Italian Flag Baked Pasta
Each of the components of this easy baked pasta can have a life of its own. The turkey-tomato sauce is an excellent and quick meat sauce that's perfect for weeknight dinners. It's great on pasta or polenta or just eaten solo alongside a pile of cooked, garlicky greens. Feel free to substitute ground beef, pork, or chicken for the turkey (or leave the meat out entirely if you're vegetarian or want to be for this meal). The spinach mixture can be stirred into scrambled eggs, turned into a toast topping, or used as ravioli filling if you like making homemade pasta.

Julia Turshen · Small Victories: Recipes, Advice and Hundreds of Ideas for Home Cooking Triumphs
The main small victory here is having a really delicious, incredibly easy dessert up your sleeve. Plus, all you need is one baking dish and one bowl (and a couple of measuring devices). To save on cleanup, I melt the butter right in my measuring glass in the microwave and then just add the buttermilk to it (a very small victory, but a victory nonetheless). The cobbler topping could be used on top of any fruit mixture, and the topping itself can be varied - check out the Spin-Offs for more ideas. One final bit of advice: don't use a smaller baking dish (such as a pie plate) because the filling-topping ratio will be way off. If you don't have a 23-by-33cm (9-by-13in) baking dish, use the largest skillet you have, preferably one that's 30.5cm (12in) in diameter.
Caesar Spaghetti
Julia Turshen · What Goes With What
Okay, I love this recipe so much. You blend garlic, a tin of anchovies with their oil, lemon, olive oil, and Parmesan together, use it to dress your spaghetti, and top it all with parsley (and fried eggs, if you’d like). It’s all the elements of Caesar salad dressing combined with the joy of hot pasta. Don’t be shy with the black pepper!
