Recipe: Lemon Butter Pasta & Veggies — Recipes from The Kitchn

Although Labor Day signals the unofficial end of summer, the weather and farmers markets suggest otherwise. That's more than okay with us, because we're planning to squeeze as much out of the season as we can before fall hits. This pasta is just one way we're doing it: It's full of tender zucchini, juicy cherry tomatoes, and vibrant fresh basil, all pulled together with a super-simple lemon-butter sauce that's enhanced with a touch of garlic.

Make it while you're still overwhelmed with summer produce, and suddenly you won't be in such a rush to get to apples and pumpkin.

Recipe: Fish Tacos with Quick Cabbage Slaw — Weeknight Recipes from The Kitchn

They're remarkably adaptable to any type of not-too-expensive fish you might find in your local market. You can use any kind of white fish fillet, like sole, snapper, catfish, or tilapia. I prefer saltwater species, but sometimes the freshwater farmed fish are more economical.

The textural contrast between lightly crispy fish, supple corn tortillas, and soft avocado is a big part of this simple recipe's success.

It still kind of blows my mind every time I think about it, but adding a little fat to the ground beef, forming them into patties, and seasoning with salt is our smart (and easy) new technique for better burgers at home. Those little streaks of butter will keep you from stressing over which beef to buy, and you don't even have to be disappointed when your father in-law asks for his burger well-done (it will still be delicious).
