LEAH’S HOMEY GREEK MACARONI AND CHEESE

Make this on a cold Saturday night. Eat it from a big bowl, sitting on the couch in your stocking feet—with your child, husband, best friend, cat, or by yourself.

I’m not sure how I started making this dish, but it was probably based on what our pantry had to offer as well as my memories of Greek island life. The more immediate inspirations were hungry mother (me) and equally hungry daughter (the Leah of the recipe title). The vegetable juice would have been a pantry substitute for the diced tomato I used in Greece (but we came to love the vegetable juice even more). I also added more cheese than Greek islanders would dream of. A comfort dish extraordinaire.

We liked to eat crunchy raw vegetables to start with: radishes, celery, and cucumbers. And we munched on cherry tomatoes, too, biting down on them, one at a time, the little tomatoes exploding in our mouths! Afterward we sometimes made chocolate-roasted bananas. It’s quite simple: Make a slit on one side of an unpeeled banana, stick in as many slices of dark chocolate as will fit, put on a baking sheet, chocolate side up, and bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes, or long enough to melt the chocolate. Eat the smooshy hot banana and chocolate with a spoon directly from the banana skin, and you won’t even need to wash up.
