Spaghetti with My Mamas Meatballs
RECIPE COURTESY OF ROCCO DISPIRITO
Level: Easy
Total: 2 hr 30 min
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 2 hr
Yield: 4 adult lunch/dinner entrees (16 meatballs)
Ingredients
Olive oil cooking spray
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
Dried red chili flakes
1 cup fat-free reduced sodium chicken stock, such as College Inn Fat-Free Light Sodium
1 1/2 cups red pack tomato puree
1 1/2 cups red pack diced tomatoes
1/2 medium eggplant, halved lengthwise
Salt
6 ounces lean ground turkey breast, such as Jennie-O
4 ounces 94-percent fat-free ground beef sirloin, such as Laura’s Lean 94-percent
2 ounces extra-lean ground pork, such as Farmer John’s
1 egg white
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 cups puffed kamut
6 ounces 100-percent kamut spaghetti
Directions
Spray a large saucepan with 4 sprays of olive oil spray. Add half the garlic and half the onion and a pinch of red chili flakes and cook over medium heat until tender, about 2 minutes. Add half the chicken stock, tomato puree and diced tomatoes and simmer over low heat for an hour.
Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, using the tip of a knife, score the eggplant deeply and sprinkle with salt. Place the eggplant cut-side up and cook under the broiler until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the broiler and place on a plate and microwave on high until tender, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, add the meats and mix gently to incorporate. Place the egg white, remaining chicken stock, onion, garlic and parsley in the beaker of a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the mixture to the bowl with the meats, add the cheese and crumble the kamut in with your fingers. Sprinkle with salt and chili flakes.
Scoop the eggplant pulp out of its skin and let any excess water drip off. Measure out 1/2 cup of the pulp, and then lightly chop and add to the meat mixture, folding in to incorporate. With the use of a tablespoon, measure out 16 even heaping mounds on to a clean work surface and then form into balls with your hands.
Spray a large nonstick saute pan with 4 sprays of olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add half of the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 1 minute. Roll the meatballs on the other side and brown evenly, about 2 minutes. Remove the browned meatballs from the pan and then spray the pan with 4 more sprays and repeat the browning with the rest of the meatballs. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer very slowly for an hour.
Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of water to a simmer and then add 1 tablespoon of salt. Drop the pasta in the water and cook per manufacturer’s instructions. Place 4 meatballs each on 4 plates, and then add the spaghetti to the remaining sauce in the pan with 1/2 cup of the pasta water and cook until the sauce holds well on the pasta. Evenly distribute the pasta to each of the 4 plates.
Cook’s Note
Wet your hands with clean cold water while shaping the meatballs, it helps tremendously.

Kimbap
Recipe courtesy of Esther Choi
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr
Active: 1 hr
Yield: 8 kimbap (4 servings)
Ingredients
5 large eggs
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for the skillet
2 medium carrots, cut into julienne strips
One 5.3-ounce can Korean tuna or regular canned tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons Japanese-style mayonnaise, such as Kewpie
4 cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons sesame oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
8 full yaki nori sheets
4 slices American cheese
4 slices deli ham
1 English cucumber, cut into julienne strips
1 yellow pickled daikon, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
Directions
To prepare the filling, beat the eggs in a medium bowl with a pinch of salt. Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and a third of the beaten egg and cook until set, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until fully cooked, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Remove to a baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining beaten egg, adding additional vegetable oil if needed. When cool, cut the eggs into strips.
Add a little vegetable oil to the same skillet over high heat. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt and cook until just wilted but still slightly firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside on a plate to cool.
Mix together the tuna and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add the rice to a medium bowl and stir in the sesame oil, sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon salt.
To assemble the ham and cheese kimbap, lay a nori sheet on a clean cutting board and spread a thin layer of the seasoned rice over it (about 1/2 cup). Cut a slice of the American cheese in half and arrange the cheese in a row to form a thin rectangle. Place 1 slice of ham, 3 tablespoons each of the egg strips, carrots and cucumber and 1 strip of daikon on top of the cheese in this order. Roll the kimbap tightly and set aside. Repeat the same process using the remaining ham and American cheese to make 4 kimbap.
