There’s chemistry involved every time we cook, and our ultimate goal is to Student-Proof our recipes so no one has to do any guesswork. All of our recipes include supplemental information about the science of what you’re trying to make, explained in a way anyone could understand.
30-Minute Pasta Carbonara
The beauty of a good carbonara is in it's simplicity. Luckily for us, that makes it the perfect midweek meal! With only 6 ingredients(including salt & pasta!), it packs a bunch without being expensive. It's hearty and cozy while still somehow remaining light. This meal takes only half an hour from start to finish and only uses 1 pan! What more could you ask for?
Lemony Chickpea & Sundried Tomato Pesto Pasta
This AWESOME pesto pasta recipe brings in the best of summer by incorporating not only basil, but lemon and sun dried tomatoes! These crispy lemony chickpeas help give it some crunch and lift the dish to keep it from feeling heavy. It has everything you need to keep you going all day. And the best part? It only takes 45 minutes (which is mostly just boiling water) and only uses 2 dishes!
