POTATO BASIL PUREE
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the basil leaves to the boiling water and cook for exactly 15 seconds. Remove the basil with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge the leaves into the ice water to set the bright green color. Drain and set aside.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in quarters. Add the potatoes to the same pot of boiling water and return to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain well, return to the saucepan, and steam over low heat until any remaining water evaporates.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese until the cream simmers. Place the basil in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree. Add the hot cream mixture and process until smooth.
- With a handheld mixer with the beater attachment, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly add the hot basil cream, the salt, and pepper and beat until smooth. If the potatoes need to be reheated, cover and cook gently over low heat for a few minutes. Pour into a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, season to taste, and serve hot.
CREAMY CORN PASTA WITH BASIL
There's no cream in this wonderfully summery pasta dish, just a luscious sauce made from puréed fresh corn and sweet sautéed scallions, along with Parmesan for depth and red chile flakes for a contrasting bite. Be sure to add the lemon juice and fresh herbs at the end; the rich pasta really benefits from their bright, fresh flavors. And while this is best made at the height of corn season, it's still quite good even with out-of-season supermarket ears, or with frozen corn.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat; add scallion whites and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and all but 1/4 cup corn; simmer until corn is heated through and almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, transfer to a blender, and purée mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to get a thick but pourable texture.
- Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add butter and let melt. Add reserved 1/4 cup corn and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's O.K. if the butter browns; that deepens the flavor.) Add the corn purée and cook for 30 seconds to heat and combine the flavors.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add pasta and half the reserved pasta cooking water, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then add a little more of the pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in 1/4 cup of the scallion greens, the Parmesan, the herbs, the red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to taste. Transfer to warm pasta bowls and garnish with more scallions, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.

- Carrots. Want to use something more vibrant in color than your mashed potatoes? Then this carrot puree is the perfect dish for your pureed food phase.
- Spiced pumpkin with carrot. Spicy, creamy, flavorful, and golden in color. This pumpkin and carrot silkiness tastes (and looks) almost like sunshine in a bowl, you won’t even miss regular foods.
- Tomato Soup. I find that tomato soups are the perfect nourishment for summer days. They are vibrant and creamy. But not too warming as opposed to other fall ingredients.
- Butternut Squash. Squash soups are a fall-favorite creaminess that does not need any introduction. They are velvety and packed with enough warm flavors to force you to cozy up in your nook afterward.
- Curried Squash. If you love curry flavors with squash (and who doesn’t?) , this creamy bowl is perfect for your suddenly-cold fall days. Besides the curry paste, it is also packed with coconut milk, sweet applesauce, and enough ginger to make it super flavorful.
- Pumpkin Butter. Mmm, pumpkin butter! That sweet, aromatic, thick, and super comforting spread is the perfect match for your soft food diet. Isn’t that the perfect way to use up all that extra pumpkin around Halloween, or what?
- Mashed Potato and Kohlrabi. Haven’t tried a kohlrabi puree before? Trust me, it will become your fall dinners’ new best friend. Along with potatoes, it makes one starchy, filling, and incredibly satisfying dish.
- Leek and Potato Soup. Adding leeks instead of onions in your soups is a great way to introduce some depth to that creaminess into pureed food recipes.
- Broccoli. The thing I love the most about broccoli soups? They are so darn quick and easy to make. Plus, it is just as tasty as frozen florets, which saves a lot of time.
- Parsnip. Better than potatoes, this parsnip mash makes one creamy winter meal to meet your nutritional needs. The trick to the smooth creaminess here?
