Try Ina Garten's Linguine with Shrimp Scampi recipe from Food Network: It's loaded with garlicky shrimp, lemon and red pepper flakes for warmth.

Linguine with Shrimp Scampi

Vegetable oil

salt

linguine

garlic (4 cloves)

shrimp

black pepper

parsley leaves

lemon, zest grated

lemon juice (2 lemons)

lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds

red pepper flakes

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.

When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

Please don't put olive oil in the pasta water,there is no need ,sauce doesn't stick to the pasta.

Excellent just as it is, but a relative showed me how to make it even better: Marinate the shrimp in olive oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least an hour ahead of time.  Cook the shrimp on high heat in an uncrowded pan, turning once. Set shrimp aside where it will stay warm. Cook garlic as directed (it will burn on high heat). Toss all ingredients except the shrimp together. Serve and put shrimp on top.

I thought this dish was going to be too lemony, but it wasn't. The shrimp had such an amazing flavor that it complimented the lemon-tasting noodles. It's a very mild lemon taste, but again, the shrimp in the dish are the stars! Super good and pretty simple. My advice is get the shrimp ready, the parsley cut, the garlic minced, and the lemon juice and zest ready to go before you start boiling the water to the linguine. That way, when the pot first starts to boil, throw the oil and butter into the other skillet and get that going. This way everything is timed out just right! <div><br /></div><div>Thanks, Ina! I'm keeping this in my go-to pasta dishes! </div>

We have made this numerous times. Very quick to put together. <div><br /><div>Minor additions: We sauté minced onion, red bell pepper and sun dried tomatoes prior to sautéing the garlic. Looks good. Tastes good. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>

<div>Such a fun dish! I ended up cutting the lemon juice 1/8 cup and added 1 cup of parmesan but kept everything the same. It had the right amount of lemon for us personally at that point. Next time I will add a 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp and vegetable of some sort. It was a lot of pasta otherwise. Think it will be perfect then. </div><div><br /></div>

This is our FAVORITE pasta dish.  Light and very refreshing.  I butterflied the shrimp and topped with shredded parmesan at the end.  Divine!  If you find the sauce too runny, mix a little into a bit of cornstarch and add back into the sauce. This recipe is going into my historical family favorites file!  Could eat it every day!

If you follow the directions, you can't mess this up. Have everything prepped and ready, because it comes together very quickly once you start cooking. Absolutely delicious! There's no reason to order this when I'm out anymore. Restaurant scampi just doesn't compare!

I added a little bit of white wine while it was cooking, so delicious! 

Such a fabulous recipe!  Just suggested this to my husband for dinner tonight...needless to say, he's fired up!  Recipe is absolute perfection as is with one tiny exception of adding additional heat.  I add 1 1/2 tsp. of crushed red pepper as opposed to 1/8 tsp.  Other than that, it is just to die for!  Thanks, Ina, for a totally awesome always perfect recipe:)

Love this recipe, the only thing I do differently is that I take the shrimp shells and put them in a pot with white wine or chicken stock and water with some herbs, bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes and let it sit. Drain the liquids, throw out the shells and it to add to the linguini once the shrimp is added.  Yum

Sautéed Chicory recipe | Epicurious.com

chicory

garlic cloves, finely chopped

red-pepper flakes

Keep silky pasta carbonara from curdling by tossing the mixture in a mixing bowl set over a pot of boiling water.

Spaghetti With Carbonara Sauce Recipe

(450 grams) dried spaghetti (see note)

(45 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil, divided

eggs

Parmigiano-Reggiano

black pepper (ground medium-coarse),

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring, until al dente.

Meanwhile, combine guanciale (or pancetta or bacon) with 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil in a large skillet and cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat, until fat has rendered and guanciale is crisp, about 7 minutes. In a large metal heatproof mixing bowl, whisk together whole eggs and yolks, Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and black pepper.

