Mix in sautéed 1/2-inch cubes of butternut squash, if you like.

TEST-KITCHEN TIP:

In this recipe, the brown butter isn't strained, but it is in the shortbread and the ice cream. Why? In some recipes, the milk solids are strained out of the brown butter to ensure a smooth texture. In others, the brown butter is strained because it will be cooked with other ingredients and the milk solids might burn.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
