Get Recipe: Fresh Basil Pesto
“This recipe has perfect proportions! I’ve followed this twice now and it’s great for roughly a pound of ravioli. I put half of the sauce at the bottom of the platter, fill with ravioli (scooped out of the pot with a spider, so a bit of pasta water gets mixed in), top with the rest of the sauce, and gently toss. I’ll have to try it with spaghetti next time.”—Zach, Reader

“Great recipe. I used boxed stock but added 2 heaping spoons of Better Than Bouillon to bump up the flavor exponentially.” —Tim, Reader

Get Recipe: Baked Ziti
“I found this recipe a couple years ago and it has become a family favorite. I usually don’t ever repeat recipes because I get bored eating the same thing, but this is one that is worth repeating. One thing to mention is that I substitute with Impossible Italian sausage because we don’t eat meat. We use fresh basil from our garden, and Rao’s sauce. It comes together wonderfully and is probably one of my favorite foods.” —Amber, Reader

Get Recipe: Pasta Carbonara
“Arrived home late and had 15 minutes to feed the family. This was an outstanding recipe—quick, easy, and so delicious. Don’t heat the sauce, as the eggs scramble and it’s not nearly as good as the ‘raw’ sauce. Definitely this will become part of my stock standard repertoire.” —Madison, Reader

Get Recipe: Classic Roast Beef
“I made this with a 6-lb. flat round; it turned out excellent with a few dried herbs added. Made red wine sauce and horseradish sauce—both complemented it well.” —Kim, Reader

Get Recipe: Homemade Pizza & Pizza Dough
“Spectacular as always. I’ve been using this recipe for years and was happy to share with family and new neighbors last night. I did everything by hand and used 00 flour. The pizza turned out great and I loved sharing how easy the process was with everyone.” —Rebecca, Reader

Get Recipe: Pozole Rojo (Mexican Pork and Hominy Stew)
“I have gotten dozens if not hundreds of recipes off the internet using Google to search. This is the first time I have EVER left a comment. This pozole was the BEST EVER!!!! I had to double the recipe as I was cooking for the firehouse and this recipe made me look like an absolute pro. It was delicious!
I had to really struggle to take my third bowl down. I satisfied my hunger after one bowl; however, it was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!” —Patrick, Reader
