Minestrone Soup
This variation on the Italian classic cooks up into a thick, delicious soup that's perfect for a cold winter night. The secret to making great minestrone is to sauté the vegetables over medium heat, adding each one in turn. Starting with the onion builds a robust, flavorful base that provides a solid backbone for the soup. Take your time to ensure that the vegetables are cooked and you'll reduce your overall cooking time.

Mushroom Ragu
This thick, rich sauce has complex earthy aromas with satisfyingly chunky bites, yet is simple to make and is very low in fat and carbs. For the best results, use two to three different kinds of mushrooms for this dish. More complex mushrooms will give this dish a more nuanced flavor, but even plain white mushrooms will be delicious.
