These pitas stuffed with herb-flecked turkey meatballs and dolloped with tangy tzatziki come together in about 30 minutes so they're perfect for weeknight dinners.

Recipe notes

Halloumi Lasagna

Berberger Pasta

This comforting cheeseburger-inspired pasta from Kiano Moju is bolstered by berbere spice.

Spinach Ramen Gratin

Heavenly Halva Cake

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!

A quick-fix dinner thanks to store-bought tortellini and chicken broth.

Brussels Sprouts Latkes

Who says latkes have to be potato? Brussels bring a delicious cruciferousness.
