Tomato, Sausage and Pecorino Rigatoni (Pasta Alla Zozzona)
This recipe alone combines four Italian pasta classics: cacio e pepe for its peppery kick, gricia for the guanciale, carbonara for the eggs and pecorino, and amatriciana for the tomato coulis. We even added sausage! Coat the rigatoni with the tomato coulis or sauce and a mix of egg and pecorino, for a rich and creamy sauce with a kick that breaks the monotony of everyday meals.

Salmon Rice in the Rice Cooker
For this recipe, apply the same principle by preparing everything in the rice cooker. Let the salmon, rice and edamame gently cook together in the appliance’s pot, and add plenty of flavour with a sauce made with soy and mirin. As for the nori seaweed, mix it into the rice for a Japanese touch to this all-in-one weeknight meal.

Gluten-Free Pizza
With this gluten-free pizza recipe, you’ll get a crust that’s soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, like one made with wheat flour. Before adding your toppings, pre-bake the dough on a pizza stone until it starts to brown, because gluten-free dough takes a bit longer to cook due to its hydration level. Then, top it as desired and let it finish cooking in the oven, making sure the crust doesn’t get too soggy from the sauce and for moisture to escape, leaving it perfectly crisp.

Grilled Chicken with Corn and Peach Salad

Marinate the chicken thighs in a peach barbecue sauce made with ripe peaches for maximum flavour, and serve with a peach and grilled corn salad with ginger dressing. It’s a cheerful recipe perfect for celebrating summer.

Deep Dish Tomato Pizza
Is it a tomato pie? A pizza? Thoughts may vary as to the correct term to use for a deep dish pizza, but what can be said is that it’s a dish that’ll surely impress everyone at the table. The dough is nothing like that of a traditional pizza; it’s a biscuit-like, low-moisture dough that doesn’t need a lot of time to rise. Coat the pan generously with oil, which practically fries the dough. Load with an impressive amount of provolone and havarti cheeses, which waterproof the dough, before adding the tomato sauce. Once cooked, treat yourself to a large slice of cheesy, gooey pizza.
