Stracciatella Soup (Italian Egg Drop Soup)

Stracciatella is a classic Roman soup made by whisking eggs, Parmesan, and a touch of nutmeg into hot broth, where they cook into soft, lacy egg ribbons. It feels special but couldn't be easier to make, and if you start with a good-quality store-bought broth, you can have it on the table in under 20 minutes.

Chicken Piccata
Plate of Chicken Piccata.

When it's 5:30 PM and I'm staring blankly into the fridge at a package of chicken breasts, this recipe often comes to the rescue. Crispy, golden cutlets in a buttery, lemony caper sauce—it's a quick weeknight dinner that makes everyone happy. Picky eaters can have their chicken plain, while the flavor lovers can enjoy it smothered in all that zesty, lemony goodness.

Garlicky Roasted Broccoli

This roasted broccoli might be one of the easiest side dishes I make, but it never tastes "easy." The florets get crisp and caramelized, the stems stay tender, and a sprinkle of garlic, Parm, and lemon brings everything to life. Perfect with chicken, salmon...anything, really.

Focaccia is perfect for feeding a crowd. The dough rises twice, then you dimple it with your fingertips so the olive oil can pool and soak in as it bakes. It uses about a cup of oil, which seems like a lot, but that's the secret to its incredible flavor.
