3 pounds Granny Smith apples—peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, finely diced and chilled, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Scant 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice and granulated sugar. In a very large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the apples and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Scrape the apples into a large baking dish. Wipe out the bowl. Add flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, salt, cardamom and the 1 stick of diced butter and, using your fingers, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Press the topping into clumps and scatter it over the apples.
Bake the crisp for 45 to 50 minutes, until the apples are bubbling and the topping is golden. Let cool then serve warm with crème fraîche or ice cream.

Parmigiano-Crusted Rigatoni with Cauliflower and Prosciutto
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound rigatoni
One 1 3/4-pound head of cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 ounces sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons
Preheat the broiler. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the rigatoni until al dente; about 6 minutes before the rigatoni is done, add the cauliflower florets to the pot. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the panko with the Parmigiano cheese and the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Return the rigatoni and cauliflower to the pot. Add the garlic cream, the prosciutto and the reserved pasta water and toss until the pasta is coated. Scrape the pasta into a large shallow baking dish and sprinkle the panko mixture evenly over the top. Broil for about 2 minutes, rotating constantly, until the topping is evenly browned. Serve hot.
