Pasta Alla Vodka for the Adults, Fried Rice for the Kids

This week at New York Times Cooking, we published an amazing list of recipes that kids — a notoriously choosy (and highly ungrateful) demographic — actually love to eat, sourced from readers of this very newsletter. But let’s not neglect the adults! We’ve got Eric Kim’s fiercely boozy ricotta pasta alla vodka below, alongside recipes for every eater.
