Broccoli Rabe and Sundried Tomato Paste
I’d say one of the questions I get most, a close second to “what’s your favorite thing to cook,” which I never seem to have a back-pocket answer to, is “how are you so skinny??” The answer, which I’m always pained to give, is that I was born this ...
