Cheese

A raw creamed corn sauce takes the place of the traditional eggs in this silky, summer-fresh "carbonara."

Bursting with fresh corn and a hint of spice, these summery fritters take inspiration from the Southern classic shrimp and grits.

Sweet and smoky flavors make this quick and easy pizza a new favorite.

Creamy ricotta cheese, herby pesto, and roasted cherry tomatoes give these French bread pizzas bright flavor and a fresh look.

Forget the freezer aisle! This classic is just as easy to make from scratch. Bonus: it's tastier, too.

Oh, wait: Did we mention the prettiest cake in the display case also happens to be gluten-free? Eat at will!

Rather than pasta, this vegetarian version of the classic Southern Italian dish is tossed with spaghetti squash "noodles" for a delicious dinner that cooks entirely on just one sheet pan.

To serve these for brunch without waking up at the crack of dawn, make the dough the day before and chill overnight, wrapped in plastic. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.

A knife-and-fork situation, with plenty of crunch and gooey, melty textures going on.

Some say using a blender rather than a food processor results in a smoother puree. When combining pesto with pasta, Ligurians mix a small ladle of the cooking water into the pesto just before adding the noodles; this dilutes the concentrated sauce and helps it adhere to the pasta.

This Sunday sauce yields twice what you'll need, but it freezes beautifully; bank the extra and cash it in on another night.

This easy cheesecake is one part soufflé, one part custard, resulting in a lightly sweet and airy cake that is super simple to make.

This is one of those ingredient combinations that, like the Little Black Dress, always seems to be in style, and it's no wonder: earthy, sweet beets, sharp and creamy blue cheese, and bitter greens simply go together beautifully. Skillet-Toasted Quinoa provides additional texture and protein. Like Chimichurri, this vinaigrette's flavors grow more robust if allowed to sit at room temperature for at least 1 day.

Banish flashbacks of bland zucchini with this crunchy, cheesy, salty, citrusy salad.

Kick off the summer cooking season with a bright and bold steak salad dinner.
