Gwyneth Paltrow — actor, entrepreneur, and Goop founder — is also an excellent cook who has published more than five cookbooks. From Parmesan broiled asparagus to clams that steam in a garlicky wine sauce, her recipes place an emphasis on simplicity and fresh, in-season ingredients. Here are six Gwyneth Paltrow-approved recipes you'll love.
Parmesan Asparagus with Poached Eggs
This elegant dish is seasonal cooking at its best. Blanched asparagus are sprinkled with a generous amount of Parmesan, broiled until golden, and topped with eggs that have been poached in the asparagus blanching liquid.
Niçoise Salad
Paltrow has said a classic Niçoise salad is one of favorite meals. She turns the dish into a hearty one-pan dinner by roasting tuna steaks on top of tomatoes, olives, anchovies, and asparagus. Egg-filled ramekins bake at the same time.
Fried Zucchini Spaghetti

This simple pasta dish is an homage to the fried zucchini Paltrow often ordered at Elio's, an Italian restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side, when she was growing up. Golden, lightly fried zucchini slices are scattered on top of al dente spaghetti along with basil, Parmesan, and lemon for a fast, elegant summer meal.
French-Onion-Style White Bean Soup
"I've always loved the idea of French onion soup without actually liking the soup itself," says Paltrow of this recipe, made with slow-cooked onions, vegetable stock, and cannellini beans. She was inspired by a dish served at Los Angeles French restaurant La Serre, where she used to eat with her father.
Barbecue-Glazed Turkey Burgers
These simple and flavorful burgers are made with jarred barbecue sauce, which keeps them from drying out. They're glazed with more barbecue sauce, served on toasted brioche buns, and topped with pickled jalapeños, Swiss cheese, and pickle chips.
Gwyneth's Clams
Paltrow came up with this appetizer recipe when she had a bottle of wine and a pile of clams on hand. The clams steam in a simple sauce of white wine, garlic, and bay leaves that's perfect for sopping up with crusty bread.
