5 Simple Rigatoni Pesto Secrets That Will Change Your Dinner Game
July 27, 2025
Here’s something I never thought about before – pasta shapes actually matter. Rigatoni pesto works so well because of those little tubes and ridges.

Better, but not great. But rigatoni? Every single bite was packed with flavor.

July 26, 2025
Here’s the thing—I almost never shared that recipe. Five years ago, I was convinced I’d never master baked rigatoni. Every attempt ended in disappointment. Too dry, too soggy, burnt on top, raw in the middle. I was ready to accept that some people just aren’t pasta casserole people.
The $32 Pasta That Changed Everything: My Quest to Master Spicy Rigatoni
July 25, 2025
Here’s what I’ve learned after months of trial and error: spicy rigatoni appears deceptively simple on paper. Pasta, cream, tomatoes, chilis. How hard could it be? (Famous last words, right?) The devil, as they say, lives in the details—and in this case, the devil lives specifically in the timing, the quality of your Calabrian chilis, and something I initially overlooked entirely: the art of proper onion caramelization. Perfect spicy rigatoni demands respect for each component.

July 24, 2025
Picture this: It’s 2022, post-pandemic dinner parties are back, and I’m desperately trying to prove I’m not just another millennial who survives on DoorDash and existential dread. My husband Marco (yes, really – I married into an Italian family, the pressure is REAL) had been bragging about my “amazing” cooking to his mom for months. The thing is, my “amazing” cooking repertoire consisted of exactly three dishes, and rigatoni pomodoro was about to be attempt number four.

When Lamb Shakshuka Became My Unexpected Obsession (And How I Almost Ruined It)
July 22, 2025

My perfected lamb shakshuka technique creates eggs that nestle into this incredible sauce like they were meant to be there, and when you break that golden yolk… chef’s kiss.
