Your favorite TikTok pasta, now spiced to perfection.

Weeknight dinner can't get much easier—or tastier—thanks to these spiced beef tostadas.

Only 6 ingredients, and you'll always know when it's done.

This (almost) no-cook pasta is an ardent love letter to summer’s ripest tomatoes (and your box grater). 

This golden pasta inspired by the zesty, spicy flavors of Mexican street corn is luxuriously creamy—but doesn’t have a drop of cream.

This is the make-ahead salad of our dreams, with ribbons of creamy tofu skin,  crunchy summer vegetables, and a finger-licking-good hot mustard and honey dressing.

Quick-cooking pork chops get a leg up thanks to a speedy, sweet-and-salty pan sauce that feels a lot more dressed-up than it is.

With lots of crunchy green beans, caramelized lemon, toasted nuts, and creamy cheese, this is somewhere between a great pasta and a delicious salad.

Free yourself from the notion that lasagna is a weekend-only affair! This version is lighter, brighter, and faster than the baked casserole you’re used to.

Crisp, almost crunchy, tofu owes its caramelized exterior to one secret ingredient (*whispers* It’s sugar!).

Torta milanesa usually features chicken or pork; this vegetarian version swaps in thin-sliced eggplant, which goes crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Hit all the notes of a fully loaded bagel—complete with tangy yogurt taking the place of cream cheese—with this crispy fish cutlet.

This toast is loaded with bright aioli, punchy tomatoes, and smoky shrimp—it definitely requires a fork and knife.

This sweet-and-sour pork tenderloin is quick enough for weeknights but fancy enough for company.

Kimchi adds heft and crunch to the slaw, while a drizzle of the fermenting liquid acts as a punchy dressing—a perfect side for the crunchy pork. 

Tender beef and crunchy shishitos collide with a buttery, umami-rich sauce in this weeknight-friendly, less-than-30-minutes meal.

Thought there was no way to upgrade juicy, crispy cutlets? These thighs dredged in cheese crackers and paired with an herby ice-cold salad will change your mind. 

Cozy beans are just what you need to kickstart fall. Serve with crusty bread to soak up all the saucy bits.