Using tongs and/or a strainer, transfer pasta to skillet with crisped guanciale and its fat; be sure not to drain boiling pasta water. Add remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil to pasta and stir to combine; let cool slightly. Scrape pasta, pork, and all the fat into the egg mixture. Measure 1/2 cup (120ml) pasta-cooking water and add to pasta and egg mixture. Stir well to combine.

Set mixing bowl over pot of boiling pasta water (make sure bottom of bowl does not touch the water) and cook, stirring quickly with tongs, until sauce thickens to a creamy, silky consistency and leaves trails as you stir. Remove from heat, season with salt if needed, and divide into bowls. Serve right away, topping with more grated cheese and freshly ground pepper as desired.

We took a couple shortcuts for this traditional lasagna recipe by using store-bought marinara and boxed pasta sheets. It saves a ton of time without sacrificing any ﻿flavor. Make sure to follow these tips.

Classic Lasagna

lasagna noodles

extra-virgin olive oil,

beef

(32-0z.) jars marinara

whole milk ricotta

c. Parmesan, divided

parsley,

lb. sliced mozzarella

Found the measurements, and quantities were extremely off. Ended up throwing out a lot of noodles and having to make more meat and ran out of cheese slices even though we used 2lbs of cheese.

This recipe did not work out for me at all. The quantities were WAY off. For a start you need 2lb of beef.
For the mozzarella, I sliced fresh moz myself, which ended up beeing think and making it extra cheesy - better to buy sliced moz (slightly processed).
Finally, the whole milk ricotta mix was not easily spreadable at all... perhaps I used the worng broand or should have used the egg white as suggested in the other comments.

Great recipe! I used half ground beef/half hot Italian sausage.

I ended up only getting 2 full layers into my pan. I used 8 noodles and had a bunch of oily noodles leftover. I also didn't need 2 full pounds of mozzarella, but I'm sure we'll manage to eat that. Overall, easier recipe than any I've tried before. Very tasty.

My Family loved this recipe. I added the cinnamon the the meat mixture, which many Greek recipes call for (we are Greek) and it was wonderful. Even my daughter, who doesn’t like lasagna, ate some and said how good it was.

Actually when I moved to the south in  60s-70s you could not get Ricotta in grocery stores, so I did use cottage cheese with eggs added.  I worked quite well.  I now use Ricotta and also add the egg.

Fantastic. I made it in a 9x9 pan so halved the recipe (sorta). Added more cheese, because there is never enough for us :) Laid out noodles as you suggested and sprayed with olive oil. First time I haven’t had them tear. Made it so easy. Also the tip to under cooking lasagna was valuable. Used a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just perfect. My husband said you need to make this again.  I used Barilla marinara sauce.

I absolutely loved this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!

Turned out excellent. The only thing I did different was to divide it into two pans. One I froze, the second I baked after leaving in the fridge overnight. To answer one of the below questions, I then increased the 400• time to 30 minutes from 18-20.  Worked out great.

Loved the tip about adding the cinnamon! Delicious lasagna!

Sunday Dinner: No-Holds-Barred Lasagna Bolognese Recipe

For the Ragù Bolognese:

extra virgin olive oil

butter

ground lamb (or 85/15 ground beef)

pork

veal

chicken livers, finely chopped (optional)

large onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

carrots,

celery,

sage leaves, finely chopped

red pepper flakes (optional)

Italian plum tomatoes, preferably D.O.P. San Marzano

dry red wine (white works fine as well)

milk

stock (or 2 cups low-sodium canned chicken broth)

bay leaves

Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce

heavy cream

basil

For the Ricotta Mixture:

home-made fresh ricotta (see note), or 3 cups store-bought whole-milk cottage cheese

For the besciamella:

flour

dry whole milk mozzarella cheese, grated (see note)

nutmeg

To assemble:

For the Ragù Bolognese: Heat butter and olive oil in large Dutch Oven over high heat, stirring occasionally, until butter has stopped foaming. Add lamb, pork, veal, and chicken livers, and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer meat to strainer set in large bowl, allow to drain, then transfer drained liquid back to Dutch Oven. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, sage, and red pepper flakes, and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, but not browned, about 10 minutes.

