You'll be amazed at what a little vodka does to draw out flavors in this simple tomato cream sauce! "I had a similar dish in a nice restaurant and wanted to try to make it at home," says bglowacz.

"Homemade meatballs are very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple," says Chef John. "Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk." Or if you prefer, try Chef John's meatless meatballs made with mushrooms!

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Not only delicious, this classic recipe is also ridiculously quick and easy to make. And it requires just a handful of common pantry ingredients: garlic, olive oil, fresh parsley, and Parmesan cheese. "No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method," says Chef John. "The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor, and if it's too dark it gets bitter." Watch the video to see how Chef John gets it done just right.

Here's a great choice for Sunday dinner, Italian style. You'll stuff a whole roasting chicken with onion and fresh rosemary for a simple baked chicken, just like the ones in Italian markets. "When I was in Vicenza, Italy at an open market downtown, I smelled this scrumptious smell of roast chicken at this stand," says LILQUIZ.
