A list of all the recipes Gene C. has tested.
Bucatini all’Amatriciana
All’Amatriciana—go on, roll that “r” like they do in Italy—means a spicy pasta sauce of tomatoes and pancetta or bacon. Prego.
Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs
“Simple.” “Perfect.” “The moistest chicken with the crispiest skin we’ve ever had.” That’s what folks are saying about this crowd-pleasing, weeknight-friendly chicken trick.
Cacio e Pepe
This crazy satisfying, ridiculously cheap, pantry-minded dinner consists of just pasta, cheese, oil, salt, pepper, and a nifty technique.
Refrigerator Sweet Pickles
A Scandinavian-style pickle that’s distinctly sweet, a little sour, and perfumed with dill. It doesn’t even require turning on the stove during the dog days of summer.
Tuscan Bean Soup
A classic Italian vegetable soup that just happens to be loaded with so-called super foods such as kale. Seems Nonna’s known what’s best all along.
Homemade Harissa
In the words of one of our recipe testers, “If this sauce is what Moroccan food is all about, then I’m all in.” Us, too.
Spicy Beef Taco Bake
Taco casserole. Were there ever two words more beautiful side by side?
Veal Piccata
“Everyone loved it, including the kiddos.” “Quick and easy.” “Perfect.” “As good as any restaurant piccata I’ve ever had.” That’s what folks are saying about this recipe.
Pepper and Egg Sandwich
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.