Return meat to skillet, add tomatoes, wine, milk, stock, and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly below level of meat, about 2 quarts of sauce total (you may need to add excess stock while cooking if your burner is cooking it too hot). A layer of fat may form on top during cooking, but do not skim it off. After cooking, remove bay leaves, add fish sauce and heavy cream and simmer until fat is emulsified, about five minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in parsley and basil. Bolognese will keep for up to 1 week in fridge, and will improve with time. Reheat until warm before using in lasagna.

While the ragù is simmering, make the ricotta mixture. Place ricotta in bowl of food processor or stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment and process/mix until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add two eggs and minced herbs, and process/mix until incoroporated. Set aside at room temperature until ready to use.

Make the Besciamella: Heat butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat until foaming subsides, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Add flour and stir with whisk until light blond in color and slightly nutty aroma develops, about 1 minute. Add garlic, and stir to combine. Whisking constantly, add milk in steady stream until fully incorporated. Bring to a simmer (mixture should thicken). Remove heat, add cheese and nutmeg, and whisk until fully melted. Whisking constantly, return to a simmer, remove from heat, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.

Adjust oven racks to lower middle and lowest positions and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place lasagna noodles in 13- by 9-inch baking dish and cover with hot tap water (or boiled water) and allow to soak for 10 minutes, changing water once during soaking time. Drain in single layer on clean kitchen towels, or paper towels. Cover with second kitchen towel or paper towels and pat dry.

To Assemble: Add 1/6th of meat ragù (about 1 1/3 cups) to bottom of baking dish and drizzle with 1/2 cup besciamella. Place three noodles in single layer on top of sauce (noodles will not quite touch each other; this is okay). Top with 1/6 of meat sauce, 1/2 cup besciamella, 1/3 cup Parmigiano, and three more noodles. Spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture on top of noodles with rubber spatula, top with 1/6 of meat sauce, 1/3 cup parmigiano, and three more noodles. Top with 1/6 of meat sauce, 1/2 cup besciamella, 1/3 cup Parmigiano, and three more noodles. Spread remaining 1/2 of ricotta mixture on top of noodles with rubber spatula, top with 1/6 of meat sauce, 1/3 cup parmigiano, and three more noodles. Cover with remaining 1/6 of meat sauce, remaining besciamella (about 1 cup), and remaining 2/3 cup parmigiano. Baking dish should be very full at this point.

Place foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on lower rack to catch drips, then place lasagna on upper rack and bake until edges are starting to crisp, and top is a bubbly, golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating half way through baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs, and serve.

The secret to great polenta is to use the right ratio of liquid to cornmeal.

Smooth and Creamy Polenta Recipe

(5 ounces; 140 grams) medium or coarse cornmeal/polenta (see note)

(1 ounce; 30 grams) unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil

If Using the Presoaking Method: Combine water with cornmeal in a large mixing bowl and let stand, covered, at room temperature overnight. When ready to cook, scrape soaked cornmeal and water into a large saucier or saucepan and set over high heat. Continue with step 3.

If Using the Standard Method: Add water, milk, or stock to a large saucier or saucepan and set over high heat. Sprinkle in cornmeal while whisking (water does not have to be boiling).

Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Let boil, stirring frequently, until polenta thickens enough that it starts to spit. Lower heat immediately to prevent spitting and continue to cook, stirring frequently with a spoon or silicone spatula and scraping bottom to prevent scorching, until polenta becomes thick and pulls away from side of saucepan, about 30 minutes for presoaked cornmeal and 50 minutes for dry cornmeal. Season with salt.

Stir in butter or olive oil, using either a spoon, a silicone spatula, or a whisk. If polenta forms lumps, beat vigorously with a stiff whisk to remove. If polenta becomes too firm or begins to set, add a small amount of water, stock, or milk and beat in with a whisk until liquid is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

Serve right away with accompaniment of your choice, or scrape into a vessel and chill until set, then cut into pieces for grilling, searing, or frying.

