A fine version of a hearty classic.

This one was pretty good Michael!
This pasta will transport you - before you know it you'll be driving along the Baja coast, in a convertible with the top down, warm wind in your hair, the salt encrusted on your body. And you'll be thinking, "Why can't I be back home making Johanna and Mary Jo's Baja Lime Pasta ... NOT."
This is a great clearing-out-the-fridge recipe. My inspiration actually came from an old Cooking Light recipe and a fridge full of vegetables that needed using—but not all vegetables that the original recipe called for. I love the big pieces of cauliflower that came from that experiment, but I have also made versions with parsnips, turnips, winter or summer squash, extra carrots, and swiss chard.
A wholesome noodle soup inspired by a family recipe.

Stuffing is a personal thing. I like this recipe from my friend Laird Saunderson because I love fruit stuffing with turkey. If you are more traditional, replace the apples with a pound of crumbled sausage meat, and use chopped fresh sage instead of tarragon.
For the best results, use slightly stale bread. Challah or egg bread makes an excellent stuffing.
Place any extra stuffing in a greased baking dish and bake, covered, for an hour at 375°F.
