If "cowboy spaghetti" makes you think more about spaghetti western movies than tonight's dinner, you wouldn't be alone. But like the movies, this is a recipe you won't soon forget. Cowboy spaghetti is like a much more smoky and savory spaghetti. This is really intended to be a fridge and pantry clean-out type of dish—throw in whatever produce you have (peppers, onions, celery) and canned goods (tomatoes, beans, and veggies). You can't go wrong.

It's Time To Give Cowboy Spaghetti A Twirl

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.

The Only Way To Thicken Alfredo Sauce According To A Chef

Weeknight dinners aren’t my strong suit. As much as I’d love to be a faithful Sunday night meal prepper or the kind of person who can look in their fridge and whip up something fresh and fabulous from various odds and ends, I’m not. I usually get home from a long day at work, followed by a seemingly even longer workout, and immediately start looking for ways not to cook. Would a bowl of cereal hold me over? How about a girl dinner with that leftover nub of cheese? I’m also not above a can of soup or frozen pizza.

This Under $2 Aldi Find Is A Staple Of My Weeknight Dinners

If you love cheese and garlic, try Platin’ It With Wendy‘s cheesy garlic bread! There is truly nothing better than the combination of cheese and garlic. Garlic, when baked in the oven, becomes sweet and soft, and when you combine it with butter and a bit of chili flakes, you make a delicious spread. It’s buttery and creamy with a hint of spiciness.

Cheesy Garlic Bread Recipe

Whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar in a bowl until combined and sugar and cornstarch are dissolved; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, tender-crisp, and onion is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not wipe skillet clean.

At least once a week I get a craving for pasta. Sometimes my family and I will head to our favorite Italian restaurant in town, but that can quickly get expensive. Instead, for just a few dollars a serving, I can make my own pasta dish for dinner instead. I love whipping up a rich, tomato sauce — it makes the house smell fantastic! The thing is, on weeknights, I don’t have a lot of time so I need a dish that’s easy. That was the inspiration for this chicken bolognese al Forno recipe. It takes just 20 minutes of prep time, so it’s perfect to cook up after work.

If you’re a lemon dessert person, prizing the zing of citrus over the richness of chocolate, then this might be the cake for you.

While yogurt and olive oil make the crumb extra tender and moist.

When you're working your way through a sinkful of dirty dishes for the third or fourth time in a day, it’s understandably tempting to scrape plates and everything else into the kitchen sink. After all, the sink is right there. Despite their tempting convenience, if you want your sink to last a lifetime—or at least avoid having the plumber on speed dial—it is best to keep drains for soap, water, and smaller food scraps.

Some like it smothered in a robust Bolognese or tossed with a simple fresh tomato sauce. Others like it swirled in a creamy spinach sauce or mixed with pungent garlic and anchovies.

Think twice before you wiggle into that new pair of jeans. I have a confession: Despite my practically compulsive need to use hand sanitizer after pumping gas, I often wear new clothes without washing them—especially if I have a fun outing planned the day the new duds land on my doorstep. Of course, I have my limits (linens, activewear, and the like all take a spin through the laundry before use), but generally, I’m not too precious about the preliminary wash cycle. If you, too, are in my camp and would like to continue to dwell here, you should probably stop reading now. We asked experts to weigh in, and they unanimously agreed: Washing before wearing is the move. Here’s the good, bad, and ugly of why you should be launder new clothes before you wear them.
