ARUGULA AND GOAT CHEESE TARTINE
Steps:
- Lay out the toast slices and spread them with the goat cheese. Place the arugula and sliced tomato on top of the goat cheese, and serve.
WARM GOAT CHEESE IN PHYLLO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unroll the sheets of phyllo dough on a flat surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel. (If the towel is too wet, the dough will get sticky.) Working quickly so the dough doesn't dry out, place one sheet of phyllo on a board, brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Continue until you have 4 sheets stacked up. Cut the sheets in half crosswise to make 2 almost-squares.
- Cut one of the goat cheeses in half horizontally, making 2 thin discs. Place each disc in the center of one phyllo square. Starting at one corner, fold the phyllo up over the cheese and continue folding and pleating the phyllo around the cheese, as though you're wrapping a round gift that's tied on top. You will end with extra phyllo dough on top; twist the excess into a topknot. Brush the discs all over with melted butter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue with the remaining phyllo dough and 2 goat cheese discs to make 4 additional packages.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the phyllo is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- While the cheese packages bake, place the salad greens in a large bowl. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil, making an emulsion. Toss the salad greens with enough vinaigrette to moisten.
- Distribute the salad among 6 plates and place one warm goat cheese package in the center of each plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

GRILLED GOAT CHEESE & ARUGULA SANDWICHES
To create a more "grown-up" grilled cheese sandwich, I threw in tangy goat cheese and peppery arugula. I enjoy a similar combination on pizza, and it worked here, too! -Jess Apfe, Berkeley, California

Steps:
- To make pasta dough in a food processor:
- Blend together all dough ingredients in processor until mixture just begins to form a ball. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, incorporating only as much additional flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 1 hour (to make rolling easier).
- To make dough by hand:
- Whisk together flours in a bowl, then mound flour mixture on a work surface, preferably wooden, and make a well in center. Add yolks, oil, salt, and water to well. With a fork, gently beat yolks, oil, and water until combined. Gradually stir in enough flour to form a paste, pulling in flour closest to egg mixture and being careful not to make an opening in outer wall of well. Knead remaining flour into mixture with your hands to form a dough (it will be soft and sticky). Knead dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Cover with an inverted bowl and let stand 1 hour (to make rolling easier).
- Make filling while dough stands:
- Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then add garlic, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula and zest and cook, turning with tongs, until arugula is wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer arugula mixture to a fine-mesh sieve and press with back of a wooden spoon to extract excess liquid, then finely chop.
- Stir together arugula mixture and cheeses in a bowl.
- Make ravioli:
- Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Cover 7 pieces with plastic wrap and pat out remaining piece into a flat rectangle. Generously dust with flour.
- Set rollers of pasta maker on widest setting. Feed rectangle, a short side first, through rollers. Fold rectangle in thirds, like a letter, and feed it, a short side first, through rollers. Repeat 6 or 7 more times, folding dough in thirds and feeding it through rollers, a short side first each time, dusting with flour to prevent sticking. Turn dial to next (narrower) setting and feed dough through rollers without folding, a short side first. Continue to feed dough through without folding, making space between rollers narrower each time, until the second to narrowest setting is used. (Do not roll too thin or pasta will tear when filled.)
- Put sheet of dough on a lightly floured kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a long side nearest you. Drop 5 or 6 rounded teaspoon-size mounds of filling 1 1/2 inches apart in a row down center of right half of sheet, then lift left half of sheet and drape over mounds. Press down firmly but gently around each mound, forcing out air. (Air pockets increase the chance that ravioli will break during cooking.) Cut pasta (between mounds) with a sharp knife into roughly 2 1/2-inch squares. Line a large shallow baking pan with a clean dry kitchen towel (not terry cloth), then arrange ravioli in 1 layer in it. Make more ravioli with remaining pieces of dough and remaining filling in same manner, transferring to lined pan.
- Make sauce:
- Heat butter in cleaned 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook pine nuts, stirring frequently, until pale golden, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, pepper, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and oil, swirling skillet to combine, and remove from heat. (Leave sauce in skillet.)
- Cook ravioli:
- Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle boil. While water is heating, reheat sauce over low heat if necessary.
- Add half of ravioli to gently boiling water, carefully stirring to separate, and cook, adjusting heat to keep at a gentle boil, until pasta is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon, draining well over pot, then transfer to skillet with sauce and gently swirl skillet to coat pasta. Transfer ravioli to a platter with half of sauce and sprinkle evenly with half of chopped fresh arugula. Repeat with remaining pasta, sauce, and arugula.

Steps:
- Preheat oven according to pizza package instructions.
- Dab pesto onto the center of the pizza base, and spread toward the outer edges. Cut the goat cheese into thin coins, and spread or crumble across the pizza. Arrange tomato slices over goat cheese. Sprinkle with garlic. Brush the crust edges lightly with olive oil.
- Place pizza directly on preheated oven rack. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust edges are golden.

GOAT CHEESE WITH EDIBLE FLOWERS AND ARUGULA
When you have a bunch of edible blossoms, let their vibrant colors do the work for you. Simply mix chopped flowers (petals and leaves) into softened goat cheese, then shape into rounds and pat more flowers on top. Any edible flower will work; peppery nasturtium, borage, and pansy are shown here. This recipe appears in our cookbook, "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Steps:
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, all-purpose and whole wheat flours, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until well-combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour, then turn the dough out and knead for 1-2 minutes to smooth and encourage gluten development. Shape the dough into a ball.
- Drizzle the olive oil in the bowl. Add the dough and turn to coat in the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the balsamic vinegar, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 25 minutes more, until the onions are tender and caramelized. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Punch down the dough, then divide into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece to an 8-inch (20 cm) round, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush each side of the dough lightly with olive oil. One at a time, grill each flatbread for about 4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the dough is cooked through.
- Add the arugula to a medium bowl, along with the caramelized onions, remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Toss well.
- Top each flatbread with some of the arugula mixture, 6 peach slices, and 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the goat cheese is cut into uniform rounds.
- If you want a crispier phyllo pastry, brush it with melted butter before baking.
- For a more pronounced nutty flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the filling.
- If you don't have arugula, you can substitute another leafy green, such as spinach or kale.
- Serve the goat cheese appetizers immediately after they are baked, while they are still warm and gooey.