To assemble the tuna kimbap, repeat the steps above, but substitute one-quarter of the tuna mixture for the cheese and ham in each kimbap to make 4 additional kimbap.
Lightly brush the kimbap with sesame oil. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces and enjoy.
Cook’s Note: For ease of rolling, use a sushi mat.

Sausage and Wild Rice Hotdish
Recipe courtesy of Molly Yeh
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 20 min (includes cooling time)
Active: 40 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
Hotdish:
1 cup (180 grams) wild rice, rinsed well
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
8 ounces (226 grams) sweet Italian sausage, removed from the casings
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed
1 medium bunch kale (about 10 ounces/283 grams), stemmed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (360 grams) heavy cream
1 cup (240 grams) low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces (113 grams) fontina cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup (40 grams) grated Parmesan
1 sleeve salted butter crackers, processed into breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, for garnish
Arugula Salad:
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups arugula
Directions
For the hotdish: Into a medium saucepan, add the rice and cover with 2 1/2 cups of water. Add the bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook over low heat, covered, until the rice is cooked through but still has a little bite, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain off excess water, discard the bay leaf and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage into smaller pieces and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the leeks to the skillet and cook until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if the pan is dry. Add the kale (or as much as will fit) and toss to coat in the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Allow the kale to cook down enough to add the remaining kale and continue to cook until wilted but still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage mixture to a large bowl.
Add the butter into the pan to melt. Add the flour and stir to make a paste. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the cream, whisking to thicken before adding more. Gradually add the chicken stock and season with nutmeg and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a gentle boil to thicken, about 1 minute. Stir in the wild rice and kale-sausage mixture. Sprinkle the fontina and Parmesan cheeses evenly over top. Mix the cracker crumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle all over the cheese to cover.
Bake in the oven until nicely browned and bubbly around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. (Note: depending on the variety of wild rice, you may need to cook longer.) Set aside to cool slightly for 10 minutes.
For the arugula salad: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss in the dressing until coated.
Garnish the hotdish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and serve with a simple arugula salad on the side. Leftover gratin will keep in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Fried chicken… made Tuscan-style with warm spices and fried herbs!
RECIPE 👇
Pollo Fritto
Recipe courtesy of Gabriele Bertaccini
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 50 min
Active: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces (legs split into drumsticks and thighs, breast halved plus wings), backbone reserved for stock
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Vegetable, peanut, canola or olive oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 large eggs, beaten
1 small bunch rosemary
1 bulb garlic, smashed
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Special equipment: a deep-fry thermometer; an instant-read thermometer
In a 1-gallon zip-close bag, combine the chicken, lemon juice, garlic, salt, a generous grinding of pepper, the cinnamon and nutmeg. Seal the bag and shake to combine thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
When ready to fry the chicken, fill a wok, Dutch oven or large cast-iron skillet with about 1 1/2 inches of oil and heat the oil until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Place the flour and cornstarch in a wide, shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place the eggs in another wide bowl.
Drain the chicken pieces. Mix the flour and cornstarch in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg to coat. Let excess egg drizzle off. Dredge again in flour and add to the hot oil; the oil temperature will drop. Fry the chicken, turning the pieces occasionally and maintaining an oil temperature between 325 and 350 degrees F, until the chicken is golden brown outside and the pieces register an internal temperature of 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes. About 5 minutes before the chicken is done frying, add the rosemary and garlic to the oil.
Transfer the fried chicken pieces and fried rosemary and garlic to a pan lined with paper towels to drain, then transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Allow the chicken to rest and for the internal temperature to rise to 165 degrees F, then allow to rest for a full 3 minutes longer. Serve the chicken along with the fried rosemary and garlic and lemon wedges. Alternatively, allow to the chicken pieces to cool to room temperature, then re-fry in hot oil until heated through just before serving.
