In this recipe from Ellie Krieger's book Whole in One, cod fillets are simmered in a sumptuous broth that’s made magically golden and aromatic with a generous pinch of saffron, along with onion, carrot, fennel, white beans, and thyme.
This terrific warm pasta gets a flavor boost from a quickly made garlic and red pepper-flake oil. Goat cheese adds creaminess, sundried tomatoes and browned broccoli add umami.
Risotto is a perfect vehicle for showcasing fall veggies, but roasted butternut squash is a favorite for pairing with parmigianno, thyme, and pine nuts.
