Ingredients

Broth for cooking fish:

1 1/4 cups defatted chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
3 black peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 slice of lime
1 pound cod, cut into 2-inch pieces

Broth for serving:

1 tablespoon each olive oil, minced ginger and minced garlic
5 cups defatted chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces angel-hair pasta, cooked
2 ripe medium-sized tomatoes, seeded and cut into 8 pieces each
1 head of broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets and blanched
4 scallions (3 inches of green left on), sliced on the diagonal, for garnish
4 thin lime slices
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or slivered basil, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Bring all fish broth ingredients except cod to a boil in a large skillet; reduce to a simmer. Add cod; simmer 7-8 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Gently remove cod to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve.

    Step 2

    2. Prepare serving broth: Place olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Add broth and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let steep, covered, 15 minutes longer. Strain the broth into another saucepan; set aside. Heat before serving.

    Step 3

    3. Arrange cod, pasta, tomatoes, and broccoli in a pinwheel fashion in each of 4 large bowls. Top each with 1 1/4 cups hot serving broth. Sprinkle with scallions. Place a lime slice in the center of each and garnish with parsley or basil. Serve immediately.

Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Spaghetti)
Spaghetti is a common variation in modern Thai cooking. It’s so easy to work with and absorbs the garlicky, spicy notes of pad kee mao well.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Green Curry Mussels
The mussels here add their beautiful, briny juices into the curry, which turn this into a stunning and spectacular dish.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Pasta Alla Mezcal
This marinara sauce is great tossed with any pasta for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that will leave you thinking, “Why didn’t anyone try this sooner?”
Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Gigante Beans With Seaweed Salmoriglio
Salmoriglio is a Mediterranean sauce with herbs, garlic, and olive oil. In this version, kelp is used as the base of the sauce.
