Tortellini in Brodo

Serves 4

This recipe is an Italian classic that will warm you up inside (Brodo means "broth")!

Ingredients

  • 3 quarts chicken stock

  • 2 bags fresh spinach (10 ounces each)

  • 2 bags frozen cheese-filled tortellini

  • A handful of flat leaf parsley leaves

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • A couple handfuls of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

  • A loaf of crusty bread

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring stock up to a boil. Ask a grown-up helper (GH) for help using the stove if you need it. Drop in the frozen tortellini. Give it a stir and cook according to package directions.
  2. When tortellini are done and look like puffed up pillows, ladle them along with the stock into soup bowls. Add a few leaves of spinach into each bowl.

  3. Top with some lemon zest and a small handful of Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve with some crusty bread alongside.

Corn Fritters with Alex Guarnaschelli

Yields about 15-20 fritters

I could eat corn every day in one form or another. This is recent addition to my repertoire. A few notes: I like to make the batter and drop a little bit in the hot oil, fry and taste it to see if I want to add more salt, sugar or cayenne…Like a test run. Season the corn itself by tossing the kernels in a little salt and brown sugar so it has a lot of flavor itself…If using frozen or canned corn, drain of all excess liquid before seasoning and mixing into batter. If cooking fresh corn, cut the corn off the cob and cook in 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then cool and drain of any excess liquid.
