Meatless Mondays

There's a lot to like here. The caramelized sweetness of sweet potatoes and onions. The salty and tangy creaminess of feta. And the knowing that you're doing something decent for yourself without it tasting like penance.

Cacio e pepe kugel. It's what happens when Rome's famous pasta dish collides with everyone's favorite Jewish comfort food.

A simple, silken rice porridge that's certain to soothe and salve the soul—especially those souls afflicted with a sore throat or a queasy tummy.

"Amazing." "Wonderful." "Warm satisfaction." "Won the make-it-again award." "Easy." "Quick." That's what we're hearing about this luxuriously satiating soup.

Hello, weeknight supper scrounged from the pantry. And with no compromise whatsoever in terms of taste. We're actually hearing this reminds folks of something they'd order at a cafe in SoHo.

This is as indulgent as a quick weeknight pasta dish can get with its creamy and rich (though not too rich) sauce punctuated with the lilt of lemon.

Roasted winter squash with a little bling in the form of Parmigiano-Reggiano. So simple. So surprising. So satisfying.

Just like mom made. That's what we're hearing from folks who grew up hoovering this classic, quick, easy, cheap Italian staple any and all times of day.

"One of the best things I’ve EVER made." "Beautiful." "Comforting." "Delicious." "Easy." That's what folks are saying about this simple and satiating casserole.

Easy, healthy, simple, vegan, and done in an hour. And, most importantly, absolutely scrumptious.

A fast, easy, and unbelievably enticing way to get your greens. (And a perfect way to use up that container of miso in the back of your fridge.)

As much of a one-pan wonder as they come. Willpower doesn’t stand a chance against this cheesy baked spaghetti casserole.

This lovely melding of cheese course and last course becomes even lovelier with a generous pour of port.

Simple yet sophisticated in that way that only the French have with eggs. Lovely at any time of day. Preferably with a glass of white wine at your side.

Sweet enough to entice the kid in you but boozy enough to appeal to the adult in you. (Apparently we like our vegetables the same way we like our cocktails.)

We swear no one will notice flecks of suspiciously healthy green once they're cramming their faces with this indulgently creamy stovetop classic smothered with crisp, buttery bread crumbs.

Eggplant, celery, fennel, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, olives, raisins, and pine nuts, oh my! Sicilian heaven in the form of a pleasingly tart side dish of sorts.

Is there anything as sweetly satisfying as heirloom tomatoes eaten raw over the sink? Probably not. But when you tire of that, there's always this deeply satiating tactic.

An easy and elegant version of the traditional Russian winter soup that's refreshing (and healthy) as heck.

Summer simplicity that's gonna earn a place in your weekly rotation.
