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.

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.
