Mustard Salmon with Cannellini Bean Ragù

Go to Recipe

These rustic cannellini beans don't cook for very long, but they have a rich, rustic flavor because they're simmered with prosciutto and escarole. Along with the mustard-and-garlic-glazed salmon, it's a great one-dish meal.

Nonna's Artichokes

Go to Recipe

Giada De Laurentiis's nonna Luna was a great cook, and the star chef loves her artichokes, which are quickly braised in a mix of garlic and anchovies, then broiled with Parmesan bread crumbs.

Chopped Kale Salad with Prosciutto and Figs

Go to Recipe

Giada De Laurentiis tops her colorful chopped salad of greens, figs and prosciutto with shavings of Gorgonzola. She freezes the cheese first, so it's firm enough to shave, but you can always crumble it over the salad instead.

Swordfish Spiedini

Go to Recipe

Giada De Laurentiis cuts swordfish into chunks and cooks them on skewers so the fish is done extra fast. Alternatively, "I like to skewer the swordfish on rosemary sticks before grilling them," De Laurentiis says. "The rosemary sticks infuse the fish with such a nice flavor."

Baked Rigatoni with Mushrooms and Prosciutto

Go to Recipe

Unlike most pasta dishes, which are best served immediately, this baked rigatoni is perfect for preparing ahead and heating just before serving. To make this recipe for 12, double it and bake it in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes.
