Simply Satisfying Recipes

Ward off the continuing chill this week with an easy, weeknight-ready supper inspired by the hearty flavors of Italy: Fresh rigatoni pasta tossed with beautiful baby kale, organic Italian sausage, locally-crafted Asiago Pressa cheese and dash of Porcini salt, plus rustic Italian bread and a fun Spanish red wine to go alongside salad-ready winter greens and side-dish-worthy produce like carrots, parsnips and leeks. Farm-fresh eggs, Cara Cara oranges, and lemon-kissed amaretti cookies add to the appeal to this comforting box, as does an herb selection that includes ultra-fragrant basil and dill—enjoy!
