Spring may be on the horizon but it’s not quite on our doorstep. So I’m still in comfort mode. And today’s Salisbury Meatball Orzo Skillet is my current favorite cozy indulgence.

February is my least favorite month, so I am on a mission to pack it full of comfort food. It’s just the only way to make it bearable. Especially since we haven’t had a lot of snow this winter. So skiing, snowshoeing, and even snow angels have been off of the menu. Finding joy in winter has always been hard for me. But I have found that a pot or pan of something delicious simmering away on a cold day has never failed to make me smile. So today I bring you my most recent simmering something – this Creamy Gorgonzola Gnocchi. This dish features chubby gnocchi luxuriating in a silky gorgonzola cream sauce accented with tarragon and kissed with honey. This dish is one for the ages and it only takes 30 minutes to make, so let’s dive right in.

Some days you need a light lift, a gimme – a meal that you can make with half a brain and half an hour. And, in my experience, there is a disproportionate amount of those days in January. I find it so strange that we associate this month with fresh starts. It’s the darkest, coldest month of the year. Hibernation should reign supreme, not gym memberships and lofty career goals.  I will not be doing anything more than surviving and I invite you to join me. And today’s Creamy Lemon Dill Egg Noodles will help you do just that. This dead simple sharp and tangy pasta dish delivers carb-tastic bliss in 30 minutes flat.

I’m going to level with you, these Pumpkin Bocconcini Agnolotti are a straight-up project. I submit them as a meatless holiday feast option with one simple caveat: you must make them only for your nearest and dearest. This is not a meal you make for a crowd and it is not something you make for people you want to impress. Stuffed pasta does not respond well to pressure. But if you’re having a few pals by for Christmas Eve or hosting your immediate family for an intimate holiday dinner, these divine little pillows are the perfect special dinner option. After all, nothing says “I love you” like hand-formed pasta. Particularly stuffed hand-formed pasta. So let’s get into it!
