SCALLION CREAM CHEESE, BAGEL SHOP STYLE
This recipe for a loftier version of cream cheese is also a formula for any number of dips and spreads. Instead of scallions, you might add horseradish, sriracha, toasted walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, maple syrup or honey. When shopping for cream cheese, choose one with the shortest list of ingredients; anything besides cream, milk, and salt is a filler or a preservative. But even if you start with less-than-perfect cream cheese from the supermarket, whipping it in a stand mixer and adding heavy cream to loosen the mixture will produce a smooth, fluffy spread. Sour cream would work just as well as heavy cream. It's best to make this just before serving - at Baz Bagel & Restaurant in Little Italy, they make it three times a day to preserve the fresh taste - but it also lasts well in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip until smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the cream and then the scallions, dill, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until firm.
- Line a 6-inch coeur a la creme mold or a 6-inch sieve with a few layers of cheesecloth, allowing the excess to drape over the sides. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cheesecloth and smooth the top. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top of the creme. Suspend the sieve over a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to serve, discard the liquid that has collected in the bowl and invert the creme onto a plate. Serve chilled with crackers and a small knife.
SCALLION AND DILL CREAM CHEESE
Steps:
- Place the cream cheese, scallions, dill, milk, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until smooth. Place in a serving dish and garnish with extra fresh dill.
PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS
There are about a gazillion ways to cook pasta using other pantry staples - things like garlic, bread crumbs, pecorino, capers, olives and especially, canned fish. This recipe, pasta with tuna, anchovies and capers, showered with lots of green herbs and scallions, is one of my family's household favorites. I like it with a long, thin, twirlable pasta - spaghetti, linguine or bucatini - but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. Even macaroni works just fine and might even persuade your finicky kid to eat this dish (though, so far, mine abstains).

Steps:
- In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
- Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
