The concept of sneaking veggies into a pasta dinner has long been marketed at parents of finicky children, but who are we kidding? Adults can need help packing vegetables into their meals, too. Broccoli is the base of this vibrant emerald sauce, which is silky smooth thanks to pasta water, which adds starchiness and body. The result is gorgeously green and richly delicious. Prep tip: If your broccoli has a long stem, use a vegetable peeler to take off the rough, outer layer. Since this sauce freezes well, you could also make a double batch and freeze half for later.

Chicken tikka masala is a beloved dish, so it’s only natural that you’d want to recreate those amazing flavors at home.

While this isn’t a traditional recipe for chicken tikka masala, it’s a great place to start if you’ve felt intimidated by attempting your own version of your favorite Indian dish.

Say hello to your next date night dinner: flavorful steamed mussels worthy of any fancy restaurant, served with stewed cannellini beans and crusty bread for sopping up the luxurious broth. Break out the candles and your favorite white wine and cue a lovely dinner for two. Prep tip: If you’ve never cooked mussels, do not fear. Pull off any “beard”—aka a thread-looking bundle clinging to the shell—and then give them a good scrub with the rough side of a damp, clean sponge to release any grit.

The key to a great holiday punch recipe is keeping the flavor interesting enough, without being too sweet. This Caribbean-inspired punch fits the bill. There’s sweet pineapple juice, tart lime juice, and three kinds of alcohol. Dark rum plays off the simple syrup, Campari adds a bitter touch for balance, and Prosecco supplies a fun fizz. If you want to make the bowl of punch look festive, try making an ice ring in your Bundt pan. Freeze the pan half-way full with ice and loosen by dipping in warm water. Place in your punch bowl before filling so that the punch doesn’t overflow or splash out!
