Heidi calls this recipe “Straw and Hay Fettuccine Tangle, with Spring Asparagus Purée” in her book, a nod to the mixing up of different colors of noodles. The asparagus pesto would work with any pasta or even as a sauce for pizza or potatoes....

Honestly it’s hard to go wrong given that we are smothering lightly steamed cauliflower in a cheesy Gruyere and leek béchamel, and baking it topped with butter toasted fresh breadcrumbs....

In my house, we like to eat quesadillas for breakfast (eggs and black beans and cheese; sometimes avocado if I have one that wants to cooperate) and lunch (black beans and cheese) and, of course, dinner. In the case of dinner, almost anything goes, and more often than not, it’s a fridge-and-pantry clearing exercise. One of my favorite combos is black beans and avocado. I almost always have a can of black beans in the pantry and tortillas in the fridge....
