Spaghetti and meatballs
An Italian-American dish, spaghetti and meatballs is comfort food for generations. I’ve cooked it so many times but I have to admit that it’s only recently that I found the real secret to the best meatballs for this dish. Lighter and bouncier meatballs. Not overbearingly dense. That’s how I like them.

Chorizo and pesto rice
Got leftover rice? Asian fried rice is good but chorizo and pesto and rice is equally delightful. Easier to make too with fewer ingredients to prep especially if you keep a jar of pesto in your fridge regularly.
