About

This recipe uses a homemade beef stock that is made even meatier by the addition of browned bits of beef and sautéed cremini mushrooms; both add hearty flavor to the soup.

French Pork Stew

Beef is king when it comes to meat stews but it’s the not the only choice. A French boiled dinner known as potée features a mix of fresh and smoked cuts of pork in a light broth. It served as the inspiration for our French pork stew that is incredibly simple—this recipe requires no browning of ingredients or makes zero mess on the stovetop. This French peasant recipe varies from region to region, but most versions combine multiple pork cuts, always including one smoked cut; sausages; and a mix of cabbage, onions, and sturdy root vegetables. The dish is plenty porky, and because it’s typically not thickened, the broth has a light, clean taste.

Homemade Pasta

Have you ever wondered if fresh pasta is better than dry? After all, they’re certainly not the same thing. Tender and chewy, fresh pasta is best dressed with rich, lush sauces—and we love that it takes just seconds to cook. Some think making fresh pasta is too hard, but here we show you a quick and simple food processor method. See how we take all the mystery out of rolling the pasta out and cutting it into your favorite shape. You will learn to make a satisfying filling for ravioli, and then how to fill and cut them. And while not made from fresh pasta dough, learn how to make potato gnocchi by hand with a delicious sauce that complements all the flavors in the dish. You’ll also learn how to avoid common mistakes like gluey gnocchi and overcooked pasta, and what ingredients are best to create the right flavor and texture in your fresh pasta dishes.

Olive Rosemary Bread

Olive-rosemary bread is the most classic variation on a basic rustic loaf. However, you can’t simply add olives to our Rustic Italian Bread. We found it necessary to make several adjustments to the dough to boost the flavor and lower the hydration level. The biggest challenge is keeping the olives in the dough as it is shaped. Many recipes call for adding the olives to the mix, but this just causes the olives to break down and stain the loaf purple or green. The mashed olives also made the loaf heavy and dense. We found it best to add the olives to the already kneaded dough. To ensure even distribution, we found it best to remove the dough from the mixer, pat it into a rectangle, sprinkle the olives over the dough, then roll up the dough like a jelly roll. As dough rises, the olives are evenly dispersed and safely embedded into the loaf so they don’t fall out during the shaping process.
