Night!If you’re in the habit
of cooking pasta recipes
from the pages of this
magazine, you’ve by
now memorized certain
rules: Boil your noodles
in well-salted water,
save that pasta liquid
to make the glossiest
pan sauce, and always
pass extra grated parm
at the table. But when
was the last time you
thought to add a can of
creamy chickpeas to
orecchiette swimming in
a zippy garlic-tomato
broth, or blitz fresh chiles
into a spicy red (yes,
red!) pesto? The recipes
on the following pages
prove that even when it
comes to the most
familiar dinner of all,
there’s always a new
trick or two to learn.
Stainless-steel tongs
are nonnegotiable for
tossing long strands
of spaghetti in creamy
sauce (p.26).
