Lemon-scented Carnaroli risotto with Parmesan, served with dill and Parmesan meatballs and a dill and basil pesto.

Busiate in a mascarpone sauce with crisped pancetta, baby bella mushrooms, kale and white wine. A weeknight pasta that eats like a Sunday one.

Four ingredients and no cream. Spaghetti, Pecorino Romano, toasted black pepper and starchy pasta water emulsified into a silky sauce.

One of the five French mother sauces: a brown roux built out with mirepoix, tomato paste, red wine and veal stock. The base for demi-glace.

Bechamel enriched with Gruyere and Parmesan. The sauce behind gratins, croque monsieur, and the best macaroni cheese you will make.

A bottle of red port reduced with shallots, mounted with butter and finished with carpaccio truffles. Made for steak or pork chops.

Chuck roast braised for twenty hours until it falls apart, folded through tomato sauce and served over pappardelle. Long on time, short on effort.

Ground beef cooked down slowly with soffritto and wine over at least two and a half hours. Better still if you make it the day before.

Busiate in a white truffle and porcini cream. A ten minute primo that tastes like it took far longer.
