Parmesan rind and a kitchen sink’s worth of aromatics give heady flavor to this classic Italian recipe with cannellini beans and pasta.

The simple joy of vibrant beans cooked in fragrant broth with a splash of cream.

This riff on a classic cassoulet skips most of the exotic ingredients and elaborate preparation but still delivers deep rich flavor.

Smoked pork hocks don’t just add meatiness and body to this chile verde recipe; they release smoky, salty notes as they cook, seasoning the beans in the process.

Save the extra chicken-infused olive oil for all your roasted vegetable needs or to make this dish a second time.

Listen, this dish is indulgent and makes a bit more than two responsible adults should finish in one sitting. But for crying out loud, live a little. (And anyway, the kale keeps it virtuous.)

Make sure the butcher cuts the marrow bone in half for you.

Ask your butcher for a square piece of pork belly: It’ll make for even slices and a good fat-to-meat ratio.

How to pull off an elegant, effortless date night? Seafood soup. Make the broth for this rich seafood stew recipe the day before, then sear a couple pieces of fish and reheat the stew during the cocktail hour.

We love the color and texture you get from using a combination, but any single root vegetable can be used here, too.

If you’re not a lamb person, ground beef will also taste great.

The unsung hero of this dish? The nutty-sweet garlic.

To make this savory master pie dough without a food processor, use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour.

The chicken and leek meld together as they cook in the filling.

Treat this beef pot pie as a weekend project (quick it’s not) and your Sunday supper will be off the charts.

Like a fish shepherd’s pie; the zucchini helps thicken the filling, but disappears in the sauce.

Tosca's cocktails are so good people drink them well into the meal.

Think of this pasta from Tosca as a carbonara, but with tomatoes in place of the eggs.

We’re now obsessed with this snail-shaped pasta (which is made from scratch at Tosca).

Does Tosca’s roast chicken recipe take work? Yes, but the results—from the drippings-soaked sourdough toasts to the glossy pan sauce—are transcendent.
