Recipe information

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups water

Stir sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 3 minutes. Cool syrup, then cover and chill until cold, about 2 hours. (Will keep up to a month in the refrigerator.)

We’ve got baked cheddar and leek pasta, maple-mustard sheet-pan salmon, and a strawberry shortcake roll.

The golden, crunchy corners are worth fighting over.

Keep this easy frittata recipe on hand for quick breakfasts, impressive brunches, and fridge clean-out meals.

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Like spicy carrot rigatoni and weeknight-fancy ravioli with peas.

A veg-forward main or gets-along-with-everyone side.

Thinly sliced and cooked hot and fast, pork tenderloin is the juicy, cook-quicking weeknight champion of this vegetable-heavy stir-fry.

Not stuffed shells. But not not stuffed shells either.
