with Pancetta and Broccoli Rabe

12. Instructions
1. Pierce each sweet potato with a fork in a few
spots. Arrange on a microwave-safe plate and
microwave until soft, about 12 minutes.

over medium heat, turning once, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove from
the skillet and drain on paper towels. Increase the heat to medium high; add
the broccoli rabe and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet and cook, stirring
occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic and red pepper
flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 3
more minutes.
3. Mix the ricotta, parmesan, and nutmeg to taste in a small bowl. Split open
the sweet potatoes lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork. Top each with
about 1 teaspoon of the ricotta mixture, then top evenly with the broccoli
rabe mixture and the remaining ricotta mixture. Chop the pancetta and
sprinkle evenly on top.

13. Eight 6-inch whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray or olive oil, for oiling
tortillas
1 tablespoon spicy brown or Dijon
mustard
1 cup shredded low-sodium Swiss (4
ounces)
4 ounces very thinly sliced low-
sodium lean Black Forest or Virginia
ham
1/2 small red onion, extra thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons no-sugar-added
apple butter, plus more for topping,
optional
2 small apples, cut into thin sticks
(red and green)
Lemon juice and ground cinnamon
for tossing
HAM, APPLE & CHEESE
QUESADILLA

14. Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
2. Spray 4 of the tortillas with cooking spray (or brush
with olive oil). Lay the oiled tortillas on a large cutting
board oiled-side down. Brush with the mustard and
sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Top each evenly with a thin layer of ham,
onions and some pepper, and then finish with the remaining cheese.
Brush the apple butter evenly on the remaining tortillas. Place one apple-butter
tortilla on top of a ham-and-cheese tortilla (filling sides in), and firmly press the
tortillas together to make a quesadilla.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay a quesadilla oiled-side down
in the pan and cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2
minutes. Spray the top of the quesadilla with cooking spray, turn and cook until
the other side browns and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a
baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
4. Cut the quesadillas into 4 wedges and arrange on plates. Toss the apples with
lemon and juice and cinnamon to taste. Serve with the apple slices.

peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly, about 4
minutes. Add the pepperoncini, tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes
and 3/4 cup water and stir to combine.
2. Bring to a rapid simmer, then nestle the steak in the sauce and
simmer, turning once, until medium rare, about 7 minutes. Transfer the
