Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Scatter the leeks in the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta and the reserved cooking liquid to the skillet with the leeks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sugar and the balsamic vinegar. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the radicchio and cheese. Toss until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and top with the hazelnuts.

Steps:

• Prepare 1 cup wild rice blend as the label directs. Cook 1 thinly sliced leek in 2 tablespoons butter with a few thyme sprigs until tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the rice with half of the leek mixture, then top with the rest. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring about 1 gallon of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 1/4 cup salt to the water. Add the penne and cook until al dente, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. While the pasta is still warm, add the arugula, hazelnuts, pecorino, oil, scallions and lemon juice. Toss to combine and to allow the arugula to wilt slightly. Serve sprinkled with pecorino,

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet or line it with waxed paper or a nonstick baking mat. Toss all of the ingredients together in a bowl and turn out onto the prepared pan, spreading out the hazelnuts so they do not touch. Bake until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Check at 15 minutes then let bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. Loosen the hazelnuts from the bottom of the pan with a spatula and cool in the pan at room temperature; store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up it up to a boil to cook the pasta, season with some salt and cook to al dente, according to package directions. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water.
• Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in medium nonstick skillet. Add artichokes to heat through and lightly brown at edges.
• To clean spinach, fill sink with water, swish spinach around and let grit fall to bottom of sink. Dry leaves before using.
• In the bowl of a food processor add the shallot, 1/2 cup chicken stock, spinach leaves, mint, almonds and salt and pepper, to taste. If you have a hand held small-holed grater or a zester, grate garlic into the food processor. Adding a whole clove can result in stray big pieces of raw garlic, too bitter to bite down on. If you do not have a hand held grater, mince garlic and mash up into paste with a little salt. Turn processor on and add in about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
• Scrape the spinach pesto into the artichoke pan and loosely cover with foil. Bring mixture to a simmer over low to medium-low heat and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the reserved pasta cooking water, the pasta and the cheese. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce and heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
