Fresh homemade cannelloni are a cinch to make—all you need to do is cut, fill and roll! Piping the filling onto the pasta makes for a mess- and fuss-free assembly, but feel free to spoon on the filling if you don't have a piping bag on hand. Serve with a mixed green salad.
Stewing veal may be the one cut of veal that's economical. Serve this mushroomy Scandinavian stew with buttered noodles.
Serve with: Green salad. The best bets for vegetables with nutrients are the most colourful ones, such as spinach and tomatoes. Spinach is an excellent source of folate and lutein; tomatoes are rich in lycopene.
You can make this robust soup as spicy as you like depending on the kind of curry paste you use -- mild, medium or hot.
This saucy pork dish is company fare when served with buttered egg noodles and a medley of steamed asparagus, lima beans and peas.
Baking the dressing outside the turkey speeds up the roasting time and makes for easy serving from a casserole.
Using milk instead of whipping cream in the sauce cuts down on fat (plus, it’s less expensive!). To get a similar thickness to cream, we sprinkle in a bit of flour before the milk is added. Feel free to swap out the feta for crumbled goat cheese.
Don't have fusilli? Use another short pasta, such as penne or rotini.
Challenge: My husband, James, and I have to squeeze dinner between shifts — literally. James is an electronics engineering technician who works nights, so we're tight for time when I get home. It's important that we share a meal together. Solution: Pork tenderloins weigh about 12 oz (375 g), which is the ideal amount for three servings — two at suppertime and leftovers for James's lunch. James loves sauce, and here it serves to keep the meat moist when reheated in the office microwave.
