Pasta Cacio e Pepe

This iconic pasta is a minimalist recipe — flavored with just butter, salt, cracked pepper, and Pecorino cheese. It’s perfect for a quick, unfussy supper.

Ingredients:

¾ pound linguine
1 cup grated pecorino cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons coarsely ground smoked or regular peppercorns
salt

Direction

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 2/3 cup of the cooking water; return the pasta to the pot. Add the cheese, butter, pepper and cooking water and toss. Season with salt and serve.

Smoked Chicken with White Barbecue Sauce

This pairing is classic Alabama. Pile any leftovers on toasted white bread with fried green tomatoes.

Grill Roasted Chicken with Crushed Fingerling Potatoes and Shallot Vinaigrette

Crushed juniper berries combine with garlic and herbs to perfume this smoky chicken that makes for a stunning centerpiece for a leisurely lunch with good company. For a shortcut, substitute quality rotisserie or smoked chickens; simply cover with foil and reheat in a 200°F oven before carving and serving. Either way, smothering the chicken and crushed potatoes with a classic shallot vinaigrette means every plate will be wiped clean.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

These garlic Parmesan chicken skewers are like Domino's Parmesan bread bites, but in chicken form. With 3 simple ingredients—melted butter, Parmesan, and garlic powder—and grilled until golden brown, you’ll keep coming back for more. Top with red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
