Cheesy Kale and Mushroom Strata
This effortless one-pan dinner is made in a cast-iron skillet, but you can also cook the kale mixture in a stainless-steel skillet, then bake the strata in a 13x9" baking dish—either way, you won't regret making this cheesy, warming meal.

Olive Oil Apple Cake With Spiced Sugar
This dairy-free cake hits all the right autumnal notes: it’s earthy thanks to the olive oil, warm thanks to the spices. Just be sure to choose your apples wisely—a softer type will melt into the cake, while firmer apples (such as Granny Smith) will give the cake a coarser texture.

Jammy Eggs and Feta Flatbreads with Herbs
Because older eggs are easier to peel, this is one of those times when grocery store eggs outperform the ones from the farmers’ market.

Twice-Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Hot Honey
This recipe embraces the incredible natural sweetness of sweet potatoes but gives it a spicy edge.

Salt-As-You-Go Pasta
The combination of salty water and salty Parmesan puts this pasta at risk of becoming over-salted. If that happens, throw in a knob of unsalted butter at the end to mellow it and add a smooth finish.
