Main
Rigatoni with Cauliflower and Tomato Sauce
To vary this flavorful dish, serve the sauce over another kind of pasta or brown rice.
Pasta with Kale and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Feta cheese lends a little pungent punch and complements the sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes in this colorful entrée for five or side dish for a crowd.
Tilapia with Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Tilapia, a farm-raised fish, has a very delicate flavor, similar to that of sole. In this recipe, tilapia combines superbly with white wine, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke hearts for a dish fit for almost any occasion.
Oven-Roasted Vegetables and Pasta
Roasting vegetables usually takes 45 minutes or longer. The technique we use here takes only 15 minutes, yet provides excellent slow-roasted flavor. For a change, omit the pasta and serve the vegetables as a side dish.
Rosemary Peas and Pasta
Rosemary and two kinds of pepper ramp up the flavor of this tempting, inexpensive entrée.
Pan-Seared Tilapia with Fresh Fruit Salsa
A colorful trio of fresh fruits, coupled with the spiciness of jalapeño pepper, enlivens the flavor of mild tilapia.
Portuguese Fish Fillets
Green spinach and red tomato contrast handsomely with white-flesh fillets in this dish. Microwave potatoes to round out the meal.
Sole Mozzarella
To prepare this Italian specialty with a fraction of the usual saturated fat and cholesterol, just use egg substitute and low-fat mozzarella cheese. It’s as simple as that.
Pasta with Italian Vegetables
With its Old World flavors and tempting aroma, this versatile dish is a big hit at potluck suppers. Depending on whether you use the main recipe or one of the variations, you can create an entrée, a one-dish meal, or a side dish from the same basic ingredients
Citrus Sole
Orange marmalade brings a completely different taste to an already wonderful combination of seafood and citrus juices.
Pita Pizzas
Pita bread is the perfect starter for a healthful thin-crust pizza. Then use the toppings listed here or substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli, artichokes, and spinach. It’s as much fun to put the pizzas together as it is to eat them.
Scrod Veracruz
Some like it hot, so here’s the perfect spicy fish dish. While it bakes, you’ll have time to prepare corn on the cob and steamed zucchini.
Portobello Pizzas with Peppery Greens
No kneading or rising time is required for this mushroom-based pizza. Place it on a bed of arugula and watercress flavored with a feta dressing, and serve as they do in Europe—with a knife and fork.
Portobello Sandwiches with Zesty Red Onions
Layers of mushroom slices, red bell peppers, and cheese, all seasoned with a sweet-and-sour onion mixture, combine to create a unique sandwich.
Quinoa with Mixed Squash and Arugula
Lemon-tinged cream cheese tempers peppery arugula in this nutrition-packed entrée.
Salmon Sorrento
With its thick, colorful sauce, this dish provides a way to dress up salmon without covering up its natural flavor.
Honey-Mustard Salmon
This dish is elegant enough for company, quick enough for a “desperation dinner,” and convenient enough for any cook. You can put it together at the last minute or assemble it in the morning so it’s ready to cook when you are.
