25 Great Recipes—25 Finished-Food Photographs
You love the versatility and ease of pasta. Well, guess what? So do the French! In fact, they consume nearly as much pasta as Americans. Of course, the French bring their own hallmark flavors to pasta recipes, using great French cheeses, favorite French herbs, and up-to-date touches and techniques.
Collected here are 25 of our favorite cases in point, including:
• Quick, Any-Night Pasta for Spring and Summer: In-season ingredients team up for fresh and simple dishes such as Tagliatelle with Asparagus, Summer Tomato-Goat Cheese Pasta, and Pasta with Arugula Pesto and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes.
• Quick, Any-Night Pasta for Fall and Winter: When you crave something heartier, look for Pasta with Forest Mushrooms, Pasta with Sausage and Caramelized Onions, and Tagliatelle with Bacon and Gruyère.
• Baked Pasta: Enjoy comforting casseroles and pasta bakes, such as Cannelloni with Chicken, Asparagus, and Porcini or Baked Ziti with Cauliflower, Ham and Béchamel. And wait until you try our creamy French Lasagna!
• Pasta for Friends: Gather your favorite people around French Linguine with Scallops and Mussels, Tagliatelle with Smoked Salmon and Chives, or a robust Spicy Bolognese Francese.
We promise: No hard-to-find ingredients, no difficult techniques. After all, most French home cooks no longer spend all day in the kitchen—why should you? Whether you’re looking for something quick for the weeknight or something a little more glamorous to serve to friends, you’ll turn to these true-to-France recipes again and again.
