Pasta with shrimp in cream sauce is an elegant and surprisingly simple dish of Italian cuisine — the ideal choice for a romantic dinner, unexpected guests or simply when you want something light and refined. Despite its restaurant-worthy appearance, it comes together in just 20 minutes and requires neither special skills nor rare ingredients — just good pasta, fresh or frozen shrimp, cream, garlic and parmesan. The combination of tender seafood and a thick fragrant sauce with a gentle garlic accent delivers genuine gastronomic pleasure. In a pan with olive oil and butter sauté crushed garlic, add peeled shrimp and stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Pour in cream, warm through, add salt, black pepper, lemon zest and grated parmesan. Cook pasta al dente, toss with the sauce and serve immediately with herbs. Proportions for 2 servings inside.

Tagliolini with shrimp is an elegant and surprisingly simple Italian dish in which thin egg pasta is served with tender shrimp in a light garlic-and-cream sauce with white wine and fresh herbs. Tagliolini is a long, thin pasta made from durum flour and egg yolks, very similar to tagliatelle but thinner. The dish turns out restaurant-level, yet comes together in just 15-20 minutes and works equally well for a romantic dinner or for entertaining guests. In a pan with olive oil and butter sauté crushed garlic, add peeled shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, pour in dry white wine and let it reduce. Add cream, salt, black pepper, lemon zest and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Cook the pasta al dente, toss with the sauce and finish with parsley and parmesan. Proportions for 2 servings inside.

Mac and cheese (macaroni and cheese American style)

Write a comment

Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food – tender pasta coated in a rich, velvety cheddar sauce that comes together on the stovetop in about 20 minutes. This recipe uses a classic roux-based method for a smooth sauce with no graininess and no processed cheese in sight.

The technique is straightforward: make a quick roux with butter and flour, whisk in milk until thickened, then stir in freshly grated cheddar until it melts into a glossy, clinging sauce. We also cover the best pasta shapes, optional add-ins like smoked gouda or mustard powder, and how to finish the dish under the broiler for a golden breadcrumb crust if you prefer a baked version.

Wok noodles with chicken and vegetables are a popular and remarkably tasty Asian dish that's easy to make at home without a real wok — an ordinary deep heavy-bottomed skillet works perfectly. The main secrets of these noodles are fast stir-frying over high heat, which keeps the chicken juicy and lets the vegetables hold their crunch and bright color. Cut the chicken breast into thin matchsticks and quickly stir-fry with garlic and ginger, then add bell pepper, carrot, onion, mushrooms, zucchini or bean sprouts. Cook udon, rice or egg noodles separately, add to the vegetables, pour over a sauce of soy, oyster and sweet chili, and finish with sesame seeds and green onion. Proportions for 4 servings inside.
