    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

    2. Cook the pasta according to the package directions minus two minutes (the pasta should be slightly undercooked).

    3. While the pasta is cooking, add the olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté until the onions turn clear, about 5 minutes.

    4. Add the spinach and no-salt seasoning and sauté until the spinach is wilted and soft, about 3 more minutes.

    5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, salt and ground black pepper until all the flour lumps are mixed in. Pour over the vegetables and bring to a boil. Stir in the tuna and pasta and pour into the prepared baking pan.

    6. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top of the casserole and bake for 15 minutes.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to broil. Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

    2. Cut the fish into 4 4-oz portions and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

    3. In a small bowl, mix together 1 1/2 Tsp. of sesame oil and the miso soup mix powder to form a paste. Brush the tops of each of the fish fillets with the glaze (coating will be very thin). Spray each fillet with cooking spray and place baking sheet on middle rack of the oven. Broil for 6 minutes.

    4. While the fish is broiling, add the remaining 1 1/2 Tsp. of sesame oil and more cooking spray to a wok or large saute pan over high heat. Stir fry the cabbage, garlic, snow peas and hot sauce for 4 minutes, until just wilted but still slightly crunchy.

    5. Remove fish from baking sheet and serve on top of 3/4 cup of the stir-fried vegetables.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tbsp of the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 2 tsp of the cornstarch. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
    2. In another bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 tbsp soy, the remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch, 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Set aside.
    3. Heat half the vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat. When hot, turn the heat to medium high and add the chicken. Stir fry for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (You do not need to continuously stir the chicken as you want the chicken to develop a crust and sear.) Remove the chicken from the wok to a plate and set aside.
    4. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add in the garlic and ginger and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add the red pepper, celery, and broccoli and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add the remaining chicken broth, cover, and steam 3 minutes.
    5. Add the chicken and stir fry for 1 minute. Add in the sauce and cook for 1 minute, coating the chicken and vegetables with the sauce. Serve immediately.

    How to Make Light And Fluffy Spinach And Cheese Strata

    Author Aviva Goldfarb: “It took me a few attempts, but I finally made the strata of my dreams. In case you aren’t familiar with it, strata is an Italian baked egg and bread dish. This is a great dish to serve at a brunch, especially because you can make it in advance, but it also makes a nice change for a family dinner. Serve with blueberries or blackberries.”

    15 min prep time


    50 min cook time


    8servings


    2 1/4 × 3 1/4-inch piece

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. DO AHEAD OR DELEGATE: Defrost the spinach, combine and refrigerate the eggs and the milk, shred the cheese, if necessary, and refrigerate, combine the dry seasonings, cube the bread, or fully assemble and refrigerate the strata.
    2. Defrost the spinach in the microwave or on the stovetop. Spray a 9 × 13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the bacon, if necessary.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk. Whisk in the cheeses, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the spinach, bacon (optional), and bread cubes until the bread is completely moistened. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, smoothing it with the back of a spoon, if necessary. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
    4. When you are ready to bake it, remove the strata from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake it in the center of the oven, uncovered, for 45–50 minutes until it is browned on the edges and cooked through in the center. Cut into squares to serve.
    5. SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: In the slow cooker, whisk together the eggs and the milk, then whisk in the cheeses, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the spinach, bacon, and bread cubes until the bread is completely moistened. Cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)

    Lemon-scented Shrimp (Gamberi Al Limone)

    How to Make Lemon-scented Shrimp (Gamberi Al Limone)

    Author Amy Riolo says, “All of the bodies of water that border Italy—from the Adriatic to the Ionian, Mediterranean, and Tyrrhenian seas—contain multiple varieties of shrimp, making shrimp popular everywhere. If you’ve never prepared shrimp before, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. In my seafood cooking classes, I often tell students that, if they’ve had bad luck making shrimp in the past, it’s because they’re doing too much, not too little. The key to preparing good shrimp is choosing the freshest shrimp possible and cooking them just until done—not a second longer. Baby, regular, and jumbo shrimp all work in this recipe, so feel free to use whatever is freshest.”

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2. When olive oil begins to release its aroma, add shrimp, salt, black pepper, and crushed red chile flakes. Cook shrimp on one side just until the tail of the shrimp is bright pink, approximately 1–2 minutes.
    3. Turn shrimp over and squeeze lemon juice over top. Cook shrimp until all gray color is gone and they are pink and cooked through, approximately 1–2 more minutes. At this point, shrimp should be coiled slightly tighter than when they were raw. Shrimp will continue to sizzle in the pan.
    4. When they are cooked completely through, transfer shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with lemon zest, and serve immediately.

    How to Make Lasagna Cupcakes

    Author Robyn Webb: “I’m not particularly fond of the massive cupcake trend that hit the nation not too long ago, but making lasagna into “cupcakes” is a movement I could get behind. When you want all the elements of lasagna in a low-calorie, very easy to serve way, my Lasagna Cupcakes fit the bill. These are great to bring to a party as they transport beautifully.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup standard muffin pan with cooking spray.
    2. Add one wonton wrapper to the bottom of each cup, pressing down into the center with the pointed ends set up.
    3. Mix together the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, egg, dried oregano, and black pepper. Add a scant tablespoon of the cheese mixture over the wonton wrapper. Lay a basil leaf on top of the cheese. Add a tablespoon of the marinara sauce over the basil leaf. Repeat all the layers one more time ending with sauce. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with Parmesan.
    4. Bake the lasagna muffins for 18-20 minutes until bubbly and browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around each cup to loosen. Remove from the pan and serve.
