Chef John's Ricotta Meatballs
These ricotta-spiked meatballs are so tender, so flavorful, and so delicious. There are hardly any ingredients. Throw them over some spaghetti for a hearty meal.
Mediterranean Meat Pies (Sfeeha)
This savory Lebanese meat pie recipe is a takeoff on one from my Lebanese mother-in-law (who is one of the very best cooks I know). She makes the dough from scratch, but I use puff pastry instead to save time. These little pies are great for an appetizer or as a side dish!
Thanksgiving Spinach Salad
I serve this Thanksgiving spinach salad every year for my family's dinner. The flavor of the apples and cinnamon make it great for the season. It's very quick and easy to prepare, too!
