Gemelli Salad with Green Beans, Pistachios, and Lemon-Thyme Vinaigrette

Haricots verts are thin, tender green beans. If you can't find them, use trimmed regular green beans, but add them to the pasta after 8 minutes of cooking since they'll take longer to cook. You can make the salad ahead, but dress it just before serving so the beans don't turn drab.

Citrus-Marinated Roasted Chicken

If you're going to roast one chicken, why not roast two? That way, you have plenty of leftovers to use in new, delicious guises later in the week. This recipe uses a two-part roasting method: first, the chicken is roasted at a high temperature to brown the skin, and then at a lower temperature to gently cook the meat through.
