This is one of those Trader Joe’s dinners that barely feels like cooking but somehow still tastes like something you ordered at a restaurant. The Calabrian Chili Spicy Pasta Sauce has a creamy tomato base with a little heat to it, and once it coats the pappardelle it turns into a really solid weeknight pasta situation.

I have really been into braised beef lately, especially recipes where the meat is the main event instead of getting buried under a heavy sauce. This version cooks low and slow with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and beef broth until it becomes fall-apart tender. The outside gets deeply browned while the inside stays rich and juicy.

This creamy kale and sun-dried tomato pasta is the kind of dish that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. It’s garlicky, savory, a little tangy from the sun-dried tomatoes, and rich with cream and parmesan.

This recipe is reminiscent of the weeknight dinners I grew up on — angel hair pasta twirled through jarred red sauce, topped with sizzling pan-fried meatballs, and finished with a snowstorm of grated parmesan.

Chicken Francaise is a delightful Italian-American dish that's sure to impress with its lemony, buttery flavors. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion!
