Veggie Chicken Rice Casserole
Chicken Casserole with rice and veggies - easy to prepare. Great to use with leftover chicken. My family says it has a flavor similar to chicken pot pie.
Pasta Alla Caponata
Chef John's pasta alla caponata turns a famously delicious Sicilian vegetable relish, caponata, into a fabulously delicious pasta sauce. With eggplant, capers, and pine nuts in a rich tomato sauce, this pasta dish is incredible. If you have leftovers—and you probably won't—it makes a great cold summer pasta salad, too, with just an added splash of olive oil.
Chef John's Baked Acorn Squash
I like how this baked acorn squash recipe tastes, but scoring the squash with a knife before baking really makes for a great presentation. It also allows the simple but delicious glaze to penetrate nice and deep.
