Sweet grape tomatoes are simmered with garlic and then combined with three types of cheese - pepperjack, mozzarella, and Parmesan - to create this Mediterranean-style pasta dish.
Big, spicy Anaheim peppers are stuffed with chicken and cheese, broiled, and served in a savory sauce flavored with chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, and a bit of bittersweet chocolate.
Inexpensive veal shanks become a succulent meal in the slow cooker. Even if you aren't an anchovy lover, don't omit the anchovy paste--it adds immeasurably to the flavor. Use the remaining broth mixture in soups and stews.
