A weekend highlight was walking home from the Farmer’s Market in my neighborhood Saturday morning carrying a flat of strawberries with several bundles of asparagus and two bunches of the sweetest carrots you’ve ever tasted piled on top.
I know, I’m a produce geek. But Spring is here and fruits and vegetables are so fresh and tender, it requires little of the cook. With that in mind, I thought I’d share some of my seasonal favorites.
Everyday Roasted Asparagus with Meyer Lemon — This recipe is sure proof that you don’t need to do much to asparagus this time of year to make it delicious.
Bucatini with Peas and Pancetta — The three p’s — pasta, peas, and pancetta, are a magical combination, made a little less caloric here thanks to the folks at Cooking Light.
Strawberry, Arugula, and Feta Salad — So pretty and easy. The peppery greens are balanced just right by the addition of sweet berries.
Baked Farro Risotto with Asparagus — An easy and wholesome take on risotto that relies on farro instead of the traditional arborio rice. It’s done in the oven…so no endless stirring.
Berries as Cute as a Cupcake — Make these with strawberries today. Add in other berries as they arrive in the coming months.
What’s happening in your kitchen this Spring?
