Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

There's nothing like a plate of beautifully coated pasta, and this curly cavatappi covered in a creamy melange of lemon, tomato, and parmesan tastes as good as it looks.

1 pound dried cavatappi pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fine-grated lemon peel
1 cup heavy cream
1 ripe tomato, chopped
1/4 cup grated good-quality Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
1 lemon, juiced
Cook cavatappi according to directions, drain and rinse; set aside.
Heat oil in a nonreactive large saucepan over low heat. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds, do not brown. Add lemon peel and cream, bring to a simmer and cook 6 to 8 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Add tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over all and mix well. Serve the cavatappi immediately.
