There’s incredible pasta, and there’s OK pasta. Even an objectively bland pasta is tasty in my eyes (er... belly). The most memorable pasta my taste buds regularly yearn for was served inside a Parmigiano Reggiano rind in Florence, Italy. And one of my favorite dinners, when I’m feeling run-down, is a slightly grown-up version of the beloved butter noodles of my childhood—add Parm and freshly cracked pepper, please!

If greige isn't already your favorite neutral color, it should be. This combination of gray and beige is taking over home decor and is the perfect addition to any color palette, from soft and subtle to bold and bright.

Produce washing is a topic our Test Kitchen gets countless questions about. You probably know that you should wash all produce items with skin that you plan to consume (plain water is A-OK!), and it’s wise to wash items that you’ll slice through the exterior to reach the flesh. That’s because when your knife slices through the surface and into the flesh of something like a melon, it could introduce bacteria hanging out on the rind inside.

Whether you prefer penne or fettuccine, a hearty plate of pasta with Alfredo sauce always hits the spot after a long day. Tasty as is or made more filling with steamed broccoli or strips of crispy breaded chicken, the star of this comforting dish is its rich, creamy sauce. Despite the fact that Olive Garden's signature Alfredo sauce used to be shrouded in secrecy, the savory stuff is generally straightforward in terms of its ingredients, which include butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings and herbs like parsley. However, it can still be deceptively difficult to get right. Besides flavor, of course, the sign of a restaurant-worthy cream sauce usually comes down to consistency; Alfredo sauce shouldn't be so thick that it's unappetizingly goopy or so thin that it can't cling to pasta properly.
