The kitchen is calling! From the Super Bowl to Valentine's Day, February gives us plenty of reasons to cook something special. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner for two or feeding a hungry crowd watching the big game, we have recipes that'll make staying in feel special. This month, we're focusing on dishes that take a little extra time but deliver big on flavor.
Must Make Dinner: Restaurant-Quality Mains
These three standout dishes might take a little extra time in the kitchen, but they'll rival anything you'd find at your favorite restaurant:
Beef Osso Bucco: Simple ingredients transform through slow cooking so the meat falls off the bone in a rich sauce.
Start with our recipe for Italian Gravy, a rich tomato sauce that's the heart of any Italian meal. This rich tomato sauce, loaded with meat and herbs, makes any pasta dinner special. Later in the week, transform the leftover sauce (along with our Italian-style Meatballs) into Hawaiian Roll Meatball Sliders. They're perfect for casual dinners or game day snacking.
Kitchen Basics: Italian-Style Meatballs
Skip the eggs! Our Italian Style Meatballs use fresh ricotta for tender, flavorful results. The combination of beef, pork, ricotta, and seasonings creates perfect meatballs every time. Serve them over your favorite pasta, or make them bite-sized for the perfect party appetizer.
Weekend Cooking Project: Southern Comfort
No one rushes a good bowl of grits. Our Southern Style Shrimp and Grits with Andouille Sausage starts with stone-ground grits, slowly simmered until silky smooth. Then, cook plump Gulf shrimp and spicy andouille in a rich sauce, creating layers of flavor that make this New Orleans classic worth every minute at the stove.
