It requires simple ingredients and minimal prep, but it still delivers rich, bold flavor. I shared a puttanesca recipe with zucchini noodles in Love & Lemons Every Day, but since this classic pasta is one of my weeknight favorites, I thought it was about time I shared a more traditional recipe too. It calls for 10 ingredients, cooks in under 30 minutes, and is absolutely delicious. I hope you love it as…

White chocolate chips give them creamy pockets of sweetness, and walnuts add delicious crunch. These blondies are super simple to make (1 bowl! 8 ingredients!), so they’re a great dessert to whip up whenever you’re in the mood for something sweet.

What's better than regular butter? Brown butter! Its toasty, nutty flavor adds delicious depth to baked goods. Learn how to make it with this simple guide!

Learn how to brown butter! I’m always a fan of simplicity when it comes to baking. But for the right recipe, even I will admit that pulling out an extra pan and taking a few minutes to brown butter is worth it.

When you add it to baked goods like chocolate chip cookies and blondies, it packs in all that toasty, nutty goodness, making your treats taste extra-delicious and complex.
