Be sure to serve with crusty bread to savor every last bit of the delicious sauce.

3. Spicy, Creamy Weeknight Bolognese

For those craving a comforting pasta dish without the need to dine out, this creamy Bolognese recipe is the perfect solution. Designed for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal, a touch of curry paste introduces a layer of intriguing complexity to the rich meat sauce. For those sensitive to spice, tomato paste offers a milder alternative. This recipe brings the taste of a restaurant classic to your home in a fraction of the time.

4. Narjissiya with Asparagus, Halloumi, and Sumac

Why reserve brunch for midday? This Narjissiya recipe by Reem Kassis makes a case for “brunch for dinner,” presenting a delightful springtime variation of an Arab-inspired dish.
