Saturday Night Alfredo
“My kids know Alfredo as ‘cheesy pasta,’ but it’s the same thing,” writes Carla Lalli. “I favor De Cecco fusilli, the same brand [my mother] Carole had in the pantry—the coils just feel right.”

Dijon-Herb Chicken Breast
The star here is the marinade. It keeps the chicken juicy, which is why I love it for hosting a lunch or keeping in the fridge for a quick protein option. Slice it over a salad, tuck it into a sandwich, or pair it with whatever vegetables are in the fridge. This recipe can easily be adapted with any seasoning variation—create your own blend of spices to change it week to week or to match the rest of your menu.
Grilled Farro Salad with Broccolini, Corn, and Parsley Pesto
This is the kind of salad I come back to all summer. It's hearty enough to anchor a lunch, but just as happy sitting alongside grilled fish or chicken for dinner. The farro can be made a day or two ahead, and the vegetables are best when they've picked up a little char from the grill. It's a salad that only gets better as it sits, making it perfect for entertaining.

That said, a few things are non-negotiable for me: basil, potatoes, and good olives. Everything else is up to you.
