2One-Pan Tuna Pasta
Andrew buiThis recipe is a bit of a riff on a pasta puttanesca, using familiar ingredients such as capers, anchovies, and olives. But instead of sitting over a pot of simmering tomato sauce, we used sun-dried tomatoes to form a paste that, when combined with pasta water, is transformed into a luscious sauce–and it’s all made in one pan!

5Cottage Cheese Alfredo
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: TAYLOR ANN SPENCERFiguring out how to give Alfredo sauce more nutritional value is the ultimate healthy meal hack. This classic creamy sauce already had a place in our hearts, but adding cottage cheese and spinach took the love to new heights. The cottage cheese-based sauce comes together in a blender or food processor in a few seconds, then simmered to thick, velvety, cheesy perfection before getting tossed with fresh spinach and al dente fettuccine. Finish the whole thing with crushed red pepper flakes to create your new favorite meatless Monday meal.

11Vegan Alfredo Sauce
Suzanne ClementsAn ultra-creamy, velvety smooth Alfredo sauce sans dairy is within reach thanks to protein-filled cashews. The classic version of this dish is made with fettuccine, but since we're already bucking tradition with the sauce, why not try another fun pasta shape? Go for whole wheat for even more protein.
