I’m obsessed with mascarpone cheese, so I’m always drawn to any recipe that contains it, but it’s a no-brainer for me when it’s right in the title.  I watched Giada De Laurentiis make this on her cooking show; she featured it on a special in which she cooked for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and served this lasagna.  If it’s good enough for them, it will certainly do for little old me!  I added the burst cherry tomatoes for a nice contrast to the richness of the lasagnas.  You can definitely serve this as a traditional lasagna, but you will soon learn about me that I have a slight obsession with anything in miniature or individual servings.  You will need six 10-ounce oven-safe ramekins if you want to make them as written in the recipe.

Description

Cute, mini lasagnas full of sweet corn, basil and cheese make the perfect individual package for a dinner party (or any dinner!).  Top with burst cherry tomatoes to cut through some of the richness and give a burst of freshness.


Ingredients

Scale

MINI LASAGNAS: 

  • 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 12 lasagna sheets (cook a few extra in case some tear)
  • 3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) Pecorino Romano, finely grated plus 1/2 cup reserved to top lasagnas
  • 1 large lemon, zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup packed chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Provolone
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

BURST TOMATOES:

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Butter the six 10-ounce ramekins and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.  Generously salt the water and drizzle a little olive oil into the water.  Add the lasagna sheets and boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they don’t stick together.  Drain.  Place two sheets of lasagna noodles in an “X” fashion in each ramekin, allowing excess pasta to hang over the side.
  3. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cream, mascarpone and corn kernels and blend until combined, yet still chunky.  Add the garlic, 1 cup Pecorino, lemon zest, basil, salt and pepper and pulse several times to combine.  Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as necessary.  Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into the bottom of each ramekin, on top of the overlapped noodles.  Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Provolone.  Fold the two opposite overhanging pieces of pasta over the filling and press down lightly.  Add another 1/4 cup of the filling to the top of the noodles and top with another 2 tablespoons of Provolone.  Fold the remaining two opposite pieces of pasta over the filling and press down lightly again.  Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling on top of the lasagna and sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the reserved Pecorino on the top.  Drizzle with olive oil and a few grinds of pepper over the top.  Repeat with the remaining ramekins.
  4. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown and the lasagnas are bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes.  Cool for at least 15 minutes.  Run a paring knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the lasagnas.
  5. While the lasagnas are cooling, place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, until tomatoes just burst and begin to release some of their juice.
  6. To serve, place a small plate on top of the ramekins and flip to unmold the lasagnas.  Transfer right-side-up to the serving plates.  You can, of course, serve this right in the ramekins if you wish. Top with the burst tomatoes and a sprig of basil.

I love good food.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in late September? Am I out of my mind? Maybe. But hear me out. I found the best-looking squash blossoms I’ve ever come across at the farmer’s market on Saturday, and they were $5 for 3 big bunches and the sweet corn stand was still going on the corner, so you can’t expect me to pass that up. I’ve been waiting to recreate a dish I had at @monteverdechi in Chicago last month, so here we are…with a recipe…for squash blossoms…with sweet corn…in almost October.

I get it—it’s technically the end of squash blossom season, but if you’re lucky, you might still find a stash at your local farmers’ market or, dare I say it, a friendly neighbor’s garden (or your own?). Either way, if you can track some down, these Crab and Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms are worth the hunt. Trust me, you’ll want to savor every last bite of this seasonal gem. I can easily take down five or six of these.

Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound s Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound simple, but when done right, they pack a punch of flavor that’ll leave you wondering why you don’t make them more often. These Spicy Coconut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. Sure, they’ve got a few more ingredients than the quick weeknight dinner you might be looking for, but trust me, the payoff is huge. With layers of spicy green curry, creamy coconut, tangy pickled veggies, and two ridiculously good sauces, these wraps are a sensory experience in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s or you’ve fallen in love with the spicy, herb-packed flavors of Thai larb, this recipe is going to blow your mind (in the best way possible). 

Plus, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ingredient list, I’ve got tips on how to split this into a two-day cooking adventure—because let’s be real, no one wants to spend five hours in the kitchen on a weekday.

Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire tre Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire treat: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, perfectly toasted over an open flame, leaving your fingers sticky and your soul satisfied. But, sometimes, the outdoors isn’t calling or you want to make them on a larger scale, and making a bonfire in your kitchen is frowned upon. That’s where these S’mores Bars with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue come in. They’re a modern twist on a campfire classic. They’re a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, tailgates, and bake sales.

We’re taking all the nostalgic flavors of your childhood camping trips and leveling them up—big time. These bars start with a buttery graham cracker crust, are layered with fudgy brownie goodness, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with a cloud of toasted marshmallow meringue. And the best part? You can enjoy these babies without having to swat away a single mosquito. No joke—last time I had a bonfire and made s’mores, my cousin and I came away with over 50 mosquito bites collectively.

When it comes to dessert, I think that combining f When it comes to dessert, I think that combining fruit with a crispy, buttery topping and serving with vanilla ice cream is one of the most satisfying ways to enjoy the season’s best produce. But let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement. Enter: Salted Caramel Peach Crisp. The salty-sweet, slightly bitter caramel plays off the peaches so well. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet, juicy peaches and a rich, salty caramel sauce, all crowned with a crisp topping that’s just begging to be devoured.
