I reviewed all of Trader Joe's refrigerated ravioli that I could find and ranked them. So I made it my mission to try all of the refrigerated ravioli I could find at Trader Joe's and rank them from worst to best. Trader Joe's porcini-mushroom-and-truffle ravioli was packed with a rich flavor that may not be for everyoneThis ravioli even smelled like mushrooms. After trying it for the first time last year, it quickly became one of my favorite foods at Trader Joe's. WINNER: This cacio-e-pepe ravioli might be one of the best pasta products Trader Joe's has ever createdI love Trader Joe's cacio-e-pepe ravioli.

I wanted to taste a descendant of those ancient peppers, Peru’s native ají amarillo. Now it was time to learn how this distillation of ají amarillo manifested in local dishes. I felt as if this might be the closest I’d yet come to really tasting ají amarillo, its frank optimism, its essence as a fruit. The ají amarillo sauce was frozen into a shimmery yellow dust that turned to leche de tigre on the plate. Then came the soup, made of ají amarillo gone long on the stove with fish stock and fermented corn.

“I started receiving emails from folks whose doctors had prescribed the Mediterranean diet and were seeking approachable recipes,” Karadsheh said. Instead of cutting anything out, consider focusing on these seven commandments of the Mediterranean lifestyle, Karadsheh recommends. Use mostly extra-virgin olive oilIncorporating olive oil as a primary source of fat is the No. 1 thing that distinguishes the Mediterranean diet from other eating patterns, according to Karadsheh. A cake with olive oil is so tender since olive oil remains liquid at room temp.

☆ Comfort Cooking Beyond Casseroles

Any conversation about comfort cooking has to include roast chicken. Colu Henry’s roast chicken with maple butter and rosemary is a little sweet, a little salty, very savory and tremendously comforting. Ali Slagle’s recipe really lets you slouch into it, too. Love Your LeftoversThe herbal-sweet, rosemary-maple flavors of the roast chicken would be really nice in Ali’s 10-minute chicken salad with fennel and charred dates. And leftover roasted peppers, greens and beans would convert quite easily into a quick minestrone.

I've been following the Mediterranean diet for years, and I've learned a lot of simple recipes. I take a minimalist approach to my diet and often only use a few ingredients in my meals. I've discovered a love for orange, avocado, and shrimp saladI wasn't initially convinced that orange, mustard, and shrimp went together. I've concocted a Mediterranean version of a make-your-own pizzaIf you have an at-home dinner date coming up, make some puff-pastry pizza together. I've only recently discovered tofu, and I've been enjoying adding it to salads and grain bowls for a protein boost.

☆ Eggplant Extravaganza

has a bumper crop!” — AmyIf you find eggplant inedible, either because of its texture or taste, you want recipes that use up as much produce as possible while making it largely undetectable. In Kay Chun’s eggplant and bean chili, eggplant is simmered in a garlicky tomato sauce until it collapses into a chile-spiced ragù. Pairing stewed eggplant with aromatics and protein-packed legumes is a solid strategy: Kay does it again in her recipe for eggplant dal, in which cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger and fresh chile season lentils and eggplant. Bitter eggplant is often undercooked eggplant. And if you’re frustrated with the results of sautéing and baking, try steaming: In about 10 minutes, strips of eggplant are rendered silky in Hetty Lui McKinnon’s recipe for liang ban qie zi, eggplant with garlic, ginger and scallions.

☆ 5 times scientists thought they'd maybe discovered signs of extraterrestrial life but sadly didn't

Extraterrestrial life could exist, but mysterious objects in the sky aren't evidence of aliens. Scientists have thought they were close to discovering alien life a few times — none of it via UFOs. As the US discovered a flurry of UFOs — officially called "unidentified anomalous phenomena," or UAPs — in early February, Google searches for "extraterrestrial life" and "are aliens real" spiked. There have been incidents in the past where some researchers thought they'd come close to discovering signs of alien life — or even extraterrestrial intelligence — but none were UFOs. They dubbed the first interstellar object 'Oumuamua, which is a Hawaiian term meaning "a messenger from afar arriving first."

Though the ingredients in each container should be the same — anchovies, salt and olive oil — the fillets will vary in saltiness, taste and texture.

GOOD FUNGUS Roast the mushrooms first to concentrate their flavor and ensure that they crisp nicely on the pizza as it cooks. THE BRIGHT-GREEN SAUCE might be what you notice first about this pizza, but wild mushrooms are “what this is all about,” said chef Javier Ramirez. His third Slow Food Fast recipe is a streamlined take on a pizza that’s been on the menu at his Miami restaurant, La Natural, since it opened. Here, the finished pizza gets a good drizzle of garlicky oil and a scattering of fresh parsley. “We’re herb and vegetable forward at La Natural,” the chef said.

“I think in every country in the world, historically, some soups were seen as restorative.”That’s true no matter what you call it. These are CNN Travel’s nominations for 20 of the best soups around the world:Banga | NigeriaBanga is so popular in Nigeria that shops sell ready-mixed packets of spice. By 1930, Nguyen explained, the soup was served with slices of raw beef cooked gently in the broth. Today, beef pho remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix of raw and cooked beef, brisket and tendon. Slip them into a bowl of beef broth for a world-class soup that includes tender beef, pale slices of radish, chili oil and fresh herbs.
