43 Rainy Day Recipes for Summer
Even summer sees chilly days, often accompanied by overcast or rainy skies that call for cozy days spent inside. This time of the year though, "cozy" is more of a mental thing than a physical thing. So we're turning to light and fresh yet comforting rainy day recipes like pastas, pizzas, salads, and of course, desserts. And, yes—you can still enjoy them all with a glass of rosé. It's summer, after all.

Our favorite and best method of making pasta—the same one the pros use in restaurants—is one in which the pasta finishes cooking in a glossy sauce made by emulsifying cheese into the pasta cooking liquid. It’s so easy and good it might change your life (or if not your entire life, then definitely your weeknight pasta game).

It’ll take a couple of hours to make the homemade broth and cook a whole chicken (your house will smell amazing) for this soup recipe. If you’ve had a long day, use 2 quarts store-bought broth and shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken. Whatever method you choose, use the chicken breasts to make this amazing salad with crispy rice.