Bobby Flay goes Italian with his recipe for mouthwatering Chicken Parmigiana, from Boy Meets Grill on Food Network. Try panko breadcrumbs for a lighter crust.

Chicken Parmigiana

boneless, skinless chicken breasts,

all-purpose flour,

eggs,

panko bread crumbs

vegetable oil oil

Tomato Sauce, recipe follows

mozzarella,

Fresh basil or parsley leaves,

Spanish onion, finely chopped

garlic, smashed

plum tomatoes

tomatoes

tomato paste

bay leaf

Italian parsley

Cubano chile pepper, chopped

Salt and pepper

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess, then dip in the egg and let excess drip off, then dredge on both sides in the bread crumbs.

Divide the oil between 2 large saute pans and heat over high heat until almost smoking. Add 2 chicken breasts to each pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with some Tomato Sauce, a few slices of the mozzarella, salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of Parmesan. Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil or parsley leaves.

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add pureed tomatoes with their juices, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, 1 cup water, bay leaf, parsley, Cubano pepper, and bring to a boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.

So I saw some people had trouble with the oven temp and frying. Sometimes a little common sense goes a long ways. The people writing cooking instructions are human and can make mistakes when giving instructions. When pan searing you always want your pan to be on med-high to high, you don't need the oil to smoke, at that point it's too hot. With any meat whether chicken or beef you should sear both sides for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You can usually tell on metal pans when it's too early to flip because the protein will be stuck to the pan, when it's completely seared it will unstick easily. When making this dish you really need to pound out your chicken to 1/2 an inch, so pretty thin. And if you go into any restaurant 400 degrees Fahrenheit is standard for finishing off proteins. So a thin piece of chicken that's already been seared will be done by 5 min in the oven. The oven part of this recipe is mostly to melt the cheese on top, not to cook, remember it's been pounded out thin and pan fried. I hope this is a little helpful.

Chicken parm is a no-brainer, flatten chicken breast, dredge, coat &amp; pre-fry. Sauce cheese and bake. I am left asking myself why did I go to this much trouble to make chicken parm with super runny sauce. Why add water to the sauce? Why no basil? This was an enormous effort to make sauce. In the end it tasted good but I can do better with less effort.

Easy, messy but fantastic. I see a lot of people saying the cook time is to short and I believe it is because they get full breasts. If you do( I do) you have to split the breast in half before pounding. Another tip is to cover the chicken with plastic wrap and put a towel over that before you flatten the breasts

OMG.  I am a good cook.  I love to cook and I make new recipes all the time.  It takes a LOT to impress me.  I am feeling guilty that I raised 3 kids and let then leave home without making this for them.  This is off the chart delicious.  Forget all the reviews about cooking time being off or anything else negative  This recipe is perfect!  The only change I made was just personal to add a little red wine and a pinch of sugar to the sauce and I did let it simmer for a few hours.  Just pound your chicken out really thin and you won't have any problem with it cooking in the prescribed time. The only problem with this recipe is that you can't stop eating it!  I need it to go away because I keep going back to the kitchen for another bite.  Delicious..... delicious.... so many wasted years without this recipe.  Just make it!

It looked impressive fresh from the oven, Chicken was crispy but moist inside. Overall taste did not impress maybe due to the brand of mozzarella used. Will try tweeking the tomato sauce next time for more Italian umph this recipe lacks.

The only time I am "required" to cook is Sunday dinner. This always gives me a chance to try different recipes. I had a craving for chicken parm, went to the Food Network and saw Bobby had a recipe. The southwest King cooking Italian, glad I tried the recipe!! Delicious easy to prep, overall sensational! Thanks Bobby Flay 

Easy to make and tasted great! I would add more seasoning next time to add some flavor

I've made this dish about four times know and I must say it is one of my favorite. Very flavorful and easy. Oh...and taste great!

This was over the top. Restaurant quality.  Easy to make.  

Chicken was crispy and awesome! Used jar sauce to save time. Used muster cheese instead of mozzarella. Amazing!
