Ingredients
  1. 8 ounces whole-wheat elbow pasta
  2. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  3. 2 medium shallots, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  4. 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  5. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  6. 1/2 cup skim milk
  7. 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  8. 1 cup lightly packed shredded part-skim mozzarella
  9. 2/3 cup lightly packed shredded low-fat Swiss cheese
  10. 1/4 cup lightly packed grated Parmesan
  11. One 6-ounce bag baby spinach (about 6 heaping cups)
  12. One 9-ounce box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and roughly chopped
  13. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Special equipment: a broiler-safe 2-quart baking dish
  2. Position an oven rack at the center of the oven, and preheat the broiler.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water; strain the pasta.
  4. Wipe out the pot. Add the butter, and melt over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, and whisk constantly until it begins to toast, about 2 minutes. (The flour will form a thick paste, but that's okay; just keep it moving in the pot.) Whisk in the milk and the reserved pasta water, and whisk constantly until the mixture is thick like gravy, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the sour cream, 2/3 cup of the mozzarella, the Swiss cheese and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Once the cheeses have melted, add the spinach, and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in the artichoke hearts, pasta, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a broiler-safe 2-quart baking dish.
  5. Stir together the remaining 1/3 cup mozzarella and 3 tablespoons Parmesan in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pasta. Broil until golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes.

Ingredients
  1. ¾ cups extra-virgin olive oil
  2. ¼ pound unsalted butter
  3. 1 whole head of garlic, or at least 10 cloves, peeled, sliced thin across the grain
  4. Good quality salt
  5. 1 pound dried spaghetti
  6. 4 teaspoons of chile flakes
  7. A generous 1/2 cup of grated pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano
  8. Many, many cranks of the pepper mill
Instructions
  1. Bring large pot of water to a boil. When water simmers and is about to break to a roiling boil, place a 10-inch deep-sided sauté pan on low heat.
  2. Add the olive oil and butter and sliced garlic to the pan and let the butter melt, as the garlic begins to warm through. When the pasta water gets roiling, add salt to taste. (As always, like seawater.) Add the dry spaghetti. Add chile flakes to the warming garlic-oil mixture and swirl the pan a bit.
  3. Stir the spaghetti and make sure it is cooking evenly and the strands are separated. Swirl the garlic-chile-oil pan smoothly and frequently, and let the garlic soften and start to turn golden as the butter starts to foam and the chile blooms its heat and color into the oil. (On my stove, the burners run quite hot, so I keep it on low the whole time, but if your home burner is weak and you are not getting any foaming or toasting of the garlic by now, tap the heat up a half-step.) At 8 minutes, pull the pasta from the boiling water with tongs, let it briefly drip its excess water above the pasta pot, but then place it right into the garlic-chile-oil pan, letting the last drips of water go right into the sauce.
  4. Turn up the heat under the pasta now and stir vigorously, also tossing the pasta with short sturdy flicks of your wrist, for just about a minute, listening to the water hiss a little as it evaporates in the oil.
  5. Turn off the heat, add cheese and a lot of black pepper. Toss and distribute all the garlic and the cheese and the chile flakes using two forks like you are tossing a salad, making sure every bit is coated and luscious and on the edge even of greasy. (The amount of salt that I put in the pasta water, combined with the salt of the cheese, is enough for us. If you feel it needs it, season with a little more salt, according to your tastes.) Serve immediately.

Ingredients
  1. 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  2. 4 peaches, washed, halved and pitted
  3. ¼ cup honey
  4. ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  6. 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  7. 1-2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or aged balsamic vinegar
Instructions
  1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and turn the broiler to high.
  2. Butter a broiler-safe 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place peach halves cut side down in the dish. Broil until browned in spots, about 3 minutes, watching carefully to keep them from burning. Turn each peach over and drizzle with the melted butter and the honey. Sprinkle with the black pepper. Broil until browned and bubbling, about 4 to 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the thyme.
  3. If serving as a dessert, scoop ice cream into bowl. Divide the peaches and the pan juices over the ice cream. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
  4. You can also serve this as a side dish to grilled pork, chicken or fish minus without the ice cream.
I made this on the grill (no baking dish)
  1. • Cook face-down on indirect heat for 8 minutes
  2. • Flip over and drizzle with honey
  3. • Grill for a few more minutes.
  4. • Skip the balsamic glaze and serve with vanilla bean ice cream
