Pasta Night Recipes

Rich with comforting flavors, yet bright with summery ingredients, this week’s Italian-themed box is equally fit for a grand feast, or an intimate meal for two. Have fun experimenting in the kitchen with the provisions for pasta night—locally-crafted bucatini, organic Italian sausage, and our homemade garlic bread—plus, gorgeous garden favorites like artichokes, carrots, tomatoes, and green beans. Inside you’ll also find: A fragrant herb bundle, Bellsong Creamery fromage blanc, organic salad greens, classic-style biscotti, and farm-fresh eggs. Mangia!

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

Italian-Stuffed Artichokes
Our Nonna Pat’s favorite way to serve artichokes!

Grilled Artichokes
Cracked pepper and a subtle lemon flavor perfectly accent these beautiful grilled artichokes.

Carrots Marinated with Garlic & Oregano
This room-temperature dish packs in the flavor and makes for a lovely, make-ahead side dish.

Stewed Green Beans with Tomatoes
Braising the beans lends them a beautiful texture!

Green Bean Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
Tossed with a Dijon mustard and sherry vinaigrette, these beans boast bright, zesty flavor.

Grilled Heirloom Tomato Vinaigrette
In addition to salad greens, this bright and robust dressing is wonderful tossed with pasta, or drizzled over steamed or grilled artichokes.
